Client Consultations
Our client consultations allow us to learn about your goals and your dog’s unique needs in order create a personalized training plan for lasting success.
We place a strong emphasis on evaluating each dog’s suitability for training and future work. That’s why we utilize the American Kennel Club Temperament Test (ATT) as part of our assessment process. This nationally recognized evaluation measures a dog’s stability, confidence, and reaction to common real-world situations, helping us determine their strengths and areas for growth. By incorporating the ATT, we ensure that every training plan is built on a solid understanding of your dog’s natural temperament, setting them up for lasting success in both daily life and advanced roles.
​
Our client consultations are the first and most important step toward creating a successful training journey. During this one-on-one session, we take the time to get to know you and your dog — discussing your goals, challenges, and lifestyle while evaluating your dog’s behavior, temperament, and current skill level. This allows us to design a personalized training plan tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re working on basic obedience, addressing problem behaviors, or preparing for advanced training. Consultations also give you the chance to ask questions, understand our balanced training approach, and learn what to expect throughout the process. By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with clarity, direction, and confidence in the path forward for you and your dog.
