FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Before I even meet your dog, I will ask that we have a one hour consultation meeting at a restaurant or coffee shop to discuss your needs. My consultation fee is $20. After our consultation, you can decide whether or not to use my services. If you do want to hire me, I charge $20/hour. I do not use a flat rate because every family is different. One family may only need me for a couple of hours while another may need me for several weeks. I want to give you the freedom to choose how much of my time you need.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Of course I absolutely love dogs and everything about them. From a young age I noticed I saw more potential in dogs than even their owners. One time I brought my own dog to a friend's house and using only a nod of my head I asked him to leave the kitchen area and he did. My friend's dog was also in the kitchen and he asked if I could get his dog out as well, and I did. He was so amazed, but I was not because I knew his dog was very intuitive and knew exactly what I was asking him to do. This is just one example, but people doubt their dog's abilities all the time. I want to change that perspective and unlock your canine's potential.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I would look for someone who cares about people just as much as dogs. There are lots of wonderful people out there who adore animals, but many of them have a hard time relating to other humans. It is important to find someone who is balanced, confident, and caring.
