Assessment
Each case begins with a behaviour assessment, here I will assess your dog in it's home environment (the pack). A series of observations will provide me with information about your dog, and his place within the pack. This allows me to establish a baseline of behaviour, and prescribe a program that will change and improve your dogs life, and more importantly, yours!
Program Selection
My assessment will determine which program will be suitable for your dog. Most dogs I assess will fit into one of the three programs I provide. There are some dogs who do require a more customized approach, this is a determination I will make at the time of the assessment. See Programs for more details
Learning Sessions
Throughout this process you will be under my direct supervision, learning first hand life changing, dog behaviour skills. This is a relationship building process that will teach you how to be 'differently' with your dog, and every other dog you choose to have in your life.
You will find that your dog adapts quickly to the behaviour training I provide, often within minutes of the first session. Humans however, require a little more time to make the changes necessary for the process to be successful.
My job is to teach you the skills required to create a new reality for you and your dog. Owners must be engaged, plugged-in, and committed to this learning process - if not, your dog will revert back to old behaviour patterns.
Moving Forward with Success
You dog may not be 'cured' upon completion of the program. He will however, be well on the road to a new reality. During the program, owners will have learned the skills necessary to maintain and improve their dogs new behaviour.
All clients of Natural Dog receive unlimited phone and email support to ensure success.
Success is measured individually with each dog. I guarantee an improvement in your dogs behaviour only if the plan I provide is followed correctly. There is no 'silver bullet' or 'quick-fix', and some dogs may require more than the scheduled sessions.
