Consultation
During your consultation, we will discuss your training goals and review any skills that your dog already knows. I will observe your dog's behavior and learning style, and based on your training priorities, develop a customized training plan.
Sessions
Preparing for your pet’s first training session is simple, so don’t let it cause stress in your life! We prefer that all pet owners provide a leash and collar or harness, along with your pet’s favorite means of motivation. Whether that be their favorite treat, words of encouragement, or a special toy, motivation can encourage your pet throughout training. Come to your first session prepared with questions, an open mind and a positive attitude! At the end of each session, we will review the skills that we practiced and discuss the "homework" to work on before the next training session.
