HOW TO GET HELP

 Pat's approach is based on years of observing and working with dogs and their owners. She has a solid understanding of how dogs think and behave and the common ways in which people often misinterpret canine behaviors. Her method is straightforward. She helps you figure out what your dog is doing and why. Then she guides you in communicating more effectively with your dog to achieve the desired behavioral changes

THE FIRST STEP    

Start by completing the simple questionnaire, giving as much information about your dog and your situation as you can. Be as complete and honest as possible.  

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

 Review and Discussion

Pat will review your questionnaire responses prior to the telephone consultation. When payment has been received, a convenient time for a telephone consultation will be scheduled. The initial telephone consultation is one hour. We will discuss in depth your dog’s issues and your interaction with him. And you'll receive recommendations.

 If an hour’s consultation is not enough to complete the discussion, you can opt to purchase additional telephone consultation time then, or schedule additional consultation time for another day at the rates shown below.

 Written Summary

After the consultation, Pat will prepare a written overview summarizing her understanding of your dog’s problems, and explaining her suggestions for modifying the inappropriate behavior. She may also recommend pertinent articles and/or books to read, including some she has written herself.

Follow-up E-mail Support

Following the initial consultation, you may have subsequent questions as you begin to work with your dog. You're welcome to submit related questions via e-mail for 60 days following the consultation. If your questions involve an extensive response, or if you have a high volume of questions, you may be asked to consider purchasing additional telephone consultation time so that Pat can respond more expeditiously to your questions.
