Why the first session should be at your house.
The dog acts differently at home than at a training facility. Environmental, household, and management factors drive most behavior cases, and you can't audit them from a video call.

Handler how tos
Prep your home for the consult
- 1Write down the three behaviors that matter most. Be specific: 'lunges at men in hats on Tuesday walks', not 'reactive'.
- 2Video the problem behaviors in advance. You won't be able to reproduce them on demand.
- 3Gather every piece of equipment you've tried, collars, harnesses, leashes, head halters. We'll evaluate them.
- 4Don't pre clean or pre stage the house. We need to see how the dog actually lives.
- 5Have every adult in the household present. Inconsistent rules cause 80% of behavior issues.

Agency & handler FAQ
Common questions from pros.
What does the 90 minute consult actually cover?+
Environmental audit, household interview, dog assessment, written action plan, and equipment review. You leave with a multi page plan, not just verbal advice.
Is this a sales pitch for board & train?+
No. About a third of our consults result in DIY plans the owner runs themselves. We tell you what your dog actually needs, sometimes that's a $200 training book, not a $6k program.
Do you travel outside Los Angeles?+
Yes, Ventura, Orange County, and Inland Empire with a travel fee. We've also flown to client homes nationally for executive and high net worth placements.
What if I need ongoing help after the consult?+
Every consult includes a 30 day email follow up. From there, you can roll into private sessions or a B&T program. Consult fee credits toward any program within 60 days.
Who comes to the consult?+
A head trainer, never an apprentice. The first session sets the tone for the entire case.
