During our initial lesson we will dig into the challenges you are having, discuss what behaviours you want to see and develop a plan. We will determine how many weeks to start with and the number of weeksrecommended will depend on the behaviour concern. We will provide regular updates and once a week we will complete a transfer session so you can take part in the training program. Adjustments in the length of the training program may be required depending on the progress your dog makes.
Lessons will take place in your home and out in the real world at locations where you need the most help.
