The best way to work with me?

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Before COVID, none of us ever dreamed of teaching dog training on-line.

"Sure, on-line is fine for games and cute courses, but real b-mod needs eyes and hands on!"

Turns out, we were wrong - hands down, no contest, my best results are from my on-line students.

But why? That doesn't make sense....

Until you think about it this way. yes, maybe I can provide better "this is what your dog needs" in the moment, while I hold the leash.

But in private lessons, you get this HUGE amount of info in an hour, maybe even watch me be successful with your dog or be instructed step by step, breath by breath through a tense situation.

.... and then I leave.

I go home or onto the next client, and you are left trying to remember everything, trying to implement the games in spite of changing environmental factors, and you might feel overwhelmed, alone, or even like a failure... it was so easy before.

And you're alone in your training now until you see me in a week, two weeks, or a month.

On-line, I can give you small amounts of work DAILY. If something is hard or just not working, you can ask for help TODAY.

Just like we talk about breaking skills down into achievable pieces for your dog, we need to break it down for you too.

On-line, you can relax in the safety of your own home. You can be at your mental and emotional best while we discuss new concepts or handling games. You can practice where you feel safe without distractions before going out in the world.

And that's what on-line training gives us.

If you're curious and have questions, book a free call so we can chat.​

Cheers,

You're going to make mistakes with your dog. Sorry for the foul language, but seriously, be nicer to yourself! You'll miss a warning sign. You'll push too far on a bad day. You'll look back and think I should have known better. And when it happens, that voice in your head will be merciless. Learning isn't linear. When we live with dogs with Big Feelings, progress is often three steps forward, one step back. That's normal. Setbacks don't erase all the hard work you've done. One rough day...
