Question 1

Are you an insured business and do you guarantee your work?

Accepted Answer

I guarantee you will see improvement in the consult and the dog happy to learn, so you know the methods will work for you after I leave . A long term reliable behaviour change is dependent on your repetition and consistency, but the method I show you to teach your dog is easy, not time consuming and gets relatively quick results . I offer lifelong support and advice after the consult and if a second visit were required for the same problem you will not be charged .(This has only been needed twice and both occasions the client admitted to not following the plan , the dogs did it perfectly when we did it according to the plan , but I did not charge them again )

Trained my first dog when I was 12 . Later I bought an abused and neglected rescue horse(had been beaten ) and rehabilitated her. She taught me the power of reward based training and the damage done by punitive methods .Always wanted to train assistance dogs so did the course and started getting calls for behaviour issues .

Question 5

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

They are all special one way or another . If I had to pick one , it would the dog whose owner cried during the consult when her very reactive dog chose to stay on its bed totally focused on me and not aggress to the people passing the gate only a few feet away ,after biting some one in the street and being put under a council order.

Question 6

What do you like most about your job?

Seeing my clients' happy proud faces when they how see how quickly their dog catches on and wants to work when trained using creative learning techniques .And seeing happy motivated dogs totally focused on owner and not at all interested in things that pre consult triggered reactive behaviour .

Accepted Answer

Are you qualified? What method do you use ? Exactly how will you train dog ? What tools will you use ?What happens when dog gets it right ?What happens when dog gets it wrong ?What follow up and support do you offer ?What resources will you give me?

Question 8

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

How will you train my dog ? and the answer is by teaching the dog to think not react , by teaching the dog 4 concepts that solve every problem you will ever have - disengage from trigger , focus on owner , proximity to owner is the best place, and value in staying in place - and doing this by way of fun and rewards so your dog couldnt care less about that distraction or trigger . They only care about what fun thing you are going to do next... .And how long will it take ? This is dependent on how often you do the techniques but my clients usually see a difference in the consult and say they have a different dog the next day. Reliable results are usually achieved within weeks . Catching and rewarding behaviour will get you a very fast result .
