In Home Evaluations

Before we accept any dog into a training program we do a preliminary evaluation to assess the dog's temperament, health and problem behaviors so we can establish what programs are best suited for you and your dog.

The evaluation lasts approximately two hours and is done in your home or at a predetermined location such as a local park, dog park or your office. At this time you will receive an exact estimate of time and cost for the training program as well as become familiar with the training equipment we will use.

What does the evaluation consist of?

During the evaluation we will:

• Assess your dog's temperament and observations about it's behavior will be made so that we get a better picture of who he/she really is



• Talk about your dog's daily routine and environment and what affects these things may have on their behavior



• Discuss the reasons for the dog's problem behaviors and create a customized training program to address the specific needs of your dog



• Go over pricing for your personalized training program and explain what your involvement will be during the training process as well as ours.

Once your evaluation is complete you will have everything you need to make an informed decision about your dog's training. You are under no obligation of any kind but should you decide to sign up, we are equipped to enroll you in a program immediately. Since we are a highly personalized service, all appointments will be scheduled at your convenience and around your schedule.

How much does the evaluation cost?

In Home evaluations are $100.00 - $150.00 depending on territory, On Location evaluations are $75.00. If a program is purchased the day of the evaluation, the evaluation fee is waived. Please note that the evaluation fee is non-refundable if the client signs up at any later time or if the dog is human-aggressive.

Who should come to the evaluation?

We strongly encourage you to bring everyone in your family to the evaluation and anyone else who has regular interaction with the dog. You will learn a lot about your dog (and dogs in general) during the evaluation and it can be very beneficial to have everyone there to hear it first-hand. Of course, it is not always possible to get everyone on the same schedule, so at a minimum the person who is most familiar with the dog should attend. Oh, and don't forget the dog too!
