Standard Behavior Course:
This program begins with a live and interactive online class. Here you will learn the following:
- Basic dog psychology and what drives the behaviors
- How to identify the signals your dog sends you
- Human behavior and body language and how it relates to your dog’s behavior
- The rules of natural discipline and how to implement them.
There is ample opportunity to ask questions and there is open discussion at the end. You will also be given “homework” to explore your new way of interacting with your dog. This class is followed by an in-home training session. This is where we work on your new skills together, refine them and address any additional issues. Once completed, your tool box will be full of everything you need to live a balanced life with your dog and return visits are rarely needed. Should you have follow up questions, you are free to contact me at any time. I am always happy to hear from you and answer them!
The final part of the course is a dietary consultation with recommendations following our appointment. See description below.
(Online Class is approx. 2 to 3 hours with between one and four attendees, home session is at least 3.5 hours to 4.5 hours)
Standard Behavior Course Fee: $475
–If additional home visits are necessary, they will be charged the discounted rate of $75 per hour
Online Behavior/Discipline Class Only
Sometimes the behaviors are mild enough that the online class will give a dog owner enough information to make the necessary changes. This has been VERY successful for many dog owners, but if you find afterwards that you need a hands on session then just pay the difference and we will schedule the home visit. As always, the answers to your follow up questions are just a text, email or phone call away.
Online Behavior/Discipline Class Fee: $159
HEALTHY EATING-Dietary Consultation with Recommendations Only:
While I do not pretend to be a veterinary nutritionist, I have been studying the canine diet and dog food manufacturing trends for over 16 years. A lot goes on behind the scenes and not all for the better. Some treats and supplements are not always the best for your dog either. I will share what I have learned and help you navigate your way to better dietary choices for your dog. Behavior and health go hand in hand; Healthy dogs live longer, happier lives and spend less time with the vet. Assistance is available for the aging dog as well. Let’s keep them feeling strong and vibrant!
Dietary Consultation with Recommendations Fee: $59
Rescue Foster Class
This class is designed to help dog fosters get their charges on the right path while easing the chaos in the foster parents’ home. No actual training is necessary, this class will just give you the skills to help put the dog in a better state of mind. This will help make adoptions more comfortable for everyone, but more importantly, more PERMANENT. Classes will be small, 5 to 15 attendees so everyone’s questions can be answered.
Dog Rescue Foster Class Fee:
To receive the extreme discount of $25 per person for this class you must be a registered and approved dog foster with a 501c3 rescue group. Classes with fewer than five participants will be rescheduled or added to other classes. You or your rescue may fill out the contact form for more information, and THANK YOU FOR FOSTERING!
