Initial In-Person Training Session
In-Person Initial Training Sessions
These are training sessions for new clients wishing to work with us in-person to modify their animal’s behaviors. Clients that have been directed to this page have already started the training process by meeting with a trainer for an initial phone consultation. Over the phone consultation, online training sessions were described and prices were discussed. In the service description below, we have summarized these points for clear communication and easy reference.
PAYMENT AND GATHERING INFORMATION
Once you are ready to start the training process, we will send over a questionnaire form for the initial training session to your email. The questionnaire form is very detailed using functional assessment in order to get to know you, your bird, the environment, and other contributing factors to behavior in order to understand your situation and the behavior the best! It is a very detailed document, which is important for me to best understand your situation. This is because this information, as well as the information you gave over the phone consultation, will be used to create the written training plan, which I will go into more detail about below.
The payment here is for one follow up session, and any additional follow up sessions can be purchased at the same time if you prefer. Through our checkout you can pay with your PayPal account, or with all major credit/debit cards. Payment needs to be completed in full 24 hours before your scheduled meeting. If you need to hold off on payment at this time until you are ready, you can always come back to this page! You can still fill out the questionnaire form in the meantime so when you are ready, we can get you seen sooner! If payment is not completed, you will not be put on the schedule. This is to avoid no-shows and excessive cancellations.
Additional fees may be required of you are outside of our free travel radius. This would be discussed with you either on the initial phone consultation, or given a quote sent to your email after the phone consultation. These additional travel fees will need to be paid in-person the day of the visit. We accept cash and checks.
CREATING THE WRITTEN TRAINING PLAN
From the information you send, a custom written training plan is created. This is a very detailed document that includes every small approximation that you will follow to modify your animal’s behavior. It also includes troubleshooting so if you are training and behavior doesn’t go as anticipated, you have a plan to recover the training session, or get it to a good ending point to then follow up with your trainer to find out what went wrong and how to make sure it doesn’t happen again. The training plan is for teaching your animal new behaviors in order to decrease the undesirable ones. Training sessions are generally short, around 3-5 minutes of length at least once a day, ideally twice a day, but could be more times per day depending on your animals motivation!
There may also be a management plan that you will be given depending on the behavior. A management plan is a plan of suggestions for you to make in everyday life in order to support your training and behavior modification. This may include topics like diet change, environmental changes, how you interact with your animal, etc. These are different from the training plans because a management plan is unstructured training through modifying everyday life, as a training plan is direction to do for structured training sessions that works on creating new behaviors.
We also include all the information and education you will need in order to be successful with the training and the plan as described. This could be links to products or resources, defining definitions, including peer reviewed published articles, emerging practices, etc.
INFORMATIONAL IN-PERSON HOUSE VISIT
The last step in the initial training session is the initial in-person visit at your residence.
The in-person meeting l is about 1-2 hours in length, and it is a lot of information! We go over any management plans and the training plan, as well as any other supporting education you will need in order to be successful. This session is to educate you to be able to educate your animal! The in-person session includes demonstrations to help you visualize the movements of the training that you will be incorporating. Depending on your animal, we can provide live demonstrations with your animal, or provide video recordings using our resident animals and email it over after the visit. We try to accommodate to your learning style for the most success.
After the in-person session has ended, you will be emailed the written training plan, as well as the management plan if needed, as well as any other education you need in order to be successful. We also offer for the in-person session to be recorded for reference purposes at no additional cost. Just let your trainer know that you would like that before the day of your visit!
