Any past/current medical issues or concerns?

Primary vet clinic
Tell me who the humans in the household are. Who does your pup have regular contact with?
Include gender (optional) of all household members, include age ONLY if under 18.
Are all members of your household on board with training?
List & describe any other animals in the household
Include age and general temperament. Example: 14 yr old Dachshund, arthritic & slightly grumpy. If no other animals, “none”
Does your dog have reactions of any kind when around certain types of people, things, or animals? If yes, please describe
Example: barks at kids, tall men wearing hats freak my pup out, big dogs are scary, my dog prefers certain breeds, etc
What types of gear or tools have been used with your pup in the past or are currently being used? Check all that apply

Other
Please share any experiences or thoughts about gear that’s been used or is currently being used with your pup.
Please let me know which gear/tools are currently being utilized, as well as when and why. For example: Martingale for walking because my dog has a skinny head and the collar keeps him safe or bark collar when I’m not home to keep my neighbors from complaining. And, is it working?
Describe any previous training your pup has had and the organization/trainer's name including approximate dates of training.
Once you were done with that instructor’s course, did you continue with them in-person or online or keep up with what you learned?
Types of training currently used at home. Check all that apply.

Other
Do you have a preferred way of working with your dog? Please describe, to the best of your ability, how you’d like to work with/train your dog.
Examples: I’m okay using treats, my dog is big and strong so I need a prong collar, I want to learn how to use a clicker, science based training all the way, I want to be the Pack Leader/Alpha, I want to use positive reinforcement, I expect my dog to obey my commands.
Does your dog exhibit any of the following? (check any/all that apply)
If you checked any of the things above, please take a moment to share specific details. When do these things happen, who do they happen to or around, and what was happening right before?
Example: when my dog hears fireworks, she tucks her tail, eyes get big, she trembles, and hides under the bed.
Describe 1-3 things you want your dog to DO. Take your time, this one is hard! I’m not asking what you want them to STOP, but what you want them to DO instead (an alternative behavior).
For example: Instead of barking out the window at everyone, I’m ok with a couple barks, but then I’d like my dog to go lie on her bed and chew on a bully stick. Or instead of charging my guests, I’d like him to wait calmly across the room until my guests get settled and then approach without hurting anyone. Use this space to tell me what you WANT!
Beyond what you’ve shared above, what is the number one thing you’d like to accomplish while working with me? Please share any other thoughts or questions so I may best understand how to guide you.
Are there any other particular activities you’d like to do with your dog?
