Consultations
Consultations are free and are usually done in your home, or an environment that will be as stress free for the dog as possible. At the consultation, we will discuss what goals you have for your dog as well as answer any additional questions you may have regarding our services.
Leash Walking
Leash walking is the most challenging aspect of dog training, but it is also the foundation of our training because it is with this practice that you develop the line of communication necessary to achieve real results. These sessions (45 minute-60 minute) will show you the tools necessary for correcting pulling, weaving, and continuous barking.
In-Home Training
We train together at your home and progress into public settings to increase distractions. Sessions are usually once per week and last between 4-6 weeks with a goal to be off leash reliable. Goals are generally met during this period, however a maximum of three additional sessions are available should the owner or dog need it. This package makes you eligible for group walks. With this program, I teach you what to do and then you teach your dog. Practicing in between lessons is the key to successful training.
Board and Train
A two week stay at my home, in a family oriented environment. We begin by learning commands in a non-distracting environment early on, and will be off leash reliable with distractions by the time it returns home. At the end of the two week period, your dog is returned to you and you are shown everything that has been learned. This is a great program if you and your family do not have much time to work with your dog. This package includes unlimited sessions for the lifetime of the dog and makes you eligible for the group walks.
Boarding
Boarding is offered for clients that have been through any of my training programs. There is limited availability, so it is first come first serve. Dogs will get a tune up and social time. The fee is subject to change during holidays.
