Initial Behavior Consultation

Tommy Grammer, Dog Behavior Consultation

Not sure where to start, or dealing with a behavior that's getting harder to manage? The Initial Behavior Consultation is the best first step for dog owners who want real answers and a clear training plan. We serve Arlington, Marysville, Stanwood, Camano Island, and the surrounding Snohomish County area.

This 1.5-hour session can be held in your home or at our training space in Marysville. In-home sessions tend to work especially well since we get to see your dog in the environment where most behaviors actually show up. Either way, we'll make it work for you.

The session is divided into two parts:

1. Assessment and Evaluation I'll start by getting to know your dog, your training goals, the challenges you're facing, and your dog's temperament and history. This isn't a generic intake process. It's a hands-on evaluation so I can understand exactly what your dog needs.

2. Hands-On Training Once I have a clear picture, we get to work. We'll address your dog's specific behaviors together so you can see real techniques in action, not just hear about them.

By the end of the session, you'll leave with a concrete set of exercises to practice at home and a clear path forward. I'll also walk you through which training options best fit your dog's needs and your goals.

The consultation is $195 and runs approximately 1.5 hours.

"At the end of our consultation, if you don't feel like you have a clear understanding of your dog's behavior and a concrete plan for moving forward, just say so. I'll refund your fee on the spot. After 24 years I'm confident you'll find it valuable, but I'd rather earn your trust than keep your money." - Tommy Grammer
