What techniques does Amanda use?
Amanda uses positive reinforcement techniques based on the LIMA approach, avoiding harsher methods like shock or prong collars unless absolutely necessary. Most often, Amanda relies on positive reinforcement and negative punishment to shape behavior in a humane and effective way.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Amanda allows up to two reschedules with 24 hours’ notice. If you need to reschedule more than twice, further sessions may be forfeited to allow Amanda to work with other clients.
What Happens if I Haven’t Worked with Amanda in 6 Months or More?
If we haven’t worked together in six months, we’ll treat your training as a fresh start. This lets us address any new challenges, changes in your routine, and set new priorities. I’ll provide updated techniques that fit your current life, ensuring training stays simple and effective.
How Much Will My Dog’s Behavior Improve?
Results depend on your commitment to the training plan and open communication with Amanda. While Amanda guides you during sessions, lasting change happens with daily practice at home. Since dogs learn from their environment, it’s essential to reinforce new behaviors consistently.
Amanda provides the tools, but progress relies on your follow-through between sessions. Together, we can help your dog succeed!
Do You Offer Emergency Appointments?
Yes, emergency appointments are available for urgent situations. These can be scheduled for an additional $100 fee. If you need immediate assistance, please contact Amanda directly to arrange a session.
