Service Description

This assessment is essential to anyone with a dog suffering from problem behaviours. It is to assess and form a plan, but no training will be provided in this service. The goal is to create a training plan and set the environment up for training and the dog up for success. Not every dog needs an assessment. Send an email first to see if this is needed for your dog or not. This is especially important with fear-aggression cases. In the assessment we will discuss the behaviour background form filled in by yourself. I will get more background on your dog and their behaviours. You will be given a few, safe (for dogs and people), training exercises to perform (these will be stopped and not performed if the dog becomes uncomfortable or there is any risk they may be fearful/go over threshold). The assessment, based on the response to the exercises and history, will be provided and a training plan will be discussed. If the aggression is deemed too severe, referral to an appropriate veterinary behaviourist may be encouraged. If your dog has any behaviour problems a recent check-up with a veterinarian will be needed before any services will be provided.

Any cancellations with less than three days notice are NON-REFUNDABLE. A cancellation fee of 50% of the cost of the class/course is required for cancellation at any time. Classes are NON-REFUNDABLE 48 hours from the start of the class. Packages: all training packages are non-refundable once started. Packages must be completed within six months of starting. After this point, they are considered expired and cannot be held or transferred. Separation anxiety packages must be used within their designated four or eight-week periods. Rescheduling is subject to the fees above. All attempts will be made to reschedule within the time frames. However, if the client cannot reschedule within that time frame or refuses the fees to extend their service, their sessions are forfeited without a refund. It is considered services rendered if you do not appear for your scheduled training. You cannot be rescheduled at that point. Any clients appearing late to their training sessions will not receive extra time.
