Individual follow-up
Online or at home follow-up - Oeiras, Cascais and the outskirts of Sintra.
Sessions in Portuguese and English.
Each dog is individual and has its own personality, for this reason each behavioural modification and education plan is personalized and adapted to the individual needs of each dog and family.
Initial Assessment
In the initial assessment session (both in behavioural therapies and initial and basic social education) will be addressed the history, learning and behaviour(s) in question, all family and environmental interaction, what are the objectives of the guardian, recommendations on daily management, in addition to fundamental exercises to teach.
Follow-up sessions
In the follow-up sessions, we will talk about the evolution of the behaviour in question and new exercises to be applied and/or taught.
In addition to the necessary demonstrations, I will guide the guardian through the exercises and provide the necessary knowledge to act with confidence when alone in everyday life.
The follow-up session is usually scheduled about 2 to 3 weeks after the initial assessment session (according to the dog's needs), to give the guardian and his dog time to adapt to the recommendations and new education/modification behavioural plan before we proceed with it.
Individual follow-up sessions can be scheduled (usually necessary) after scheduling the initial package to support and continue the behavioural modification plan.
Online follow-up
Online follow-up can be very effective, not always group classes or receiving a "strange" at home is the best option for certain dogs.
This type of follow-up and learning gives the guardian and his dog time and space to learn and evolve in their own time.
There are other methods to evaluate and modify your dog's behaviour without being in person and successfully!
Veterinary follow-up
Many health conditions (pain, hormonal or analytical disorders, among others) can contribute to behavioural problems or unwanted behaviours.
These conditions need to be evaluated by the Assistant Veterinarian before starting the behavioural modification sessions.
The contact between the Trainer and Veterinarian is crucial for the evolution of the behaviour in question.
