Private Coaching

We will work closely with you in your own home to create a personalized training plan.

We will teach you how to integrate basic dog obedience skills into your daily routine and help you better understand your dog’s behavior. You will be able to build a bond with your dog and receive a better housemate in return.

Here's How it Works:

Pay-as-you- go.

The pay-as-you-go option is ideal for clients who want to try us out or just need a refresher on basic foundational skills.

These options work best for handlers who have trained their dogs before and understand the basics of positive reinforcement training.

We offer 3 session packages (one 90-minute session and two 60-minutes sessions).

Sessions must be used within 6 months from date of initial booking and are not transferrable.

You will have the support of a certified dog trainer between sessions and six months after your final session for the behaviors worked on in your training program.

Pricing

  • $200 for 90-minute consultation
  • $135 for each 60-minute session
  • $455 (one 90-minute session plus two 60-minute sessions)

I accept: cash, check, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, and Credit Cards

Day Training

Tailored for dog owners with busy schedules, we train your dog in our home with a personalized training plan based on your needs. We cover basic obedience (sit, down, stay) to problem behaviors (leash pulling, lunging, jumping).
