Additional Information.

Package One includes everything you need to get started, plus four follow-up support sessions to keep you on track.

Your initial online video consultation includes a detailed analysis of your dog’s particular play and/or social skills issue. We’ll discuss your goals and how best to achieve them.

You’ll receive a recording of your consultation so you can refer back to it as often as you like. You’ll also receive any relevant handouts, training plans, and videos to assist your training.

Plus, for each follow-up you’ll receive:

  • 20-minute online meeting to discuss your progress, answer any questions and discuss any difficulties with the training
  • Relevant video reviews of your training or dog’s social interactions
  • Updated plan to move you forward towards your goals

Professional support is a major factor in the success of working through your dog’s issues. It’s one thing knowing the cause of them, issue, but quite another to work through them. Having support from a professional, and those in a similar situation can make a huge difference to your success. This package gives you up to six weeks of one-to-one support where you can discuss any questions or concerns.  Sometimes, all you need is a bit of cheerleading to let you know that you are heading in the right direction. However, changing behaviour is rarely a straight road. If you hit a bump or aren’t sure about something, your online support sessions will ensure that you’re quickly back on track.

This package ensures that you have support every step of the way.

After booking Package One, you will be sent an email with a link to a questionnaire so that you can tell me about your dog and the problems that you are experiencing. This helps me to prepare for our online meeting.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions.

We need to define what you mean by ‘social’. 

It is unfair to expect a dog who is shy to hang out with rowdy, robust players.

With the correct diagnosis, we can ensure that your dog mixes in the right social groups for them. 

When your dog is comfortable with the social situations that they are exposed to, they will not need to respond in an anti-social manner.

Firstly, it is not ethical to deliberately trigger a dog into acting in an antisocial manner. Both for the welfare of your dog and for those around.

Dogs are skilled communicators, and their social behaviour is predictable in similar circumstances.  In order to resolve your dog’s issues, the important factors are identifying their triggers, their play style, and how comfortable they are in different situations.  

The answer to this question is fundamental to the training. We spend a lot of time ensuring that we have the correct diagnosis.

Sometimes the answer is clear, but sometimes we need to do a bit of detective work.

This is a very common issue, particularly if your dog has had squabbles in the past, or you have had run-ins with other owners.

Once you have learnt about your dog’s play style or social skills issue, you will have the confidence to make the best decisions in various situations.

On-going support is vital. Guardians who take advantage of the support available, particularly that of the Wag and Wrestle Community, generally have more successful outcomes.

First and foremost, you must always ensure the safety of others, people and dogs.

If your dog has caused injury, they may have what is referred to as poor bite inhibition. Your dog must wear a muzzle if there is any possibility that they could bite a person or another dog.
