In Store, Remote and Onsite Support

We are available to provide consulting services at our retail location in Burlington, through your high-speed Internet connection, or onsite at your home or business in northwest Vermont. In Store Consulting can be a great help if you prefer the one-on-one approach for setting up new devices, troubleshooting, or training, while Remote Consulting can save you a long drive but can have limitations in certain circumstances. We can also travel to you for those times when you need us to see your complete home or office setup.

Examples of Consulting Services:

> Basic to in-depth learning on both Apple and third-party products

> Troubleshooting and technical support

> Basic, intermediate, and advanced tutorials

> Network set-up including wireless internet, printing, and Mac/PC integration

> Recommendations and implementation of backup solutions to ensure important documents, photos and music are secure

> Instruction on cybersecurity and removal of malware

> Assistance in local and cloud storage management

> Assessments to determine if upgrades can extend the lifespan of your device, rather than complete replacement

> Manual data migrations to a new computer, iPhone, or iPad

  • I used Small Dog's consulting services and worked with Nate. He was excellent - Nate takes the very technical and communicates it in a way that not only makes it easy to understand but that I'll also remember going forward. It was like taking a mini-class while also learning how to fix the problem at hand. He was personable, addressed my issues, and mindful of the time. Definitely recommend!
