Dog Behavior Problems & Private Training Packages
Each private training package includes:
- An initial 60 minute consultation get you help ASAP – either in-person at our facility or virtually, you choose!
- Two to four hours of additional hours of support with your dog for the duration of your package, broken up into 30 or 60 minute sessions depending on the package.
- The option to utilize in-person and/or virtual sessions to maximize your support hours and your success
- Written materials, handouts, goal-setting notes and video review, as necessary
- A training plan that makes sense, is humane and effective, fits with your lifestyle and that you’ll feel comfortable and confident doing (our job is to decrease your stress, not throw you into the lion’s den!)
- We do not use aversive methods. This means we will not correct your dog, ask you to use a pronged collar, choke chain or shock collar. In fact, we do not allow these on the premises and enjoy helping folks figure out what gear works best for them. Always be sure to ask your prospective trainer about methodology. What happens if they get it wrong? What happens if they get it right?
