Virtual Consultations
for dog training and behavior

What are the benefits of phone and online consultations?
Live virtual sessions (hosted through Zoom) offers private dog training and behavior modification / instruction and consultations from the comfort of your own home. During virtual sessions, a professional dog trainer works with you to help you understand and train your dog to learn manners as well as solve behavior problems.

What kind of problems can you help me deal with?
Most training and behavior modification can be addressed through virtual sessions. What the problem is, why it is happening and how long it has been occurring, as well as what you are willing and able to do to resolve it will result in the number of sessions required. Common dog behavior problems like house training (potty training / house soiling), stealing, jumping up, destructive chewing, digging, running away, escaping doorways, fear/shyness and separation anxiety can be addressed in just a few sessions.

How long is each session?
Once you complete our Application for Training, our professional, certified trainer will evaluate your case and arrive at your virtual appointment with a plan for addressing the issues you have. Your initial training / behavior modification session is a required 30 minutes. However, 60 minutes is ideal as most clients feel more comfortable with the ability to explain in detail what the circumstances are and what they have tried in the past.

How can the trainer train my dog if they aren't at my home?
The trainer may demonstrate by attaching videos, or by demonstrating with a trained dog from the training facility. In this way, our visual learners can see what is needed to help the dog comply, while our auditory learners can hear what the trainer instructs. Kinesthetic learners will show the trainer (via the virtual video) what they are doing and the trainer can give clarity for improvements.

How long will it take for my dog to learn?
That depends greatly on your willingness and ability to perform the instructed training. In most cases, dogs learn very quickly. When you change, often so will your dog! Much like learning to prepare a meal, learning how to drive a car or learning any other skill, dog training is basically completing a series of steps. Once the dog trainer has evaluated your case, she will create a step by step process to help you resolving the problem.

In some cases, however, the dog or environment is not compatible and potentially dangerous. Through the use of real-time visual evaluation more serious issues may be identified. In this case, the session is limited to a consultation.

Do I have to fill something out?
Yes. You must complete our virtual Application for Training. In some cases, we may also require a complete physical exam by your veterinarian. This will be addressed by your trainer prior to your appointment.

Will the trainer work with my veterinarian?
We do work with your veterinarian to give information so he/she can make an accurate diagnosis. Our trainers are NOT veterinarians. Diagnosis of any physical problem must be made by your veterinarian.

Is your trainer a "behaviorist"?
No. Our head trainer has three decades of professional dog training and behavior modification experience and is highly recommended by veterinarians to address undesirable behavior. To be a "behaviorist" requires a veterinary degree in animal behavior, which our highly qualified trainers do not have.

Our head trainer has been helping clients resolve their dogs aggression issues since 1997. Check out her resume here (link).

Is it possible to search online for the solution to "my" dog?
Access to the volumes of information online is wonderful. However, disseminating what information is valuable (and in some cases harmful) for your dog is difficult without professional knowledge.

You'll find it very difficult to find a website or video on YouTube that has definitive answer for what YOU should do with/for YOUR dog. This is because every dog, owner, environment and dog behavior problem is different! Our trainers' job is to determine what the problem is and suggest the best ways for YOU to help your dog.

So what dog behavior problem can't you fix through virtual sessions?
Almost all problems can be solved through virtual sessions. In some cases, we may refer you to a trainer in your area, instead of phone or online consultations. This is because we feel your needs will be best suited by a trainer in your area. For example, some people have learning styles which are best addressed in person.

Additionally, while we will give an opinion on what to do with dog aggression, if you are not in The Woodlands, Texas, Spring, Texas, Harris County or Dallas, TX areas, we are unable to follow your case close enough to adequately assist you. Because aggression is widely misunderstood and misinterpreted, we do offer to assist owners with evaluating their own dog's basic temperament, skills, genetic background and abilities through virtual services.
