Follow-Up Training Session

Continue building on the foundation established during your initial training session with focused, one-on-one coaching for you and your dog.

This 45-minute in-person session is intended for existing training clients. We’ll review what has improved, identify where you may be getting stuck and adjust the training plan based on your dog’s progress. Because behaviour and learning can change between appointments, each follow-up is tailored to what you and your dog need at that stage—not a predetermined lesson.

A Follow-Up Session Can Help You

• Strengthen skills introduced during your initial session

• Improve consistency at home and in everyday situations

• Troubleshoot exercises that aren’t progressing as expected

• Work through new behaviours or challenges

• Add distractions, distance or duration to existing skills

• Improve your timing, handling and communication

• Progress to the next stage of your training plan

What We’ll Work On

We’ll begin with a brief progress update and discuss how training has been going between sessions. I’ll observe you and your dog working together, provide practical feedback and make adjustments where needed.

Depending on your goals, we may continue working on leash manners, recall, impulse control, calm behaviour, engagement, confidence, reactivity or household expectations. As your dog develops, exercises can be made more challenging and applied in increasingly realistic situations.

You’ll receive hands-on coaching throughout the session so you understand exactly what to practise and how to recognize when your dog is ready for the next step.

What You’ll Leave With

• Clear feedback on your current progress

• Refined techniques and handling skills

• Updated homework and priorities

• Practical solutions for current challenges

• A clear plan for what to work on next

Consistent practice between appointments is essential. Follow-up sessions provide the guidance, accountability and adjustments needed to keep training moving in the right direction.
