PAWS IN HARMONY
Commonly Asked Questions:
What type of training do you offer?
I offer both private training and group classes. Private training can be divided into Private Coaching (in-person and virtual) and Day Training (in-person only).
What's the difference between Private Coaching and Day Training?
With Private Coaching, owners are involved in the training process. Owners learn how to read body language as well as skills to manage and train their own dog.
With Day Training, owners don't have to be part of the process. I do the work for you and show you how to upkeep what your dog has learned at the end of your package.
What can I expect in my initial consultation?
During your initial consultation, you can expect to go over a detailed questionnaire, which covers topics such as your dog's complete history, current struggles and goals. From there, a personalized training plan will be developed to fit your lifestyle.
How long will my session last?
The initial consultation typically lasts between 60-90 minutes.
Training sessions typically lasts 60 minutes.
How long will it take to train my dog?
The length of training depends on a lot of factors, including the dog's age, the length of time the behaviour has been present, how much time owners are able to commit to training, and the severity of the behaviour. Complex behaviours, such as anxiety and reactivity take longer than simple behaviours, such as loose leash walking and recall.
Do you work with all dogs?
I work with dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes. I specialize in high energy, herding dogs, specifically the Australian Shepherd.
What type of behaviours do you work with?
I work with behaviours, ranging from basic puppy skills to reactivity and aggression.
Which training methods will be used?
Fear free, positive reinforcement methods are use.
What is your experice?
I grew up with dogs, and have extensive hands on experience with training in performance sports as well as working through more complex behavioural challenges. In addition to hands on training, I have a Diploma in Canine Behavior Science and Technology and am a certified dog trainer through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.
