Let’s get to know you and your dog as a team

Start with a complimentary one hour interview with the trainer of your choice. This is not a commitment to buy anything, nor does your dog need to wow us with great behavior. In this one hour interview we’ll explore your dog’s history, your life together, and your main training goals. We may do some behavioral testing. Afterwards you’ll receive a an email outline options of what services we think would be best to help support you and the areas where you are feeling stress with your dog.

Questions

  • Training is not one size fits all, we want to get to know your situation. Evaluations are an hour-long meeting and include:

    • Trainers Evaluation of behavioral issues and or areas of improvement/ development 

    • Hands on assessment of dog, including work with demo dogs may be included if in person (Not Applicable to Virtual)

    • Helping you determine exactly what your goals are, and what’s reasonable to expect given your dogs age and breed

    • Personalized followup email with recommendations of what to expect from each program and what we think will best help you achieve your goals. We include a range of options so you can consider your budget

    • Brief training advice for next steps to prep your dog for working with us

  • We’d love to see them both! If you’d like to check on a spot with a little extra time email us at info@caninecomprehensive.com

  • No! We don’t need to see a behavior demonstrated where it happens. If your dog barks at home, we’re still fine to evaluate you at our facility or virtually.

    As trainers, we generally don’t want to have your dog continue to rehearse negative behaviors. The more times your dog rehearses something, the harder it will be for us to resolve.

  • We recommend choosing the trainer whose schedule works best for you long-term. While we do share clients at times, we’d love to keep you with one person for continuity.
