onboarding session
We’d love to support you on your journey with your dog as a team! Onboarding sessions include a detailed interview to help us get an idea of your dog’s history, behavioral issues, and your goals as a team.
Training is not one size fits all, this time helps us determine what blend of services is best suited to your goals. f you have questions prior to booking, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us here!
We can explore any behavioral issue at any location- for example if your dogs barks only at home we do not need to see you at home to diagnose or help you resolve this issue. Think about which trainer is a better fit for you given your scheduling needs in the longterm. We recommend you stick with the same trainer for sessions you see for onboarding.
“Our trainer arrived for our initial assessment on time, and from the get go was very professional and it was quite obvious knew what they were doing. The assessment was very thorough, they asked me a lot of questions about Athena, what our set up was, what our schedule looked like etc. There was no feeling of being rushed which really helped me feel like we mattered as clients. After our assessment I was emailed me feedback about what my goals were for Athena, and it gave me a realistic outlook. They recommended a package of training sessions and was very clear about what to expect, meaning they didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear and that progress wouldn't magically happen overnight. I appreciate clear and honest communication with regard to expectations.”
