Teach & Coach

I will be your one-stop consultant, in-person (locally) or by phone, to follow up on questions or concerns regarding eating, training, successful walking on a leash, etc., during the first 90 days after adoption.

I will coach you on a variety of tools and techniques, always focusing on positive reinforcement and customized to your situation, to ease anxiety or animal stress during the transition period. See the example on this page for how dogs can translate human behavior.

If you are located in Western North Carolina, I can provide additional training for families to successfully master basic obedience commands, using positive reinforcement techniques.

And I will create a written 90-day implementation plan to ensure both family and companion dog’s habits are well established, along with ways to clearly communicate with your dog, to enable successful assimilation of your newest family member!
