Management means avoiding triggers, blocking out noise, avoiding guests the home, changing time of day of walks, etc.) "I currently implement a lot of management, and this keeps my dog from experiencing triggers very frequently" "I currently implement a lot of management, but my dog still experiences triggers very frequently" "I do implement very little to no management and my dog experiences triggers very frequently." NOW LET'S LEARN ABOUT YOU, THE GUARDIAN! Please share a bit about your personality, your preferred method of learning, and any other information about yourself you think we should know. Think about this like introducing yourself to a stranger for the first time. Please Select All the Statements with which you identify. "I notice that my dog's anxiety will make me more anxious." "My dog's behavior doesn't impact me emotionally. I notice it. And I don't like it. But I wouldn't say it impacts how I feel in the moment." "I like to research things before taking action. I feel most secure when I have information ahead of time." "I like to take action first and ask questions later." "I am a self-studier. I usually prefer to work alone." "I thrive in environments with a group of people. I get a lot of energy from being around other people." "I like to know the WHY behind what I'm doing." "I don't like the extra information. Just tell me what to do to get results so I can go do it." "I enjoy the science behind what I'm learning. I love to collect data and logs." "Collecting data and logs will probably be pretty hard for me to do consistently. But I'm willing to try." "Collecting data and logs is just not my vibe. I can't commit to doing this." "I am a planner. I love a to-do list and a schedule." "I'm very spontaneous and go with the flow." "I mostly like to read how to do something." "I mostly like to watch video tutorials of how to do something." "I mostly like to listen (like a podcast) to learn how to do something." "I am very familiar with Jenna's free content via Youtube, IG, Podcast, and/or Email Newsletter." "I am somewhat familiar with Jenna's free content. But I need to listen/watch a few more episodes to familiarize myself." "I just found Jenna's free content, so I'm less familiar. But I will go binge right now!" "In deciding if the RRP is the right fit for me, if I have all the information in front of me, then I won't need to speak face to face with a Dog Liaison Rep." "In deciding if the RRP is the right fit for me, I will likely feel better if I can speak face to face with a Dog Liaison Rep before making a decision." When it comes to working through your dog’s recovery, what do you think is your current biggest obstacle preventing you from getting results? In what ways has your dog’s anxiety/stress affected your own life? What limitations are you experiencing that are negatively affecting your own mental health? When looking at your current lifestyle and availability, do you currently have the time and energetic capacity required to work through your dog's recovery? I have the time and energy required Now is not a good time in my life, but I'm interested in the RRP in the future On a scale of 1 to 10, how eager are you currently to bring on a coach to help you through your dog’s recovery? (1 being “not at all”. 10 being “very eager”) 1 (not at all) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (Very eager) Why Now? Why have you decided NOW is the right time for you to join a coaching program? Was there a specific event in your life or your dog's life that makes the need more eager now? How did you first hear about Dog Liaison? And for how long have you been following us? Why the RRP? What values about the RRP and Dog Liaison feel most in alignment with you and the relationship you want with your dog? What are some 'wins' that the Dog Liaison free content has given you and your dog already? The Recovering Rover Program is a high caliber program and the price reflect that. The RRP is a multiple four figure investment. (We do have a six month payment plan available.) How does that make you feel? a. “I cannot commit to this investment." b. "This investment might be a stretch for me financially. I'd still like to know more." c. “I have the means to afford this investment.” The RRP is incredibly Community-centric. You will get to know the other Rover Teams in the program very closely. We have Rover Teams from all over the world with many different backgrounds. If invited to the program, do you commit to creating a safe, inclusive, and judgement-free environment for your fellow Rover Teams in the program? Yes No Will you be making the final decision to enroll, or do you have a partner or family member who will be making the decision with you? (If you haven’t already, please list the name(s) of any family members who will be in the decision-making process as well as helping train through your Rover’s Recovery.) What will you need to feel confident in your final decision on whether the RRP is the right fit for you and your dog? Thank you so much for applying.
