You know something needs to change with your dog. Maybe walks have become a wrestling match, guests get jumped on at the door, or your dog knows “come” until something more interesting appears. But what actually happens when you contact a professional dog trainer?
In this episode of Dog Works Radio, Michele Forto explains what a strategy call with Alaska Dog Works really is and, just as importantly, what it is not. A strategy call isn’t a sales pitch or a free training lesson. It’s a focused conversation about what is happening with your dog right now, what your family wants to change, and what needs to happen next.
Michele also explains why everyone involved in the training decision should be part of the conversation. When one person wants change but another hasn’t heard the same information, training can stall before it even begins. The goal is to get the household working from the same plan and move from talking about the problem to actually addressing it.
If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to talk with a professional dog trainer, this episode will help you understand what to expect before scheduling that first call.
