What to Expect During In-Home Training
Every session is tailored to you and your dog. Here's how it works.
- You can schedule just one lesson or ten — there are no minimum lesson requirements.
- Don't worry about how many dogs or people you have — the cost doesn't change.
- Please have your dog on leash when Terry arrives. Sessions can work inside or outside the home.
- Terry will spend the first few minutes talking with you and observing the dog before beginning.
- Every dog and client situation is unique — the approach varies accordingly.
- At the end of each session, you'll review discoveries and implement the strategies covered.
- Working with your dog daily and consistently will make them the best dog you've ever owned.
"Remember, training happens all the time."
