Thanks for selecting TRAINER FLYNN.
What is my usual process for working with a new "player" and their pet?
First, I typically have a phone consultation. This is a FREE 30 minute talk with the players to find out the basic info, wants, and needs of them and their pet.
Then, we'll set up your pet's skill and stats sheet in-person meetup; this 45 minute session lets me know more information, straight from the dog's mouth!
After this assessment, I'll present you with the 'game' and discuss the skills and goals, and how I can achieve it and an estimated number of private sessions. This game will include a cost. When you like the look of it, sign off on your contract and we'll book the sessions together.
I do not book sessions without the above steps.
Later this year, I will be able to test dogs for their Canine Good Citizen! Please read about that here.
