Responsible Dog and Cat ~ Training and Behavior Solutions

Responsible Dog is interested in feedback concerning our services and experience with us.  Customer service is important and providing clients with necessary knowledge and information that makes owning, training, managing your dog/s so you can better enjoy your dog-human relationship.  Our mission is keeping pets in their homes out of shelters and rescues, we need your help to make this happen!

Did we offer you free information over the phone, referral to a Certified Veterinary Behaviorist?  Was it helpful?  As a professional, we are limited to what can be discussed over the phone.  If you are uncertain whether you have a behavior problem or have questions concerning a behavior problem, I do offer a paid telephone consult.  It is not ethical for me to provide free analysis or comments regarding a dogs behavior without an evaluation.

Because we care and want only the best for you and your pets, we want to be sure your pet has first been thoroughly checked by your veterinarian before scheduling a behavior consult and why we encourage a veterinary referral.   Read why this is important here http://www.diamondsintheruff.com/healthandbehavior.html first!  

Did we do a good job explaining our training methods and why we suggest using positive reinforcement, avoiding aversive training to effect behavioral change and teaching new behavior?  

Was your session for training and/or behavior problems?   Or both?

Did you agree with the proposed solutions?  Did you follow through and contact the trainer if something wasn’t working for you or the dog. was the overall problem resolved?  Yes or no?  What is the reason for your response?
