Evaluation
Evaluations usually last 1 to 1.5 hours, though Katie asks that you set aside two so there is no rush. These are very important as they give you and your pup(s) a chance to meet Katie and discuss all of your goals for your dog. Katie will then go over what it will take to reach your goals and give you an idea of how many sessions it may take to get there.
