Training Services

I am proud to offer the following services:

  • Virtual Private Dog Training Lessons!

    One on One Private Lessons via Zoom to meet you and your dog's schedule without having to leave home!   We can customize these one on one training sessions to meet the needs of you and your dog!  Your whole family can participate if you like!

  • Zoom has many advantages!  Your dog gets to work in the environment they are comfortable in, which results in faster learning (no other dogs distracting them).  Also, I can see what is specifically happening at home that you might like to change.  It is online school for dogs!!!:)

  • Basic Training / Manners 

    Here we work on the basics like sit, down, focus,  impulse control (leave it), loose leash walking, come when called etc....  We can also include behaviors!  Such as jumping, chewing, puppy biting, potty training or marking, barking, bolting out the door etc....

  • Intermediate Training 

    Here we take our basic training skills to the next level by adding distance, duration and tons of distractions!  By doing this, you can take your dog even more places!  We also add a few more like Heel, and Go to your Place!

  • Advanced Training

    Here we will add more skills but as in Intermediate, we will make things even more challenging to build our relationship and solidify our communication.  We can also add more challenging tasks that you may want your dog to do.

  • Tricks

    Tricks are a great way for a dog to have fun, reduce stress and build a long lasting relationship with you!  And....at this time, if you learn 10 tricks successfully, you can submit a video to a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and earn your AKC Tricks Dog Title!

  • Canine Good Citizen / Therapy Dog Preparation 

    I have over 10 years experience as a therapy dog handler with both Pet Partners and Therapy Dogs International.  I would love to help you and your dog learn what it takes and prepare you for an evaluation to become a therapy dog team!

  • Rally Introduction 

    I have titled one of my dogs in Rally and am working with another.  It is possible to submit a virtual video if you are interested in earning an American Kennel Club (AKC) Novice Title!

  • Senior Dog Training                                                                                                               

    I like to list this because no dog is too old to have fun training!   It engages their brain and makes them proud!  Puzzles are a great way for them to continue being challenged even if they aren't up for the BIG walk or run in the morning!   I am also pretty experienced in ideas to help your senior dog navigate slippery floors, blindness, deafness etc... 

  • Consultation                                                                                                                    

    This can be anything you like from researching what type of dog might be best for you or your family to why does my dog do this?  How can I be the person my dog wants me to be?

My rates:

  • FREE 30 minute Introductory Lesson ...my gift to you and your dog.

  • Single 30 minute lessons $55 each

  • Multiple 30 minute lessons (4 or more) $40 each

  • Hour lessons are an option, but I find the dog often loses focus before the hour is up.

I look forward to working with you and your dog!!!
