How I Work
It all starts with your goals. We can work in the following formats based on your needs, availability, and problem type.
If you have any questions about what format is best suited for you and your pup, please schedule a free 15-minute phone intake via my scheduling page or get in touch!
Training Formats
-
What it is: Private training is a great option for the DIYer who wants to have hands-on involvement in the training process. Through weekly training meetings, I will give you step-by-step coaching and support through the training process. You’re at the wheel. Private training is a great option for those on a budget. Private training can be conducted remotely if it’s more convenient for those outside of my service radius.
How much support: You will receive a weekly handout summarizing what we have covered, a homework assignment, and optional reading material to better understand your dog. When booking packages, unlimited support between sessions is available via WhatsApp Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.

What it is: Day training is when the trainer does the hands-on training. You can be around during the training or not, whatever suits you! I will come to your home and train your pup. Once training is complete, I’ll show you the ropes on how to get and maintain the behavior. Day training is a great option for the busy go-getter that wants a well-trained dog.
How much support: Owners will be provided with a progress report following each session and weekly homework assignments to keep their pup on track. Typical packages include an hour-long in-person transfer session at the conclusion of training and a virtual 30-minute follow-up session. When booking packages, unlimited support between sessions is available via WhatsApp Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.

What it is: Similar to day training, during a walk and train, the trainer does the hands-on training. Walk and train is an excellent way to get your pup out of the house for a potty break and some exercise while you are at work and have them gain some new skills while they’re at it. I will come to your home to do a combination of walking and training. Once training is complete, I’ll show you how to get and maintain the behavior. If your pup is the kind of kid that needs recess -- walk and train is for you.

What it is: Board and train is like dropping your bike off at the shop rather than fixing it yourself. I will train your dog while boarding them in my home. Typical board and trains last between two to four weeks. Board and train is a perfect option for you if you have an upcoming trip or busy life.
How much support: You will receive twice weekly progress reports while your pup is boarded. You are always welcome to check in via WhatsApp regarding your pup's status or to stop by and visit them. Typical packages include an hour-long in-person transfer session at the conclusion of training and two virtual 30-minute follow-up sessions.
