In-Home Dog Training

Training sessions with you and your pup.

Problem Solving
Starting at $160 for a consultation and $150 for follow up lessons

Just like people, dogs have issues.. and it is completely normal. Did you know that most of the behaviors that annoy us are actually normal dog behaviors? Things like jumping, barking, counter surfing and pulling on leash are all normal behaviors to our dogs and it can be super frustrating to them that we don't appreciate their skills!

Starting with a consultation, we will discuss the issues you are facing, your dog's routine and your expectations. I will then develop a plan to help you and your dog reach those goals together. Our lessons will focus on teaching alternative behaviors which are more socially acceptable to humans as well as ways to help your dog practice things they like in a safe way; like finding a sandbox to dig in like a treasure chest instead of just creating holes all over the yard.

Behavior Modification for aggression, fear, anxiety, reactivity
Starting at $200 for a 1-1.5 hour consultation, follow up lessons starting at $160.00

Sometimes, we all have BIG feelings.. even our dogs. Those big feelings are usually the result of genetics and environment but at times can be dangerous to your dog or those around you. When a dog is reactive to something, they are trying to tell us about those big feelings. Unfortunately for our dogs, humans are not the best at taking subtle hints and they have to escalate to things that really get our attention like barking, lunging, or even biting. Yikes!

We will start with a consultation to explore your dog's history, triggers, daily routine, and any past incidents we don't want to repeat. At the consultation I will observe your dog safely and watch for motivators, frustration tolerance, as well as any additional triggers. During training sessions, we will work on healthier coping mechanisms, reducing fear, anxiety and stress which drive reactivity, and finding fun ways to build your relationship. Especially when your dog has tried to bite or has bitten you, it is critical to repair that bond. We will discuss your goals and how we can try to get there together so you and your dog can enjoy life- I am here to help!

Learning How to Live with People
Starting at $500

Getting a new puppy is a big adventure for everyone and with this program, you can be sure to get all the animals at home started off on the right foot (or paw). Over the course of four sessions, each lasting an hour, your puppy will learn how to focus on you when asked, what to do for attention instead of jumping, start to develop impulse control skills, and begin to learn basics such as ‘sit' and ‘down'. You will learn how to set up the home to succeed at potty training, how to read your dog's body language, and how to communicate clearly- without fear, force, or coercion!

You will receive homework and handouts after every sessions as well as help fitting harnesses and finding toys for enrichment to burn off that puppy energy.
