For our first meeting, your dog MUST be on leash with a properly fitting harness or collar. You are required to maintain control of the dog and have an available means of securing him/her if requested (crate/separate room). When your dog is introduced to me, allow them to cycle through their normal behaviours (safely on leash), avoid any corrections (physical or verbal), I will explain what I see and am doing. I may video our first introduction. Please acknowledge here that you are able to manage your dog as required and let me know if you prefer NOT to use video.

Finally, tell me what success looks like you. What is the number one goal for our time together and what else would you like me to know?
