Initial Session (2hrs)
Incl. 3 x Days of Support
This is what we do first. The initial session allows me to observe your dog and identify what makes them tick, in order for me to provide practical advice on the best way forward.
We sit down and have a relaxed chat about your goals and the behaviour issues you're facing with your dog. I explain how dogs learn, and how to communicate effectively with your dog.
I help you understand why your dog is behaving the way they are and I provide easy training tips and coach you through the process to reach success.
The initial session can take place in the comfort of your own home, or, you're welcome to come to WonderPaws HQ (Vermont 3133).
You'll be amazed how one session can make a big difference!
30min Online Consults
Online Consults are great for so many reasons...
They're great if you're time poor and can't commit to a 2hr face-to-face Initial Session. Or maybe you've just got a puppy, or rescue and need help & advice.
Or maybe we're a little too far afield from each other, in another state or country.
Online consults are an opportunity to 'get to know your trainer' before you consider a face-to-face session - the beauty of this also, is if you choose to book a face-to-face session, that session will be quicker because we'd have covered quite a lot of information together while online and already achieved some wins!
Tailored Programs
(2 or more 1:1 sessions)
Tailored programs are just that – tailored to your goals, and tailored to your dogs way of learning.
We'll meet face to face once a fortnight for approximately 75 minutes. I’ll show you demonstrations with your dog, then I hand the leash over to you and coach you through the techniques. At the end of each session, I'll update your homework book, and run through what we did. Then, it’s over to you till I see you again; but remember, I'm ALWAYS there for any support if ever you need me.
By the end of your tailored program, you’ll be in love your new skills and feel confident to continue training your dog... and... as a bonus, the relationship between you & your dog would have gone up a notch or two!
‘Just Me & Your Dog’
(A mix of me training your dog and 1:1’s)
This program is like a 'board & train'. Except your dog stays with you... at home!
This program is ideal for owners with busy lives who don’t have time to reach the basic foundaion of training. The training I do fastracks the levels of communication for obedience which will make life easier for you. Every session is recorded and uploaded to your private training plan where you have 24/7 access.
Based on the specifics of the behaviour modification training plan, the program can run for 2 or more months.
The 1st month is where I come to your home and train your dog for 1hr per day, for 4 days a week. On day 5 of each week I do a mini 1:1 ‘handover’ showing you what I've covered, so you can practice and keep the momentum going. You'll also have the videos to look back on!
After the 4 weeks are over, you and your dog will be showing success and you'll have the confidence to continue without me. I will pop back to make sure everything is ticking along nicely and to iron out any issues.
Therapy Dog Assessment
I'm honoured to be an authorised Temperament Assessor for Therapy Dogs Australia (TDA) to conduct assessments for new, or existing therapy dogs.
This works by us meeting face to face with your dog at
a designated location. I will assess your dog on many skills, such as being physically handled and how they behave with new people approaching them.
After the assessment, I complete and submit a report to TDA for their final review.
