In dog training, the German word umwelt reminds us that love is not about seeing the world from our perspective alone, but instead aligning with our dog's unique perception of the world. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said, 'Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.' When we embrace our dogs' umwelt, we truly share that common direction.

Step One

The Vibe Check

Unlock Your Dog’s Potential with a Free Consultation!

Start your dog’s training journey with a personalized, no-cost virtual consultation designed to set you and your furry friend up for success. During this initial vibe check, we'll dive into your goals, discuss my unique, humane approach, and set clear expectations for what lies ahead. Together, we’ll assess the suitability of your case, explore tailored training options, and arrange for your in-home or virtual assessment.

I’ll also address any safety concerns, outline emergency management plans, and ensure we’re all on the same page for a comprehensive and confident start to your dog’s transformation. Let’s connect and begin building a stronger bond with your best friend!

Step Two

In-Home Assessment

Kickstart Your Dog’s Transformation with a 90-Minute Assessment!

Take the next step with a thorough 90-minute in-home assessment, where we’ll lay the groundwork for your dog’s personalized training journey. We’ll start with an in-depth discussion about your goals, challenges, and lifestyle—just you and me—so I can tailor a plan that meets your family’s needs and your dog’s unique personality.

During this time, please have your dog comfortably secured in another room, crate, or fenced backyard to keep them relaxed and focused.

In the second half, I’ll interact with your dog, observe their behavior, and demonstrate how quickly they can learn with my fun, effective techniques. This hands-on experience will give you a glimpse of the positive changes ahead. Be sure to have your dog’s favorite small, healthy treats ready—I’m eager to help you and your pup thrive!

Step Three

Tailored Training Plan

Your Dog’s Transformation Starts Here!

After your in-home assessment, we'll review my recommendations together to ensure they align perfectly with your goals and your dog's needs. This is where you’ll choose the ideal coaching plan to support your dog’s learning journey. Whether it's a series of in-home sessions, virtual coaching, field trips, or even happy visits to the vet, each plan is designed with your dog's well-being and your family's lifestyle in mind.

We’ll work together to schedule your sessions at convenient times, ensuring consistency and progress. You’ll also receive detailed guidance and support throughout the process, with adjustments made as needed to keep your dog’s development on track. Booking your tailored training service is a significant step toward creating a harmonious, happy relationship with your dog.
