OUR SPECIALTY
We have specialized in puppy and adolescent development programs since 2003. Our goal is to equip the HANDLER with understanding, patience, good teaching skills, knowledge, and information. We are an integrative and functional training business that uses reward based training, while working with the whole dog - socially, emotionally, physically, and nutritionally.
SERVICES
One-on-one or out-and-about training is targeted to what is most important for your household, that is appropriate for both age and size.
COACHING
$75 per hour
IN PERSON COACHING
A One on One personalized session. You choose the skill/s you would like to work on, and I will demonstrate the process with your dog, and then coach you. This way you can take your new skills and practice away! Whether you want to learn something new, start modifying a behavior, learn a new skill, and / or better management techniques, this is a great way to focus on what is important to your household. Teaching and training are a process, there is no such thing as an over night success. We are an integrative and functional training business, using reward based training for the whole dog - socially, emotionally, physically, and nutritionally.
PHONE
1 - If you are looking to have a quick question answered, needing resource, or just doing a check-in
2 - If your schedule is busy or you live far away, a phone appointment is a great way to touch base and get your questions answered.
FEAR, CAUTIOUSNESS, AGGRESSION, CONCERNS - If you have concerns about your dog, or your dog is trying to, or has caused harm to person, place, thing, or another dog, then our BEHAVIORAL CONSULTATION is the correct service for you.
BEHAVIORAL CONSULTATION
$175 - 90 minutes
If there is something that prohibits working/training with your puppy / dog at the time of service (health, behavior, arousal, environment) - the appointment will be cancelled in the first 15 minutes, and only a $25 service charge will apply.
Our Behavioral Consultation is designed to work with the dog and owner in a one-on-one environment. Consultations are a great way to address your dogs needs and/or your concerns.
I take a thorough history before the initial appointment. Your attention to supplying accurate details is important.
Time is spent observing your dog, your way of interacting, and your dog responding. Depending on the context of the appointment, sometimes we will work with your dog, but it isn't always necessary and/or appropriate.
The consultation is just that, to give you a better understanding on what is happening and information on the initial work that will need to be done.
Aggression cases that have gone unchecked for a period of time will run longer as the history is important. Please plan accordingly. It is important that you not only receive the information you need, but that you understand the initial plan for you and your dog. After the initial consultation, if there is a need for follow up appointments they will be schedule as a 1 hour follow up.
