THE PIGGY PROMISE
WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER.
To work with Good Piggy is to make a commitment to giving your animal the best life you can.
Training isn't something that happens only during a Good Piggy session. We spend a small amount of time together, but you spend every day with your animal. The little things you practise, reinforce and repeat between our sessions are where the real progress happens.
That's why Good Piggy training is just as much about
training humans as it is about training animals.
We'll give you the knowledge, tools and support. We'll demonstrate, practise, adjust and troubleshoot alongside you. But for training to have the best chance of succeeding, we need you to keep it going when we're not there.
Training works best when the humans are learning too. What you practise, reinforce and continue between sessions is just as important as what we do together. We'll give you the skills - and we'll need you to use them.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU & YOUR GOOD PIGGY
We'll take the time to understand the individual animal.
We'll listen to what you want life together to look like and develop a practical approach tailored to you both.
We'll explain what we're doing - and why - in language that makes sense.
We'll never overcomplicate training for the sake of sounding clever.
We'll be honest about what we think is achievable, adapt when something isn't working and celebrate the progress that is.
And above all, we'll always put your animal's welfare and quality of life first.
Show up.
Be ready to learn alongside your animal and take an active part in their training.Keep going.
Practise between sessions and build training into everyday life. Consistency matters far more than one perfect session.Be patient.
Learning takes time. Progress isn't always linear, and every animal learns differently.Be honest.
Tell us when something isn't working, when you haven't had time to practise, or when circumstances change.
We're here to help - not judge.Be kind.
To your animal and yourself. We're working towards progress, not perfection.
YOUR PROMISE TO YOUR GOOD PIGGY
We'll bring our experience, knowledge and commitment to finding the best way forward for you and your animal - that’s our (piggy) promise.
What we can't promise is a particular result within a particular timeframe.
Behaviour and training are influenced by many things - including an animal's individual temperament, history, health, environment and experiences, as well as how consistently training can be followed between sessions. Some behaviours can improve quickly; others require ongoing management, adjustment or support.
We'll do everything reasonably within our scope to help you make progress, but training is something we do together. The outcomes we achieve depend on what happens both during our sessions and in all those hours between them.
WHAT WE CAN - AND CAN’T - PROMISE
Before beginning services with Good Piggy, we'll ask you to sign the Piggy Promise— a simple agreement between us about how we'll work together and the commitment we're both making to your animal/s.
Good training doesn't end when the session does.
It continues with good humans who keep showing up for their piggies.
Remember…
