The Behavior Consultation Process
The DogSmith behavior consultations are performed in a way that ensures we have all of the relevant information to properly assess the case in question. The DogSmith app works in conjunction with the forms and training below
- An online behavior consulting form is completed
- A Functional Assessment appointment is set.
- The Functional Assessment is completed
- Homework is emailed to the client from the first session
- A Behavior Change Plan is developed by The DogSmith
- Lessons are scheduled to work through the plan
Homework is always assigned to the client during the actual appointment. The DogSmith runs through the homework so the client understands what is expected, how they will achieve it and how they will know if they are getting the correct outcome.
The DogSmith proprietary software is used to reconcile, collect and review important client information.
All of these processes can now be done from the DogSmith website.
