We perform all initial consultations in your home. This enables us to see the environment in which your pet lives, observe your pet's behavior in familiar surroundings, and makes it easy for the entire family to participate in the consultation. This initial visit lasts about two hours. We will perform a detailed interview to gather as much information about your pet's problems as possible. Once we've identified all of the issues and triggers, we will prioritize them based on what you feel is most important. We tailor our solutions to fit your goals and your lifestyle. We'll have you and your pet working towards better behavior before we leave your home.
We bring a folder with custom handouts which we've developed that provide educational and instructional information about your pet's problems. We will explain each behavior modification protocol to you. We will demonstrate each protocol and then coach you in how to perform the behavior modification until you feel comfortable doing it on your own.
We will bring the custom handouts, books, and tools that you need to begin working. We will provide you with a written Behavior Modification Report that will document what we covered in our consultation. Once you've completed an initial consultation with us, you received unlimited phone and email support free of charge. We will check in with you weekly and bi-weekly to assess your progress and help keep you motivated and on track. We only charge additional fees if we return to you in person.
Out of Town Clients: If you live outside of our service area, we invite you to bring your dog to us. We offer private behavior consultations at various studios in the Seattle, WA and Portland, OR areas.
