In-Person Private Dog Training
Tailored Solutions for Your Furry Friend
Step 1 - Introductory Call
Free
Let’s connect! The first step is for you to fill out a brief intake form, which helps me learn about your dog’s history, behavior, and your specific training goals. Once that’s complete, we’ll schedule an introductory video call.
During this call, we’ll discuss your dog’s unique situation, challenges, and needs, as well as your training objectives. It’s also an opportunity for us to get to know each other, address any questions, and determine if we’re the right fit to work together.
This initial conversation sets the foundation for a personalized training plan tailored to you and your dog’s success. I look forward to meeting you both!
Step 2 - Initial Onboarding Session
$80
Once I determine that I’m a good fit for your dog’s training goals, we’ll schedule an onboarding session. This session includes a consultation with you and an assessment of your dog, which can be conducted in person or virtually, depending on your schedule and your dog’s comfort.
During the onboarding session, I will:
Conduct a detailed interview to understand your dog’s history, behavior, and your training goals.
Assess your dog’s behavior and identify areas for improvement.
Design a customized training plan tailored to your dog’s needs to effectively address problem behaviors and achieve your goals.
After the session, you’ll receive a comprehensive write-up within 24 hours, including:
A clear management plan.
Initial training instructions.
Recommendations for follow-up sessions to ensure continued progress.
Additional resources to support your dog’s success.
Step 3- Private 1-1 Training Sessions
Single session: $80
5 session package: $380
10 session package: $720
After the Onboard Training Session, I will work with you and your dog privately in approximately 60-minute training sessions held either in your home or in real-world settings. I offer single-session rates or discounted rates for 5- or 10-sessions.
Training plans include a mix of one-on-one trainer sessions and hands-on owner involvement. During trainer-only sessions, I focus on building key skills and addressing problem behaviors. Transition sessions ensure you feel confident reinforcing your dog’s training at home. This balanced approach maximizes results and strengthens your bond with your dog.
I offer a standard schedule (e.g., weekly sessions), but I can adjust based on your dog’s progress and needs.
With your customized training plan and my ongoing support, you’ll be able to get started towards success! As I work, I will be reassessing your plan to make sure it continues to be the best plan for you to see real, lasting results.
Step 4- Ongoing Support
Even after our training sessions are complete, my support doesn’t end there—I’m committed to your ongoing success. Training is a journey, and I’m here to ensure you and your dog continue to thrive long after our sessions together.
Whether you have a quick question about your dog’s progress, need advice on a new challenge, or simply want additional guidance, you can always reach out. I offer flexible options for follow-up support, including email and text check-ins, to address your concerns promptly.
For more in-depth assistance, I also provide discounted follow-up sessions to reinforce training, fine-tune behaviors, or tackle any new issues that arise. My goal is to make sure you feel confident, empowered, and fully supported every step of the way.
With my ongoing commitment, you’ll have the tools and guidance to build a lasting, positive relationship with your dog.
