- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new customer as a dog trainer, my typical process involves several key steps to ensure that I understand their needs and goals and can develop a customized training plan for their furry friend. Here's an overview of my process: 1. **Initial Inquiry and Consultation:** The process usually begins with an initial inquiry from the customer, either through phone, email, or my website. I respond as soon as possible to schedule a phone call session. During this session, I take the time to listen attentively to the customer's concerns, goals, and expectations for their dog's training. 2. **Assessment:** I thoroughly assess the dog's behavior, temperament, and current level of training during the consultation. This may involve observing the dog's interactions with their owner, assessing obedience skills, and identifying any behavioral issues that need to be addressed. 3. **Goal Setting:** Based on the information gathered during the assessment, I work collaboratively with the customer to establish clear and achievable training goals for their dog. These goals may include basic obedience commands, behavior modification for specific issues, or specialized training for activities like agility or therapy work. 4. **Customized Training Plan:** Using the information gathered during the assessment and goal-setting process, I develop a customized training plan tailored to the dog's specific needs and the owner's preferences. This plan outlines the training techniques, methods, and timeline for achieving the agreed-upon goals. 5. **Training Sessions:** Once the training plan is in place, I schedule regular training sessions with the customer and their dog. These sessions typically occur at the customer's home or in another familiar environment where the dog feels comfortable and relaxed. During each session, I work closely with the dog and the owner to implement training techniques, provide guidance, and address any questions or concerns. 6. **Progress Monitoring:** Throughout the training process, I closely monitor the dog's progress and adjust the training plan as needed to ensure continued success. I provide regular feedback to the owner and offer guidance on reinforcement techniques to support their dog's learning outside of training sessions. 7. **Follow-Up and Support:** After the initial training sessions, I provide ongoing support to the customer to help them maintain their dog's training progress. This may include follow-up sessions, phone or email support, or access to resources such as training materials or referrals to other professionals if needed. By following this process, I strive to create a positive and practical training experience for the customer and their dog, ultimately helping them build a strong bond based on trust, communication, and mutual respect.
