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: 60 minutes of Human Education and 30 minutes of getting to know you and your dog. Both the consultation and training sessions are conducted virtually via Zoom. 

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

We also go over the human side of training and learning to pinpoint and understand our emotions. 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 we talk about management, training, and enrichment plan. 

After the consult is 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 based on what you learned in the consultation. This is important because it is what makes training sustainable for you and your dog.
