FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a very fair price and do not sell packages because I never know how many sessions it will take or how many the client will want to engage in. I usually ask customers to commit to 3 and then at the third we discuss where we want to go. I don't offer discounts because my standard price is on the lower end for my qualifications. I want to help people and focus more on staying marketable and affordable than to charge more.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with free phone consultation to determine your needs and discuss the plan and my approach. Then I schedule the initial session that lasts about 90 minutes. I go over 10 Rules that I help the customer to implement. They are flexible and each client can adapt them as they wish but they start the process of establishing leadership in their home. This has been a huge game changer and sets me apart from other trainers who either give huge packages with overwhelming information or ones who give nothing. They are laminated and it comes with a door placard they can also use. I also evaluate the dog giving the client some of the reasons for behaviors they are seeing and I also give tools to start working with that very first session!
