As with telephone coaching, we use this time to see how we both feel about working together. Remember - when hiring a trainer, you are making a commitment to your own success in shaping your dog's behavior. In the case of in-home training, we will do an initial telephone consultation. With this in mind, how can we expect a dog that is already having "issues," to be placed in a situation where they have not been able to establish a comfort level? How will he stay focused on the task of training? This is contradictory to the natural, instinctual learning process of the dog. For some dogs, this process will only take a few minutes. They will do this until they reach a level of comfort and security with their new surroundings. They will examine unfamiliar structures, sounds, smells, people and animals. The dog's nose hits the ground, and they start to explore. We've all seen the way our dogs act the first time they enter a new area, whether it's a friend's house or a park. Mass training classes are a great way for a trainer to make quick money, but is it really the smart way to do it? I don't think so.
Without individualized training, something can, and most likely will, be missed. Again, for me, it was a matter of integrity. I did at one time, but was left with the feeling that my students, both two and four legged, were not getting the attention they deserve. I often travel to clients' cities to help them with in-home training.Īt this time, I do not offer mass dog training classes at my facilities, or anyone else's. Christopher Aust, Master Trainer In-Home Training Y ou may wish to have personal in-home training with me, working personally with you and your dog.
