COPYRIGHT 2022 GLOBAL K9 SERVICES, LLC
You have taken the first step toward having a well-trained and obedient dog. I am confident that you will find the training to be both enjoyable and beneficial. Private "one-on-one" sessions are the most effective type of training because you can be free of unwanted distractions and can schedule training time to suit your own agenda. I work with you and your dog to design a training program that fits your own personal needs along with your dog's preference of learning. My policy is to teach the owner as well as the dog, which gives you a better understanding of how dogs learn and how to motivate the dog to work for you. I will introduce the particular exercises to the dog and then teach you how to reinforce and further expand this learning curve.
All of Global K9's programs include the following:
TRAINING HANDBOOK & GUIDE
UNLIMITED TELEPHONE or EMAIL CONSULTATIONS
TRAINING PROGRESS JOURNAL
GROUP “POLISHING” CLASSES (when available)
NEW DOG OR PUPPY INTRODUCTION: $150.00
This is an intensive session including: housebreaking, teething, nipping, jumping, excessive barking and whining, diet and exercise, tethering, yielding, the importance of crating and setting limits, dogs and children, and addressing common problem behaviors. This session will take about two hours and it is recommended that everyone involved with the dog be present.
EVALUATION & CONSULTATION SESSION: $100.00
I begin all new clients and dogs with this initial session which will require about two hours. It is conducted in your home to allow me to observe the dog's living environment and client/family/dog interaction. I strongly suggest that you make a list of all questions and concerns that you wish to address. It is imperative that both you and your dog be prepared to listen and learn (see protocol). The dog should be crated or calmed for at least one hour prior to the session.
The E&C session is specifically designed to evaluate the existence - or likelihood - of behavior problems (and the probability of their resolution through a relevant training program) and to determine your specific wants and plans for your dog. While you complete an extensive questionnaire I will conduct a series of exercises with your dog to give me an understanding of his temperament or "attitude" and, most importantly determine what his primary and secondary drives are.
Upon completion we will discuss your responses and what I have observed. Suggestions will be given regarding any specific behavioral issues; simple "lifestyle" changes might be recommended, and - based on what you wish to do with your dog - a training program will be designed. There will be some leash work done with the dog and homework for the following week detailed.
