LIVE Seminars & Webinars
It can be hard to understand how dogs see the world. Learning their body language and social skills, and how to meet their needs, is key to enhancing their lives and ours.
Do you live in a neighborhood with a lot of dogs?
OR
Do you live in an apartment complex where you need to navigate narrow passageways with your neighbors?
OR
There is just a lot of barking, lunging and growling happening on your walks.
Consider a LIVE seminar or webinar for your group, organization or community to ask questions and learn how to improve your dog’s behavior.
Both In-Person & remote sessions are about 2 hours long.
Perfect for a community centered forum.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Step 1: Contact me to schedule a consultation
You can email plumpointpooch@gmail.com, or complete a contact form.
Step 2: Schedule our consultation: either remote or in-person
I will email you a link to schedule our consultation and complete an intake form. Depending on your dog’s training & behavior needs, we will either conduct our first session virtually or in-person.
Step 3: Our training session
Our first session will start with an assessment to better understand your dog’s learning style and motivations. We will introduce protocols to have a positive, stress-free learning experience. You and your dog will learn new games and skills, improve your mechanics so your dog can understand what you’re trying to say. We will apply those games and skills to practical applications for daily living. Our session will be followed up with training notes emailed to you 2-3 days after our training.
Step 4: Schedule follow-up training sessions
Based on your training needs, we can schedule follow-up training sessions or remote consultations. Follow-up sessions are typically scheduled no closer than two weeks apart.
