Wellness-Consultations

At Give A Paw Canine Wellness, LLC, we offer a holistic approach to your dog’s overall Wellness experience. We promote a harmonious mind-body connection for further physical, social, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional development. In our Wellness Suite offerings, we focus on these Five Foundations: Comfort, Companionship, Nourishment, Play, and Purpose.

 

CONSULTATIONS

Often, dogs are left alone for up to eight hours a day (or more!) during the usual pet parent work week. Thankfully, this is changing because more people work from home. However, being at home does not always mean your pup will get their needs and wants met on any given day. One way to address this “paw on” is to be intentional and strategic as to how to efficiently use the family’s time to benefit the dog and the people.

 

So . . . what are Enrichment Consultations? These are fluid, dynamic, ever-changing management-based plans driven by your need for harmony in the home and a dog’s passion for Life Rewards*. The plan may include:

 

(*Life Rewards are the results of your dog making healthy choices and using positive behavior that elicit precisely what they wanted originally . . . but were misbehaving to get! For example: Digging for toys/bones in a home-made sandbox instead of tearing up the rose garden; Sniffy Walks where your dog leads the way without pulling; Jumping in a sport competition like dock diving and agility instead of the preferred leaping on grandma at the front door!)

 

Enrichment Consultations:Together, over six Seventy-Minute sessions, we develop an adaptive and flexible schedule of activities—posted and placed in a central location where it is viewable by the entire household—to enrich your dog’s daily life. This schedule will be in constant flux, as we determine what is working, and what is not. In Enrichment Consultations, adjustments are the highest form of tail-wagging flattery! After six weeks, clients will have the toolkit to continue and tweak the program as necessary. Sessions may be in-person, virtual, or a combination agreed upon during the Initial Consultation.

 

Enrichment Consultations Follow-ups: At any time, former clients may contact Give A Paw Canine Wellness, LLC, for “as needed” Follow-up Sessions.
