Evaluations & Recommendations
We’re here to help you and your pet.
Just as every person is special in their own way, so is every pet.
At Riverina K9 Services, we pride ourselves on our professional approach and customized advice for each individual pet – we will assess your situation and provide you with the appropriate support and service. Our solution-focused approach and advice will give you confidence to successfully communicate with your pet and meet their needs.
Assisting you with your pet means sometimes we have to look at everything from a few different angles. As well as an effective training strategy, it’s very important we get all the other fundamental areas of your pet’s life functioning well too – lifestyle, health, diet, exercise, communication, relationships and environment all play a big part in their overall wellbeing and behaviour.
It goes without saying every pet and guardian should enjoy a rewarding relationship together, and we strive to empower our clients through education, support and our ongoing assistance where required.
In certain cases or upon request the first part of working with us is the evaluation and recommendation process. Generally this process is aimed at clients that require behavioural consultation or have very specific training goals in mind.
