MONTHLY BEHAVIOR CHALLENGE

With a chance to win a $50 gift card + share your journey on The Dog Training Unplugged Podcast!!

Start date: MARCH 1ST 2024

“Every month we focus on a new behavior issue and offer a LOW COST package to clients to help educate - and reduce or resolve the issue for the client.

This helps to raise awareness of WHY these behavior issues are so common, and how Family Dog Mediation® and our Umbrella Framework foster understanding and appreciation of the complexity of dogs and our relationships with them.

Our goal with this Behavior Challenge is to illustrate the need to shift the focus AWAY from ‘TRAINING’ to the REAL issues at hand = human behavior & WELFARE problems and how meeting your dog’s needs is MORE important than training.

-Vivi Myslik Jorgensen, LFDM-T, KPA CTP. Owner & Founder of The Dog Talker LLC (TDT)

MONTHLY BEHAVIOR CHALLENGE:

Every month, from March 2024, we will focus on a common behavior issue on social media and offer a

BEHAVIOR CHALLENGE PACKAGE

FOR MAX. 4 CLIENTS PER BEHAVIOR ISSUE PER MONTH!

How it works:


The Behavior challenge:

In the course of 3 in-home (or Zoom) sessions, you will receive in-person coaching, tools, and homework to help with your dog’s behavior issue. If you do your homework and follow our instructions and recommendations, you should experience relief and improvement within these 3 sessions. (PLEASE NOTE: This does not mean the issue will be ‘fixed’ in just 3 sessions but you will have tools to continue the good progress!)

Each month, we will pick 1 winner who has worked the hardest trying to help their dog navigate life better.

The winner will receive a $50 VISA gift card plus the chance to come on my podcast, The Dog Training Unplugged Podcast, and share their journey.

The winner will be interviewed for the Podcast on Zoom by Vivi - but only the audio of this interview will be recorded for the podcast. As a winner, you can opt out of appearing on the podcast, or choose to be anonymous, if you prefer.

If you choose to not be interviewed for the podcast, we kindly ask that you leave an honest review of your experience doing this Behavior Challenge.

Each Monthly Behavior Challenge package includes:

  • 1 hour phone consult/L.E.G.S.® assessment - to understand your dog’s WHY

  • 3 x 1 hour in-home (or Zoom) sessions

  • Customized homework

  • Behavior plan/L.E.G.S.® Assessment 

  • Invitation to join our private ‘Dog Training Unplugged (DTU) Community’ Group on Facebook

One time investment - ONLY $400!!
