You will also receive a Welcome Folder to help you get started.

Discovery Call

Not sure where to start? Let’s talk it through.

A Discovery Call is a free 10–15 minute phone conversation to help you decide if our services are the right fit for your needs. We’ll briefly discuss your dog’s behavior, your goals, and what kind of support you’re looking for.

 

This isn’t a training session — it’s a chance to ask questions, get clarity on what to expect, and determine which service makes the most sense for you and your dog.

 

Whether you’re dealing with a specific behavior concern or just want to make sure you’re headed in the right direction, we’re happy to point you toward the next step.
