HOW DO ONLINE COACHING SESSIONS WORK?

We schedule our session just like any other appointment, except that we meet virtually in a Zoom Video Conferencing room. We go in-depth about your goals and challenges with your dog(s), and then we work out a training plan. Just like our in-person lessons this plan may include multiple components including, but not limited to, management, training, behavior modification, enrichment, and exercise. For follow-up sessions, we discuss progress and further challenges and then move on to the next step of the training plan when you and your dog are ready.

HOW WILL I UNDERSTAND WHAT TO WORK ON BETWEEN SESSIONS?

For any homework that we want to give you and your dog to work on together, we will discuss this in detail during our session and also provide you with any applicable handouts and video links for additional support.

CAN AN ONLINE TRAINING SESSION REALLY HELP ME ACHIEVE MY GOALS WITH MY DOG?

Our goal is to teach humans how to teach their dogs. We believe that the real, lasting change comes from improving your confidence and know-how in your dog training skills and thus boosting your relationship with your own dog. So while there are certainly a few skills and challenges that may be more difficult to fully master in the online session format we are certain we can help you make progress to your goals with your dog!
