A consultation is a great way for the trainer to get a good understanding of the dog and the owner to develop an effective training plan to meet the training goals. Mary has a 1-2 hour consultation to meet the owner and the dog, and do a thorough assessment of the dog’s history, behaviour, home life, and the owner’s abilities as a dog handler. With this consultation, she will develop a personalized training programme for the dog according to:
- the owner’s training goals
- the owner’s experience in dog training
- the dog’s abilities, behaviour and disposition
- the owner’s time and physical constraints
- the dog’s motivation and learning style
The owner will come away with a great deal of information and advice, both written and verbal. Mary summarizes the session in writing including the suggested training programme, detailed instructions for training exercises and techniques, and resources such as websites, books and videos.
From the consultation, the owner and trainer can decide the best way forward to achieve success be it through follow-up sessions, private training, or completing a training course.
