A Behavioral Snapshot of Your Dog

The trainer will observe your dog’s natural responses in a variety of controlled situations. This helps us identify not just what your dog does, but why they do it.

We assess:

Confidence levels, body language, stress signals, and coping strategies.

How your dog responds to new environments, sounds, and equipment.

Leash manners, focus, recall, and any red or yellow flags that may affect training.

This is the baseline so we know exactly where to begin and how fast to progress.

Understanding the Dog–Owner Dynamic

Every successful training plan requires both ends of the leash to work together. The Evaluation allows us to see how you and your dog interact in real time.

We look at:

How your dog responds to your cues and voice.

Your reward timing, reinforcement placement, and handling style.

Your comfort level and confidence during exercises.

This helps us tailor the training plan not only to your dog’s needs, but to your unique partnership.

A Custom Roadmap

Once we’ve seen your dog in action, we can give you realistic, personalized guidance. No guessing. No generic advice.

You will walk away understanding:

Which behaviors need the most focus and why they matter.

How long it typically takes to see improvement based on your dog specifically.

The exact classes, exercises, and homework that will drive measurable progress.

What success looks like in both the short term and long term.

Clients consistently say this clarity is what gets them motivated and helps them start their journey to success.
