First Step - Complimentary Consultation

Before we begin any training program together, I offer a complimentary consultation call—think of it as a “preliminary investigation” into your dog’s behaviour. This is your chance to lay out any concerns you’ve been dealing with, and for me to gather the intel I need to determine if I am best suited to help you. During this call, we’ll go over your training goals and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have of me.

Benefits of this Consultation:

Assess compatibility: It’s important that we are a good match in terms of training style and goals.
Personalized approach: No two cases are the same. This is where I get to assess whether my approach and experience are the right fit for you and your dog.
Commitment to success: Working together will help us achieve the best results for both you and your dog.

Christine Durrant, Your Dogtective

Hi! I’m Christine, originally from California, now living permanently in Ayr, Scotland. While I’m an expert at crackin’ the cases for all dogs I have a special knack for addressing the complex cases of reactive and fearful dogs. I’ve been a Certified, (CPDT-KA) Professional Dog Trainer for over 15 years. I’ve worked privately with hundreds of families just like yours. I’ve also worked with Guide Dogs for the Blind and Dogs for Diabetics along the way. I’m here to help you and your pup tackle anything that comes your way!

How Training Works

I will complete a thorough investigation through assessment and observation. With this information I will create a structured training plan for your dog and your life.

1. Investigation

Together, we will implement and work through your dog’s personalised training plan, step-by-step, using easy-to-follow techniques and expert guidance. We’ll tackle unwanted behaviours and watch as better ones emerge.

2. Problem Solving

Once training is completed, your dog will have learned new behaviours that will last throughout their lifetime. There is a new sense of peace in your household and you have some great, new skills!
