Guidebook Walkthrough + Consult

Part of the Co-op path.

The Guidebook Walkthrough is the second step on the Co-op path. You read the guidebook ahead of time, then we meet live to work through it — the self-assessment, the three-pillar framework, and honest questions about your own situation. This is not a lecture. It’s a working session with facilitation.

The 30-minute 1:1 consult that comes with the Walkthrough is scheduled separately. For guardians, the consult is where we map your next step — which coaching format fits, what readiness looks like for your dog, and how to find your people. For professionals, the consult can focus on business development, integrating the Co-op model, your own dog, or any combination.

If you’re a professional: attend with a double lens — as a guardian (because you are one), and as a coach (how would you teach this, structure it, deliver it?). Forrest School is not a certification program; it’s an opportunity to assess your readiness to carry the work into your own practice.

Pricing

$200/person covers the session, the 30-minute consult, and your dog/pack registration. A few existing-client and professional-group rates apply — reach out to tara@glimmer.dog if you think one might apply to you.

After the Walkthrough

The next step is Hands-On Coaching — in-person workshops in Westhampton or central MA, or a virtual path if geography is a constraint.
