Whether you have a brand new puppy or an adult dog with mild to serious behavioral issues, our private training is second to none. Our training focuses on building trust and communication so you never need to succumb to bribery or intimidation in your life with your dog ever again.
We work with all breeds, most behaviors, all sizes, but most importantly, we work with you. Great results require great collaboration and our trainers are as passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise with you as they are working with your dog(s). We offer a variety of packages, which are listed below.
How do we start?
Behavior Evaluation – $250: This is a 2-hour session where we will sit down with you in the comfort of your home to diagnose your doggie woes and dilemmas. Daily routines, diet, and behavior problems are explored and examined fully to make sure that all future training addresses the causes of the problems and not the symptoms. Our in-depth evaluation will inform you what is causing Fido’s behavior problems and will outline a plan with how to modify those behaviors. It is common for clients to learn that numerous behavior problems can stem from a single cause.
Puppy Assessment – $200: Getting a new puppy can be a daunting and frustrating experience when suddenly you have a two-month-old peeing, pooping, barking, chewing, ball of uncontrollable cuteness. It is imperative to understand that training for puppies is the most critical training they will ever receive, no matter the breed! This is 2-hour session in the comfort of your home where we will discuss everything puppy. We will review all the needs of puppies, how puppies learn, your specific goals and challenges, and a create a basic outline of how to meet your goals.
