During this initial consultation we will either come to the owners home or they can come to our facility. While visiting with them and the dog we will get a chance to see how much training/rehabilitation the dog will need, as well as how much training the owner needs. It is possible that will bring a well socialized dog over to participate in the evaluation or have the owner demonstrate how they are currently handling their dog around other dogs. We will observe other animals or people within the household as well and possibly try to handle the dog ourself. At the same time, we will talk with the owner and try to understand what their long term goals are with regard to their dog, and how they will be able to help their dog reach this goal. The owner will be provided with information as far as what can be done immediately and at no further cost, as well as where the owner may find tremendous amounts of free content on the internet or in books that will help them train and socialize their animal. At the end of the consultation, we will let the owner know some options and what the cost will be.
