At For Paws we offer a range of in-home services for you and your dog. From simple obedience issues and puppy training right up to serious behavioral problems, we can help you out.

So what can you expect from a consult?

During your initial consult, we’ll review the issues you and your dog have been having, clarify the information you provided in the pre-consult questionnaire, address your concerns about your dog’s behaviour and help you understand the best techniques to improve these issues.

We’ll then get started on some training basics, give you guidance to implement some control and management strategies and, where time permits, put some of what we have covered into practice. We will then go over what your next steps will be.

Between the initial consult and your follow ups, we will be in contact to see how things have been going and answer any questions you may have. It’s also a great opportunity to send through any training footage you may have so we can give you feedback when necessary.

After the consult you will receive a individual plan/report.
