 Initial Assessment in your Home 1.5 hours
Private lessons to focus on any bad manners or additional training in any category. We come to your home and assess what is going on and address how to manage and train the behaviors out of them. We can add structure to your routine, show you new activities and games for better interactions and stimulation along with reviewing all their poor habits. After our assessment typical two lessons covers most bad behaviors but a package of five is often recommended for the younger or reactive dogs who may need more practice and repetition.

If you have a reactive, aggressive or newly adopted dog you will need to get a Behavioral Assessment done first vs an Initial assessment is for dogs with no history of aggression and a known past. 

​Behavioral Assessment - 2 hours Saturdays
ANY ONE of the following behaviors:
Your dog is reactive on leash 
Your dog is reactive at guests
Your dog is reactive to other dog's
Your dog resource guards food/toys/you
Your dog got attacked at the dog park
New aggression with maturity
Fighting other animals/dogs in home
New rescue from the shelters, to help you get a better understanding of some of their past experiences. ​I am here to help identify some of the reasons these behaviors may be happening and help you set up the best plan for rehabilitation.

Two Lessons 55min each
After our assessment a package of two lessons in your home or in the setting the concern is taking place is typically enough time to cover basic bad habits. If your dog is very reactive, nervous or a young puppy without previously done training it likely will take us five lessons to have everything polished. A few examples of behaviors we could work on: stay, eye contact, fetch, walking nicely on leash, greeting politely, leave it, drop it, heel walking (this needs a lot of practice at home and lessons may be spaced farther apart), recall, bed/place, hold down cue, emergency recall, how to let your dog greet other dogs while on leash properly and more.

Cancellation policy allows us to keep the rates where they are to combine visits in the same area. There will be a  ​50% charge on rescheduling any lesson if less than 3 business days are provided, no refunds under 24 hours.

​*No use of aversive tools will be tolerated. Also please note all lessons are final sale and no refunds will be issued.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to learn more about Positive Reinforcement and the psychology and body language of dogs; at their own pace. I enjoyed every minute of the course material and found it to be well organized and easy to follow.
