Home Visit Training is primarily an owner-guidance service.
During the session, we observe the behaviour, identify what is happening, demonstrate the appropriate training direction, and show you concrete methods for responding to and guiding your dog.
We practise the method together with you so that you understand not only what to do, but when to do it, how to respond, and how to remain consistent in everyday situations.
Most of the actual training happens after we leave.
The owner is responsible for repeating the same methods, expectations, and reinforcement consistently in daily life. Behaviour changes through repetition, so what happens between the training sessions is extremely important.
This means Home Visit Training requires significant involvement from the owner. You need to be prepared to notice the relevant situations, respond in the way we have demonstrated, guide the dog consistently, and repeat the training day after day.
If different family members respond differently, the training is only followed occasionally, or the old behaviour continues to be unintentionally reinforced, progress can become much slower or inconsistent.
