Is Virtual Coaching right for me?
Virtual Coaching Sessions with
Reward Your Dog Training
When living with a dog who has issues around fear, anxiety, aggression, or reactivity, you are probably facing your dog’s behavior issues frequently, perhaps even daily. And you may not always be confident that you’re handling everything well. That is why a coaching model makes sense.
Not only will these sessions help you learn important training mechanics and skills, they will also allow you to troubleshoot any issues you’re currently experiencing and build your confidence around continuing the training on your own.
A virtual model allows you to access support from Verena anywhere in the world and book your sessions at a time that is convenient for you, in the comfort of your own home.

Step 1: Apply to Work with RYDT
To make sure that you get the most out of your training sessions with Reward Your Dog Training, Verena carefully vets each case before accepting a dog and guardian team into her training program. Once she has determined that your dog is a good fit, she will reach out to you with further steps to schedule your intake consultation and sessions.
Step 2: Book Your Intake Consult
You and your dog’s training journey begins with an intake consultation, which allows you to share the issues you and your dog are facing as well as take a deep dive into your dog’s history to help get to the root of the behavioral challenges. Verena will then work together with you to hone in on your training goals, discuss the expected prognosis, go over the behavior modification plan, and build 1-2 core skills to get you and your dog started on your training journey. Intake consultations take 90-120 minutes and include a thorough written write up as well as email and text support as needed.
Step 3: Book Your Sessions
After the intake consultation, your sessions will focus on coaching you to gain both theoretical as well as practical skills to understand how to help your dog achieve their training goals. Your dog will learn important skills in a relaxed environment and then begin applying them to more challenging situations.
When working with you and your dog on skill building, Verena will use a personalized approach depending on your learning style.
Coaching sessions are 60 minutes in length and include a thorough written write up as well as email and text support as needed.
