We designed our free consultation to be relaxed, informative, and focused on your dog's specific needs. Here's exactly what happens from start to finish.
Schedule Your Free Consultation
Call us at (616) 935-6815 to book a time that works for you. We're flexible with scheduling and can often fit consultations in quickly—including same-day appointments if needed.
What you need: Just your availability and your dog's name.
The Consultation Itself (30–45 Minutes)
We'll spend time getting to know you and your dog in a calm, conversational setting. Here's what we cover:
- Your dog's background: Age, training history, any past behavioral concerns
- Current challenges: What brought you in (jumping, pulling, reactivity, puppy socialization, etc.)
- Your goals: What success looks like for you and your family
- Direct observation: We'll watch your dog's behavior and body language to assess temperament and training readiness
We Explain Our Approach
We'll walk you through how positive reinforcement training works and why it's effective for your dog's specific situation. No jargon—just clear, practical explanations of how we'd approach their training.
This is your chance to ask questions and make sure our philosophy aligns with what you're looking for.
Training Recommendations & Pricing
Based on your dog's needs and your goals, we'll recommend the right training path—whether that's group obedience classes, private in-home training, a board-and-train program, or a combination.
We'll discuss realistic timelines, program duration, and transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
No pressure: This is a consultation, not a sales pitch. You'll have time to think it over before committing.
Next Steps
If you decide to move forward, we'll schedule your first training session or class and answer any remaining questions. If you need time to decide, we'll send you a summary of recommendations via phone so you have everything in writing.
Either way, we're here to support your dog's journey.
What to Bring
- • Your dog (on a leash or in a carrier if very anxious)
- • Any treats or toys your dog loves (we may use them during observation)
- • Notes on any past training or behavioral incidents (helpful but not required)
- • Questions or concerns you want to discuss
What to Expect Afterward
- • A personalized training plan tailored to your dog and goals
- • Clear pricing and program options to review
- • Honest timeline for behavior change (we won't promise overnight miracles)
- • Ongoing support once training begins
A Few Things to Know
You're not alone. We work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and training backgrounds. Whatever brought you here, we've helped many dogs in similar situations.
There's no judgment. Dogs aren't "bad"—they just need guidance. We focus on solutions, not blame.
It's truly free. The consultation is completely free with no obligation to book training. We want to earn your trust.
Questions are welcome. Ask about our training philosophy, credentials, pricing, or anything else. An informed client is a confident client.
