evaluations

What is the evaluation? 

Our evaluations are always free and most of the time the trainer will come to your house at a scheduled time agreed upon by trainer and owner. This is not a training session unless the trainer feels the real issue is able to be helped during that time. The trainer will ask you what is the goal of getting dog training for your dog and you will be expected to answer and if you don’t know the trainer could help you figure that out. 

What to expect? 

The evaluation is up to one-hour time where the trainer will either come to your house and or depending on the need you come up to our facility. During this time the trainer will ask some basic questions about the dog, its environment, and more. You’ll do most of the talking and explaining to the trainer some of the issues you are having. This part of the evaluation will be purposed around the dog and seeing how they are in their natural environment. 

If you come to our facility, the trainer will still ask you questions and get as much information as possible to help determine what is going on with the dog. 

What the Evaluation is Not

This is not a training session. The trainer will not give out free sessions during this time unless it is something that is not hard to help with like potty training. This is not the time to pretend that things are okay with the dog, and or punish the dog when it acts the way it does in front of the trainer. 

What Happens at the End of the Evaluation? 

When the trainer has gotten enough information from you and seen the dog he will determine which way to go with training. This could look like private trainings in-home, private trainings at our facility, or a board & train. At this time, pricing will be discussed and then decide what you want to do going forward. We will never expect training to happen afterwards but the trainer will make sure that you have all the information to make a decision before going forward. 

If at any time during the evaluation you have questions for the trainer, that would be the time to ask them. We want you to feel completely comfortable with the trainer and the plan that is put in place going forward. 

I Need to Cancel or Reschedule, What Do I Do? 

We understand things happen and we respect your time and ours so if you could please give us at least 24 hours notice by either texting/calling 816-558-1607 or via message. If you choose to re-schedule and cancel that one again, the trainer reserves the right to not schedule another evaluation.
