When you are having trainers come over for a consultation PLEASE be upfront and honest about what is going on. Today we did a consultation where the owners failed to provide critical information that would have been imperative for safety. They didn't convey that one of the dogs has a history of aggression. Our consultation started with being surrounded at the front door and getting bit.
We try our best to know what we are walking into. Had we have known more, we would have implemented safety measures and introduced ourselves differently. As a pet owner. If you know your animal has a history of aggression? You should be implementing safety measures and informing all persons entering your home.
Thankfully we are experienced and quick on our feet. This could have gone very badly.
During consultation, just be completely upfront and honest! What we thought we were walking into wasn't at all what we were walking into. Had we have known. Things would have gone much differently. We would have set everyone up for success instead of putting our trainer, a small puppy, and the owners in harms way.
We literally don't care about exes, rehoming issues, financial hardships. We are there to asses the animals needs and how we can HELP. The more Information we have, the better. Tell us EVERTHING! So we know how to help.
