LIVE Seminars & Webinars
Understanding how dogs navigate the world can be tough sometimes. Learning about dog body language, social skills and how we can best meet their needs is important to improving the quality of their lives and ours.
Do you live in a neighborhood with a lot of dogs?
OR
Do you live in an apartment complex where you need to navigate narrow passageways with your neighbors?
OR
There is just a lot of barking, lunging and growling happening on your walks.
Consider a LIVE seminar or webinar to ask questions and learn how to improve your dog’s behavior by understanding what they are trying to communicate.
Both In-Person & remote sessions are about 2 hours long.
Perfect for a community centered forum.
*pricing dependent on event details.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Step 1: Contact me to schedule a consultation
You can email plumpointpooch@gmail.com, or complete a contact form. Please share a good time to talk on the phone. A short phone call is mandatory prior to scheduling a training session.
Step 2: Talk on the phone
During our phone call, I will gather background information, discuss your goals, and schedule our session.
Step 3: Our training session
Our first session will start with an assessment to better understand your dog’s learning style and motivations. We will introduce protocols to have a positive, stress-free learning experience. You and your dog will learn new games and skills, improve your mechanics so your dog can understand what you’re trying to say. We will apply those games and skills to practical applications for daily living. Our session will be followed up with training notes and helpful handouts emailed to you 2-3 days after our training.
Step 4: Schedule follow-up training sessions
Based on your training needs, we can schedule follow-up training sessions or remote consults. Follow-up sessions are are typically scheduled no closer than two weeks apart.
