Why does Kendall’s Canines have such an extensive evaluation process?


Cassie is dedicated to the understanding of why a dog may be struggling, in need of rehabilitation, or otherwise failing to meet goals outside of the basic training needs.  It is important we understand the dog we are working with mentally and physically prior to coming up with a training plan that will work for your dog, based on the goals of your dog.  Potential injury, nutritional deficiencies, medical background and training background of your dog are all critical items for Cassie to be aware of when piecing together the needs of your individual dog.  There is no sense in spending the money and time training your dogs to be the best they can be if there are some gaps in their foundational needs.  We strive for healthy all around dogs, not just well-behaved dogs.  Well-behaved and well trained dogs are not achievable without healthy dogs.  Additionally, the exercises that Cassie will be watching closely will give her information on your dog’s relationship to you and what she may need to prioritize with you as their owner and handler.  This process is part of the whole dog approach that Kendall’s Canines strives to succeed in.
