A structured, in-person assessment designed to understand your dog, identify priorities, and define the most appropriate training path forward. This assessment is strongly recommended before serious training and required for behaviour-focused work. What this assessment is: It allows us to work safely, efficiently, and fairly: for you, your dog, and everyone involved. During this in-person session, we assess:

• Your dog’s behaviour, temperament, and working state Motivation,

• Arousal, and stress levels

• Training history and current routines

• Handling, environment, and real-life context

• Your goals and expectations as an owner

This is not a training session. It is a professional diagnosis and planning session. By the end of the assessment, you will:

• Understand what is limiting progress (and what is not)

• Know which issues are training-related vs behavioural

• Receive clear guidance on priorities and next steps

• Be advised honestly on the most appropriate training format

If training is recommended, we will explain:

• Whether short-term work is sufficient

• Or whether structured, ongoing training is more appropriate No guesswork. No pressure.

Training credit (important)
