RETURNING CLIENTS:
How I work
We start with a 60-minute online conversation where I learn more about you and your dog. In this meeting I want to hear about your goals and challenges so that I can make an assessment and suggest an action plan. After that you sign up for the training subscription plan. As a subscriber, you will receive from me weekly homework assignments, educational games, and personalized tips and guidance on how to train your dog. Anytime along the way you can send me videos, questions, voice and text messages that I will respond at least twice a week.
We are social!
