Transformational Coaching
My consultations are where I come to you… an in-home assessment. To assess the temperament of the dog, the environment, the human/dog relationship and to look at any specific behavioural issues. I then offer coaching on how to enhance the connection and effectiveness owners have with their dogs. Often many behavioural issues can be rectified simply through a relationship shift, where confidence and accountability are clear and consistent.
My focus is on “transformational coaching” rather than “transactional” training. Simply put, transactional training is where a trainer puts their focus on the dog and shows you how to go through a series of exercises - there is a transaction that takes place. With transformational coaching, a deeper understanding and connection between you and your dog occurs. My focus is to help transform the dog/owner relationship. My clients gain a greater understanding of the capacity their canine companion has for change. This model is much more effective when approaching behavioural modification.
Sometimes I will recommend, or clients may request, further assistance. This is required when either the client and/or dog would benefit from implementing more advanced tools and techniques. This is achieved through either a board-and-train or participation of my pack training days. This will be discussed at the time of consultation if this is an option I think appropriate.
