HOW TO BOOK
Consultation Call
The first step is to schedule a consultation call. Have a list of behaviors to work on or training goals you want to improve on. In order to achieve the best training, a detailed discussion about what you and your dog are experiencing will provide efficient information for the trainer. Each dog has specific needs and unique characteristics. It is crucial to establish goals to create a personalized approach for training sessions to be effective. It’s all about setting the right foundation!
Customized Training Plan
After the consultation call, a customized training plan will be tailored to you and your dog’s needs and lifestyle. There will be an outline of the training methods and techniques in the included booklet, as well as additional research provided by the trainer that pertains to the training. Each session is designed to build upon previous lessons, ensuring consistent improvement and learning. This step is vital for creating a structured and effective training program. Be aware! Going back a step and relearning is part of training!
Ongoing Support
The final step involves ongoing support. After completing a program with Refined Hounds Dog Training, access to the trainer for ongoing questions is part of it. Training is an evolving process, and adjustments will be needed as your dog progresses and ages. Providing continuous support is our goal to ensure that owners are confident in implementing the training techniques. There is a discount after our weekly programs of 20% off for any additional training. Remember, our commitment to you and your dog doesn’t end after the sessions; we are here to support you throughout your training journey.
Meet the Trainer
Hi! Taylor Winzenread here, founder and trainer of Refined Hounds Dogs Training. My training began in 2019 with my wonderful dog, Sitka. I took him to puppy, obedience, and therapy training courses. All very diverse in their own way, which taught me a lot about dog training (Clicker training, prong training, positive reinforcement, etc.). I was then hired as a pet trainer through PetSmart, where I quickly discovered that corporate life is not my strength. After my time there and gaining valuable experience, I changed my focus to building stronger relationships through obedience work, patience, and studying dogs’ body language. Most importantly, when to play and when to be serious.
I am dedicated to ensuring every training session strengthens the bond between owner and pet. From personalized training schedules to weekly training sessions or upcoming booklets on how to best care for your pet. I am here to help bridge the gap between human and pet communication to give your furry friends the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. That’s why we have them in our lives, so why not continue to enrich theirs?
Once a client has completed my training, they remain part of my team for check-ins and ongoing support throughout their training journey. Dogs, as well as humans, grow and evolve throughout their lives. New training questions and routines are bound to happen!
