Free In-Home Consultation
The First Step Toward a Well-Trained, Well-Behaved Dog
At STL Dog Works, every training journey begins with a free in-home consultation. Why?
Because real results are built on understanding your dog, your home environment, and your lifestyle.
No guessing. No generic advice. No cookie-cutter program. This visit allows us to evaluate your dog where it matters most—in the space where habits form and behaviors show up every day.
What Happens During Your Consultation
Clear, Professional Assessment — In Your Home
During your in-home consultation, we will:
Assess your dog’s temperament, energy level, and learning style
Observe behavior patterns within the home environment
Identify sources of stress, inconsistency, or breakdown in structure
Review routines, rules, and household expectations
Discuss your goals, challenges, and daily realities
Determine which training approach will provide the most effective support
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of why certain behaviors are occurring and what structure is required for lasting change.
This is not a sales appointment.
It’s a professional evaluation designed to establish the right foundation for long-term success.
Why We Start In Your Home
Behavior is contextual. Dogs respond to environments, not hypotheticals.
By starting in your home, we can assess the factors that actually influence behavior — layout, routines, triggers, and daily handling. This allows us to build a training plan that holds up outside of structured sessions.
Real behavior requires real context.
