Training Pathways

Initial Consult - 60 minutes - $190

The first step in training together is a face-to-face meeting where I can get acquainted with you and your dog in your environment. We’ll have the opportunity to discuss your training goals and come up with a strategy for how to effectively address them while accommodating your lifestyle.


One-on-One Training and coaching - 1 hr -

$165 Per 1 session

$790 for 5 sessions

If you’re hoping to improve your training skills, get help with something specific, or learn how to train your dog on your own, this is a great option for you. These sessions are a chance to get personalized coaching on your technique as well as training strategy based on the challenges and advantages of your neighborhood. Sessions take place at your home or at a public location near you.

Day Training - 1 hr -

$165 per session

$790 for 5 sessions

If you have ambitious training goals but don’t have the time to implement them, this is a great option. I will come to you and work with your pup to install the desired behaviors and teach you how to reinforce what your dog has learned with me in a client handoff session once a week. Since your pup will be receiving training from me, the trainer, almost exclusively, these sessions are most effective if they occur 3 to 5 times a week.

 

How Our Intake & Onboarding Works

1. Initial Contact
Tell me your location, your dog’s behavioral/training goals, and any specific challenges.
This ensures that I can check that your needs are within my expertise and you’re located within my service area—or that we can work together virtually if location isn’t relevant.

2. Compatibility Check
I’ll respond—usually within a business day—to confirm we’re a good fit.
You can then:

  • Book a free 15-minute phone call, or

  • Schedule an initial consultation directly.

3. Optional Phone Call
If you choose this call, we’ll discuss your needs in more detail and then set your first session date.

4. Initial Consultation — 1 Hour
We typically start at your home (or virtually), where distractions are minimal (unless home is the most triggering environment) to review:

  • Your dog’s history behavioral and otherwise and what you’ve tried so far.

  • Your training and behavioral goals.

  • Together, we’ll create an initial strategy and begin training your top-priority skills immediately.

  • My aim: give you clear, actionable steps so you can confidently practice between sessions.

6. Ongoing Training Plan
After the first session, I most often recommend a weekly training cadence to keep progress consistent and ensure you’re practicing the right things.
Most clients work with me for about six sessions, though this varies depending on training goals, behavior complexity, how motivated your dog is, and how often you’re able to practice with your pup.

7. Long-Term Goal
My goal is to help you and your dog achieve lasting, reliable behavior through clear, effective training—done in the most time-efficient way possible so you can enjoy a lifetime of ease and connection together.
