Initial Consultation – $150
The first step for any of our services is an initial consultation, typically lasting 1.5 hours, where we’ll dive into your dog’s unique needs. This is a no-judgment zone, where I’ll listen to your concerns and work with you to understand your dog’s behavior and what you’ve already tried. Whether your dog has specific issues or you’re just looking to improve their overall behavior, we’ll work together to develop a customized plan that works for both of you. The consultation is conducted virtually, and while your dog can be present, the focus is on discussing their behavior and understanding what’s happening. This session is designed to gather information and create a customized plan for training. The consultation takes place either virtually or in-person, providing a convenient and flexible way to get started.
Training Sessions – $125 per 1-Hour Session
After your consultation, we offer individual sessions to focus on specific behaviors and skills you’d like to work on. We will continue making progress with positive reinforcement techniques to help your dog succeed.
Training Package – $575 for 5 Sessions
For those looking to commit to consistent training, we offer a package of 5 sessions for $575, saving you 10%. An initial consultation is required prior to purchasing a package to ensure I can meet your dog’s specific needs. Longer packages are available on an individual basis for clients with service dogs in training.
Stay & Train – $200 per Day
Each day includes two personalized training sessions focused on the skills you want your dog to master, plus two 20-minute neighborhood walks if your dog is comfortable walking on leash. You’ll receive a daily photo and video updates so you can follow your dog’s progress, and at the end of the stay, we provide a 30-minute transfer session to ensure you know how to practice and reinforce your dog’s new skills at home. Service is based on availability. Additional charges may apply for holidays.
