Consultations

WeiserWays consultations are unique and vital in order to sustain training in and out of our sessions. Consultations are mandatory before training. 

Our consultation is 90 minutes split into two sections: 45 minutes of Human Education and 45 minutes of getting to know you and your dog. Both sections as well as training sessions are done virtually via Zoom. 

The Human Education part of the consultation will focus on understanding the dog and human behavior by learning important dog behaviors and postures needed to better understand your dog. 

We also go over the human side of training and learning to pinpoint and understand our emotions since it is significant when working with our dogs. It allows us to stop, reflect on how we are feeling, understand our priorities, and heal, instead of taking our emotions out on our dogs. Weiserways believes that being introspective is vital to training. 

The second part of the consultation is all about the specifics you and your dog are looking to work on to build a stronger relationship. This is where I virtually meet your dog, we talk about management and training, and we work on a few exercises together. 

After the consult comes the observation period. This is where I ask you to observe your dog in every setting, write down what you see, and learn to decode your dog's behaviors and feelings. This is important because it is what makes training sustainable for you and your dog. I am here to teach you how to collaborate with your dog and form a stronger and more vulnerable bond with your dog.
