- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Interested dog parents are encouraged to start with a free phone consultation with a trainer, or they can directly sign up for Varsity on our website, then schedule a set-up call. You can select the best day and time for us to call you at Calendly /tractiondtc/consult. During the phone consultation, we'll create a custom training plan, talk through the training methods that may make sense for your dog, and send you an onboarding package if you opt to move forward. Once you've reviewed our training agreement, we'll set up training sessions according to your family's schedule.
