My Services.


In-home: I come to you, for added convenience, but also to see behaviors at the source. I also often meet clients at local dog parks or other public places. Dog parks are a great place to work on recall and leash reactivity/distractions (we do not go inside dog park while on leash!) Public places (if chosen wisely) can be a great place to work on real life situations such as greetings, etc.
$125 one session (sessions are one hour long)
$475 four sessions
$700 six sessions
The map to the right represents my general travel area for in home sessions. If you don't see your location on the map contact me and we can discuss options. I often make exceptions, but if I can't come to you, I'll do my best to find a positive trainer in your area!
