Online Services
It's time to make some lemonade out of lemons! I (Kat) wasn't too sure about the idea of teaching private lessons online, but the more I've learned about it and actually done it, the more potential I see in it. There are many benefits to online lessons and in some cases, online education is more effective, safer and faster than traditional, in-person training.
Online services may be a good fit for you if:
- You need a distance-friendly training service (you like the professional, but live outside their travel radius).
- You have health problems, are high risk for Covid 19 (or other contagious diseases), or are otherwise unable to regularly meet in person or in public areas.
- You would like to meet very regularly (multiple times a week) to optimize your training program and your results.
- Your dog struggles with reactive, aggressive or hyperactive behaviors that cause them stress and/or to lose focus when meeting/working with strangers.
- You become stressed about a stranger (the trainer) coming to your home because of having to clean your home or because you're worried about how your dog will act. You may even not be able to focus on the lesson or what's being taught. Honestly, I have kids, a messy house and my dog is no angel. If I was worried about being drooled on, jumped on, barked at, etc... I wouldn't have become a dog trainer. But many of my clients seem to stress over these things and relax when me coming to their home is taken out of the equation. I get that.
- You'd like to save time and money. Because of the way online lessons are set up, I can streamline the process a little more and we can get more done in a shorter time. Because I don't have to travel, pay for gas, I can book more online sessions back-to-back, and online sessions are much physically easier for me, I charge substantially less for online lessons than for in person lessons.
