I get A LOT of phone calls. Sometimes people are genuinely interested in working with me, but sometimes... they're just window shopping. The downside is these calls take away from time I could be spending working with dedicated dog parents who are serious about fixing their problems and addressing their dogs issues. To give more time back to you, the dedicated owner, I now charge a $100 initial phone consultation fee. At the end of the call, when you book our appointment together, I'll apply the fee to your session. It's a way for you to get to know me, and for me to get to know what's going on with your dog so I can maximize our in-person appointment time together. The fee is non-refundable, but I'll give you as much of my time as you need, whether its 5 minutes or an hour. It's a downpayment on changing your dog's life.
