A friendly note to prospective clients:

 

To ensure high quality attention and service to each of my clients while working to protect everyone’s safety,  maintain an orderly flow for myself and my clients, and avoid overbooking for your sake and mine, I have implemented the following:

​

·Until further notice, on-location sessions, e.g., housecalls, may be selectively provided at my discretion to households where everyone is willing to N95 mask, maintain social distancing, and provide proper ventilation.  In some situations, masked outdoor sessions will be offered instead.

 

-For those who can't mask, private sessions are available via live video conferencing

​

·If during a live, private video conference session it becomes clear that a day training scenario (that is, where I train your dog for you) is needed, I may offer a drop off option, at my discretion. 

​

·As always, 24 hour notice of your need to cancel a session is the policy. Emergency changes or additions to the schedule may be considered if necessary.

​

·Availability and rates are subject to change at any time.

​

·I strongly encourage you to take your own notes during your sessions. Within about 24 hours after each session I will email any handouts, links, et cetera, referenced in the session, but your own notetaking is important to helping you retain what you learn in each session.  Please feel free to email me to ask any remaining questions about instructions given during the session at any time.

​

-To get started, please complete this form.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in achieving the best possible situation for yourselves and everyone else!  I look forward to working with you.

 

Warm regards,

Rain

 The Process of Becoming a Client

​

 1. Complete Case Consideration Form     2. Complete Client Agreement   3. Select Service & Pay Invoice     4. Schedule Your First Session

I do my best to respond to questions received from prospective new clients in a timely manner; however, it is impossible to properly serve my current clients while also fielding the large number of requests for phone calls or quick tips I receive. If you are committed to working with your dog and have questions about the process of beginning a program with me,  please email me with those questions. Email: Info@ExpertCanine.com

FAQ Excerpts:

What locations do you serve?

I serve clients nationwide/internationally, and of course locally.

​

What do you charge?

Rates vary depending on your needs, but plan to invest a minimum of $300.

​

What methods do you use?

I'm an anti-aversives professional, which means that I believe I must do everything possible to provide positive reinforcement and positive behavior modification services, avoid aversives, and help you to do the same. I refuse to use pain, force, intimidation, or fear on your dog in order to provide my services. 

​

Why hire a Behavior Consultant like yourself instead of a vet behaviorist?

Good behavior consultants do essentially the same behavior modification/training work as vet behaviorists. Aggression, anxiety, fear, phobias, reactivity, trauma, and feral dog behavior are all part of my behavior practice. Veterinarians and vet behaviorists do differ in that they are veterinary doctors so prescribe medication. If you want your dog to have psychoactive medication in addition to behavior modification/training, I can connect you with a vet behaviorist and the three of us will work together for you and your dog's needs--or, if your regular veterinarian is savvy about and stays updated regarding behavior-modification supportive medications, that may be an option for medication as well, and again the three of us will work together to help you meet your goals.  In most cases, you can save a lot of money using a well-educated and experienced behavior consultant for behavior modification and training.
