Private
consultations are available
for clients who want one on one training with dog
behavior expert, Cheri Lucas. Private consultations
last between 2.0 to 3.0 hours, and can take place
either at the Second Chance Ranch, or the client’s
home, depending on the severity and issue of the
dog or the location of the client.
Cheri begins each consultation with an evaluation
of your dog’s problem behavior. You will
learn the difference between dog psychology and
human psychology, and why it matters in your relationship
with your dog. You will learn tools and techniques
specific to your dog’s issues which will
allow you to see changes in his or her behavior
right away. You will also learn the rules of “the
walk,” and how to teach your dog to respect
you, your family, and your home. You will learn
how to recognize neurotic, aggressive and protective
behavior, and how to turn the behavior around.
If your dog is dog-aggressive, Cheri will usually
suggest the consultation take place at the Second
Chance Ranch in Templeton, California. Cheri’s
balanced pack of Second Chance dogs are instrumental
in helping dog aggressive dogs become social with
their own kind.
Please contact Holly at dogbehavior@tcsn.net or
call 805-434-3901 for prices. Cheri travels to
Los Angeles approximately once a month to work
with clients in the LA area.
Boot camp was created for dogs that require more than a private consultation or a group workshop. In some cases, dogs need to be removed from their home environment in order to begin the rehabilitation process. In particular, dogs with dog aggression problems benefit greatly by being immersed in an environment with a large pack of balanced, social dogs.
