✨ A quick bit of transparency about how I work:
I sometimes use AI as an editing tool when writing client emails and follow-up notes. I use it to help with organization, grammar, spelling, and workflow because between us, I have a learning disability.
The observations, assessment, training recommendations, and professional judgement are mine. I am not handing your dog’s case over to AI and asking it to create a training plan for me. I am using an editing tool to help me communicate my own work more clearly.
I honestly didn’t realize this was something I needed to disclose, but a recent experience made me realize that some people feel strongly about the use of AI in any capacity.
So, in the interest of transparency: if you are uncomfortable with me using AI-assisted editing as an accessibility and workflow tool, I completely respect that, we can find another way to communicate without AI assistance being involved, I will only need more time and patience writing about your case.
I’m also making one small business change moving forward: consultations and sessions will now require payment in advance. I’ve never had to do this before, as I have never been denied payment towards an invoice before. I hope you understand.
I really care so deeply about the quality of the work I provide, but I also have found that I need to use the tools and systems that allow me to do that work sustainably and effectively.
Thanks, as always, for trusting me with your dogs. Next week is a new week full of humans and dogs ready to learn and create positive changes. Onward! 🐾
