How do I pay for my program?
Choose your program and use the “Send your details” button to tell me about you and your dog. The form only collects your details; it does not book a session. I’ll reach out personally to discuss your program and arrange a date and time. No payment is collected through that form. I’ll explain payment details when we arrange your program.
What payment options do you accept?
Cash, Zelle, Venmo, and credit cards. I’ll provide the details for your preferred payment method when we arrange your program.
How does the $65 evaluation credit work?
Enroll in Accelerated Off-Leash, Reactivity & Confidence, Ultimate Off-Leash, or Complete Transformation within 14 days of your evaluation, and your $65 evaluation payment is applied toward the package cost. The credit cannot be used for Puppy Foundations, Day Training, or individual lessons.
How do I enroll my puppy?
Choose Puppy Foundations and send your puppy’s details. I’ll reach out to arrange your first session and help your family get started with four private sessions for $499.
How do I choose a program?
Puppies can enroll directly in Puppy Foundations. If you’re unsure what your dog needs, start with a $65 evaluation and hands-on training session. I’ll help you decide whether a package or a few individual lessons would be the best fit for your dog and goals.
How does the Reactivity & Confidence evaluation work?
This program is for challenging reactivity that needs more support than one or two lessons. An evaluation is required before enrolling. If you enroll within 14 days of your evaluation, it counts as lesson one of your eight lessons, and the $65 you paid is applied toward the $1,299 package cost.
What is the difference between the off-leash programs?
Accelerated Off-Leash is for dogs who already have a solid baseline and are looking to improve obedience, recall, and off-leash skills. It includes six private lessons with weekly coaching. Ultimate Off-Leash is for more challenging dogs with severe reactivity or other behavior-modification needs. Its twelve private lessons provide twice-weekly coaching to work on those behaviors alongside obedience and off-leash progression.
Do I need to practice between lessons?
Yes. Your dog will not progress if you do not practice at home. Lessons teach you the steps; practicing between sessions is what helps your dog learn and build reliable habits.
Is equipment included?
Adult programs include a $330 training equipment kit: Mini Educator E-Collar, Comfort Contact Pad, elevated place bed, and training ball. E-collar equipment is included when appropriate for both dog and handler; not every team is suitable for one. Puppy Foundations includes a $100 puppy training kit with an elevated place bed and training ball.
What if I already have an e-collar or other training equipment?
If you already have suitable training equipment, we’ll deduct our cost of that equipment from your program price. For e-collars, we strongly recommend the Mini Educator by E-Collar Technologies. Cheaper e-collars are not suitable for the type of training we provide. We’ll review your existing equipment before confirming the deduction.
What if I only need help with one or two issues?
A few private lessons may be a better fit than a full program. Start with an evaluation and we’ll work out what you need.

Day Training may be a better fit. I work with your dog, get the repetitions in, then guide you through a short transfer session so you can maintain the skills at home.
