How My Services Work
The Initial Consultation and Training Sessions:
- Initial Consultation
- At the initial consultation we discuss:
- your goals for your dog
- your answers to the behavior questionnaire
- the order in which we will address each behavior issue
- homework to do before the next session
- The initial consultation is 1.5 hours long and costs $300*.
- Training Sessions
- We come to your home, because it is important to see your dog’s behavior in their environment.
- We will meet for a one hour session.
- At the end of the session you will be assigned homework to complete for that week.
- Each training session is 1 hour long and costs $200* per hour.
- Please note: The number of sessions needed depends on the complexity of your pet’s case, the length of time your dog has been engaging in the behaviors, the time you devote to training your dog during the week, and if we need to speak to your vet or other professionals. It is best that we start working with you to get to know you and your pet in order to give you an estimate on the number of sessions.
*Payment is due at the time of service.
