WORKING WITH YOU,
THE HUMAN
WHERE DO WE START?
All client, dog, trainer relationships begin with an initial consult.
This is a 90-minute session (approx. 2 hours for multi-dog homes), conducted in-person, at your home.
We'll delve into your dog's history and personality, discuss your challenges and concerns, your trainer will make some initial assessments based on your environment, how your dog chooses to interact/participate in the session, and the information you provide. This is then followed with helping you to establish some clear goals for training with a plan for moving forward.
Proud Paws will also provide you with some immediate recommendations and starting points, as well as a set of follow-up notes, in order to relieve stress, ease prominent difficulties, spark motivation and get you set up on the right track from Day 1!
​
*It's important that you are prepared to make potential changes to your dog's walking equipment, routine, diet, environment and to your own daily habits for progress to be made.
​
CONSULT RATE: $225
WHAT COMES NEXT?
Investing in the best dog trainer means investing in your and your dog's learning and therefore your future together!
​
This takes commitment, with the biggest and best benefits coming from enrolling in a training 'package'.
Some of these packages have been formulated for the most commonly occurring behavior challenges, tried and tested and therefore generally pre-set to appropriately meet the needs of you and your dog(s).
Where necessary however, packages will be customized specifically for addressing your individual and unique set of goals.
The length of your package, i.e. the number of sessions, will be determined in your initial consult based on what you would like to achieve. In all cases, you can be sure you will receive a personalized touch, honest consideration of your circumstances and acknowledgement of your dog's quirks and nuances.
For the length of your training package we will meet weekly, for approximately one hour per session, at a consistent and agreed upon scheduled time, getting it handled and on the calendar!

DO I GET GUARANTEED RESULTS?
Just as a veterinarian cannot guarantee a particular health outcome, your trainer cannot guarantee a behavior outcome.
When working with animals and humans, there are many variables at play, including your environment, the animal's genetics, your pace of learning, your commitment to the training process and the work that you do with your dog in between coaching sessions. Behavioral and emotional needs will also change and evolve with your dog's age, social experiences, health and with any significant lifestyle alterations.
What can be guaranteed is the Proud Paws Dog Training pledge to training methods that are free from fear, pain and force, a personalized dedication to your learning and preparedness and a dramatic increase in the probability of a highly desirable training outcome.
