Behaviour Consultation Pledge


Red Dog Training's Responsibilities:

- To prepare appropriately for the consultation visit;

- To listen to you in order to gather necessary information about

the problem(s) you are facing;

- To use professional judgement, expertise and experience to decide

upon appropriate strategies to help you and your dog(s);

- To clearly explain what behaviour modification or training strategies

are suggested, and why they are suggested to you;

- To answer any questions you may have to the best of our ability;

- To make it clear that behaviour modification is not a ‘quick fix’; it will

require commitment and changes to be made on your part

in order to bring about change in your dog(s);

- To offer ongoing support, in line with the service(s) for which you

have paid (additional follow-up support may be purchased – see website

or ask for more details).



Your Responsibilities:

- To be open and honest in providing information to

assist us in understanding the problem(s);

- To ask for clarification if anything which is explained to you is unclear;

- To have an open mind with regard to potential solutions,

changes and strategies;

- To commit to agreed behaviour modification strategies and make

any necessary agreed changes in order to help resolve the problem(s)

you are experiencing with your dog(s) and to understand that behaviour modification is not a ‘quick fix’;

- To try your best to ensure that everyone regularly involved with

your dog(s) understands and engages in the process in order

to avoid confusion and conflict;

- To avoid introducing alternative training or behaviour modification

methods (such as those picked up from TV, books, friends or other trainers)

in order to avoid confusion and conflict;

- To ensure proper supervision of your dog(s) at all times.

This includes ensuring that any interactions between your dog(s)

and a third party (including your family and any other pets)

are safe for both the dog(s) and the others involved.
