K9 Revamped Training Consultation Personalized behavior evaluation and training roadmap

This comprehensive one-on-one consultation sets the stage for a customized training journey tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether you’re starting fresh with a puppy or managing behavioral challenges in an adult dog, this session delivers clarity, structure, and actionable direction.

We'll assess your dog’s current behaviors, environment, and temperament to understand emotional triggers, reactivity, anxiety, leash habits, and social tendencies. Through observation and discussion, we’ll identify root causes and build a path forward that suits your lifestyle and goals.

• Behavior Evaluation: Real-time observation of your dog’s habits and responses
• Environment Review: Crate setup, feeding routines, enrichment practices, and social exposure
• Training Plan: Personalized program suggestions, short- and long-term goals, plus foundational techniques you can implement right away
• Handler Education: Guidance on leash pressure, hand cues, body language interpretation, and impulse control

We follow a balanced approach that blends positive reinforcement, fair corrections, and structured behavior modification—always with respect and clarity. Our goal is to promote calm, focused, and confident behavior through repetition and trust-building techniques.

Follow-up sessions are recommended to continue progress, refine techniques, and ensure consistent growth.
