In addition to conducting private consultations, Scott offers seminars for professional dog trainers, veterinary practices, rescue shelters, and dog owner groups. He serves as a consultant for municipal animal control services and provides legal consulting in dog bite cases.

Scott’s approach to training involves using standard flat collars and Halti type head collars, while he avoids the use of choke, prong, or shock collars due to potential long-term issues. His training philosophy focuses on positive techniques utilizing food, praise, play, and functional rewards.
