You must complete these steps for me to get the form.
The form helps me understand what your dog needs & what your goals are. The more information you provide, the better I'm able to determine which program(s) would be the best fit.

Please be aware that I follow the American Veterinary Society for Animal Behavior's recommendation for using only reward-based training methods. So, I don't use aversive tools (choke, slip, prong, e-collars, bark collars, etc). While working with me, I request that you not use these tools as they may interfere with your dog's training progress/results.

Please allow up to 72 hours for a response. If greater than that, please text 218-489-4185 or email angela.bata@serenitydogtraining.com

I look forward to assisting you in your dog training journey.
