THE PROCESS
1. Before I work with any dog, there will be an initial assessment which involves getting a detailed history from you about your dog, as well as an in-person assessment of your dog. An initial assessment for training issues is charged at a flat rate of £180 and normally takes around 2-3 hours.
All clients are given a 1-hour travel allowance, however distances over an hour’s total travel time from my home address (HP18) will be liable to travel charges at half my standard rate (£30) per hour travel time.

The initial assessment can be done virtually or in person (typically at your home) and payment will need to be made in order to confirm your booking.
2. Once payment has been made and your booking has been confirmed, there is nothing else you need to do!
3. During the assessment we will be working through a form where you will be asked a range of questions regarding your dog’s behaviour, diet, health and day-to-day schedules. There is also a practical part of the assessment which will help me get an idea of your dog’s temperament, motivation and intelligence, as well as your own handling skills. As we work through the assessment, you will be given advice for you to implement immediately.
4. If you decide to continue working with me following the assessment, we will then arrange a follow-up schedule of sessions to coach you through your dog’s undesirable behaviour(s). You will also gain access to ongoing support from me (normally via WhatsApp) during our time together.
Follow-up sessions are charged at £60/hour. Discounts offered for blocks of 3 or 6 hours!

5. Levelling up the relationship between you and your dog so you can co-op through life better!
If you are unhappy with me for whatever reason following the initial assessment, then you are not obligated to have any follow up sessions with me.
