Service Description

A dog training evaluation is the first step in creating an effective training plan tailored to your dog’s individual needs. I visit you and your dog in your home or local environment to understand how they respond to everyday situations, stimuli, and any challenges they may be struggling with. During the evaluation, I observe both the dog’s and owner’s reactions, note any behavioural patterns, and identify the environmental factors contributing to the issues you’re experiencing. We also discuss important details such as allergies, quirks, routines, care instructions, and any unwanted behaviours your dog is displaying. You’ll have the chance to explain what you’ve already tried, what has or hasn’t worked, and what your goals are moving forward. The evaluation also covers your dog’s living environment, containment setup, daily structure, and any relevant veterinary considerations. This helps build a full picture of your dog’s needs and ensures the training plan is realistic, safe, and suited to your lifestyle. A key part of the process is helping you understand your dog’s behaviour, identify any skill gaps, and clarify the desired outcomes for both you and your dog. The evaluation also ensures the service is a good fit, giving you confidence that the approach, expectations, and training style align with what you’re looking for.
