Private Consultations

Private consultations are designed to meet your personalized goals. After filling out a detailed questionnaire I get to work preparing a personalized training plan for you, we work together to create a training plan that fits into your lifestyle.

Private sessions are perfect for those who work best in a quiet uninterrupted environments. These sessions can either take place within your home, public outdoor space or at our indoor facility.

Some of the many benefits of private sessions include but are not limited too:

  • Allows for multiple pets in home to be trained.

Take and Train Program

Basic obedience/ General skills: 4-6 session packages 

Take and Trains are great for the busy person who would like their dog to learn new skills, continue working on previously learned cues or just get out of the house and work their body and mind. I will pick up your dog for a one hour session 1-2x per week, I will safely transport your dog to my training facility or to an outdoor location (depending on training plan) and work with your dog according to a training plan we set up together beforehand. You will receive video footage from our session as well as weekly written progress reports with details on how to continue this learning at home.

Take and trains can be utilized for :

  • Puppy manors.

  • Basic or advanced obedience skills.

  • Leash/ walking skills.

  • Intro to agility, body awareness exercises and training games.

  • So much more!

  • Fully personalized plans are available.

  • Leash reactivity (Prior sessions with owner are required)
