How It Works

STEP 1: SELECT YOUR STARTING POINT

Option 1: If you’re unsure if we are a good fit or even where to get started, schedule a Free Discovery Call

In this 15-minute call, we’ll take the time to discuss your dog’s specific challenges and your training goals. I’ll help you understand how I’d approach your issues and together, we’ll determine if my training methods are the right fit for you and your dog. No pressure, just a conversation to see how we can build confidence and calm, one step at a time.

Option 2: Schedule an Initial Consultation

Start here if you’re unsure you're ready for the full training process. All new clients start with a 90-minute initial consultation where we cover your dog’s history, concerns, and goals. After your consultation and each subsequent session, you will receive a follow-up including actionable, personalized training plans and resources to support your learning journey.

Option 3: Schedule a Package

Choose a package if your dog has multiple issues to work through. Packages include the 90-minute initial consultation, followed by additional 60-minute sessions (the number of sessions varies on the package).

Mutual Aid Fund: Supporting Every Dog Parent

At Dog’s Choice, we believe every dog—and every dog parent—deserves access to compassionate, effective training, regardless of financial circumstances. Our Mutual Aid Fund is a community-driven resource designed to help bridge financial gaps so you can receive the support you need.

OUR MISSION

Our Mutual Aid Fund is built on the principles of shared responsibility and community care. When you're able, you can contribute a little extra to help another dog parent access our services. This collaborative model allows us to create an inclusive space where every member of our community can grow and thrive.

HOW IT WORKS
  • For Clients:
    When booking our services, you’ll notice a few extra questions at the end of our history form. These questions help you share if you’re facing any financial challenges so that we can understand your situation. Based on your responses, our Mutual Aid Fund may step in to assist—covering part or all of your fees—ensuring you can access the training you need.

  • For Supporters:
    If you're in a position to contribute, we invite you to support our community by making a voluntary donation through our dedicated Donorbox page. Your generosity empowers more dog parents to receive the help they need, creating a cycle of shared care and empowerment.

Your extra contributions help create a cycle of support within our community, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to move from reactive to calm and confident.

OUR COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY
  • Separate Account: All contributions to our Mutual Aid Fund are collected through our dedicated Donorbox page and managed in a separate account from our primary business funds. This ensures complete transparency and that every donation is allocated solely to support those in need.
  • Clear Allocation: Funds are allocated exclusively to assist clients in need. As our program evolves, we look forward to sharing highlights and anonymous success stories that illustrate its impact.
  • Confidentiality Assured: All requests for assistance are handled discreetly to ensure your privacy and dignity.
JOIN OUR COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT

Our Mutual Aid Fund is more than a financial resource—it's a commitment to building a community where every dog parent feels seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you're contributing or receiving, you're playing an essential role in creating a space where we all can grow.

If you have any questions about the Mutual Aid Fund or need help with your application, please reach out to me at rachael@dogschoice.com. Together, we can ensure that every dog parent has the chance to experience a more calm and confident life with their canine companion.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. HOW DOES REMOTE TRAINING WORK?

Remote dog training sessions are conducted via video conferencing using Zoom. During these live, interactive sessions, I will guide you step-by-step as you train your dog in real time. You will receive personalized advice, demonstrations, and feedback tailored to your dog's unique needs. Each session will be recorded and included in your training plan, which will be emailed to you afterward. This allows you to re-watch specific parts or share the recordings with others in your household.

2. IS REMOTE TRAINING AS EFFECTIVE AS IN-PERSON TRAINING?

Absolutely! Remote training focuses on coaching you to communicate effectively with your dog. Because dogs learn best in their home environment, remote training can actually reduce stress and lead to faster progress. Plus, you’ll develop skills to handle challenges long-term. As we say, it doesn’t matter if we can get your dog to do something; it only matters if you can.

3. What kind of issues can remote training address?

Remote training is ideal for a variety of challenges, including:

  • Reactivity to people, dogs, or other triggers
  • Separation anxiety
  • Leash pulling or jumping
  • Basic obedience and manners
  • Confidence-building for shy or anxious dogs

We will discuss your specific behavior issues during your Initial Consultation.

4. What's involved in behavior modification?

A behavior modification journey involves much more than simply training your dog. It requires time and effort from all members of the household; the humans play an essential role in the process alongside the dogs.

Your dog behavior training will include several components: gathering history, thorough discussions with me to create a sustainable plan, management strategies, education, and skill-building for both you and your dog.

We will break down more challenging techniques into smaller, manageable steps and build upon skills that have already been learned. This approach will help everyone learn effectively. We will meet you where you are in your training journey and proceed at a pace that is comfortable for both you and your dog, ensuring your success.

6. Will I need to do homework between sessions?

Yes, practice is key to success! After each session, you’ll receive clear, step-by-step instructions to continue working with your dog. Don’t worry—I’ll provide all the guidance and resources you need as well as between session check-ins and support.

7. What if I’m not tech-savvy?

No problem! I’ll help you get set up before your first session and make sure you feel comfortable using the video platform. If you ever run into issues, I’m just a message away.

8. How long will it take to see results?

Every dog and situation is different, but many clients notice positive changes after just a few sessions. Consistency and practice are key, and I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure progress.

9. What makes force-free training different

Force-free training uses science-backed methods that emphasize kindness, trust, and understanding. Instead of punishment, we focus on rewarding desirable behaviors and building a strong, positive relationship with your dog.

10. Can I train more than one dog at a time?

Yes! If you have multiple dogs, we can create a plan to address their individual needs while helping them work together. Let’s discuss this during your Initial Consultation to ensure the sessions are tailored for success.

11. How do I get started?

It’s easy! Just click here to schedule your Initial Consultation. I’ll talk about your goals, answer any questions, and create a personalized training plan that fits your lifestyle.

12. I don't know if I'm ready to start.

No worries! This is true for many folks starting out. Sign up for our upcoming workshop, Calm & Confident: Overcoming Reactive Dog Behavior and check out our Resources page.

Or, you can also book a discovery call if you need guidance on where to get started!
