The Cat Coach® has flexible plans available. Consultations can be scheduled for either one or two hours, on site or by phone. Plans include a Behavior History Questionnaire that needs to be filled out and returned to The Cat Coach® at least 24 hours prior to the consultation. During all consultations, Marilyn assesses the situation and provides a verbal assessment, including the causes of the behavior. She will then recommend a course of action for solving the challenge. After the consultation you will received a written summary of recommendations and are welcome to contact The Cat Coach® for with questions and updates through e-mail at no extra charge as described below. Follow-up consultations are charged at an hourly rate.
On site Consultation:
The most effective way of resolving complex behavior issues are through on-site consultations. Marilyn observes the cat in his/her own environment, including relationships between the cat, her people and other household animals as well as the layout of the house and problem areas. These observations help to determine the influencing factors that are causing the problem.
Phone Consultation:
Phone consultations are also very effective. Instead of hands on observations, photos and videos are often requested. These aid Marilyn in accurately assessing the situation in order to provide the best recommendations for resolving the problem.
How it Works:
Two hour consultations for multi-cat household and/or multiple challenges; includes verbal recommendations and detailed written recommendations. Additionally, two hour consultations include detailed clicker training instructions (for modifying your cat’s unwanted behaviors) and one month of e-mail follow-ups by contacting Marilyn with your questions and updates.
One hour consultations can be effective for a single challenge in a one-cat household. Includes verbal recommendations and basic written recommendations and two weeks of e-mail follow-ups by contacting Marilyn with your questions and updates. One hour consultations do not include clicker training instructions for modifying unwanted behaviors.
If you are unsure if your cat behavior challenge needs a one hour or two hour consultation, please provide Marilyn a brief description of the issue either by filling out the form on the right or sending an e-mail or phoning her. Marilyn can then determine if one hour or two hours are needed.
