​
Pricing
$480 for four 1 hour sessions in your home and/or out in the world.
For follow-up sessions you would receive the discounted price of $110/hr or $75/half hr. After the package is completed you can enroll your puppy in 45 minute hands-off Puppy Professional sessions too.
Puppy Professional
Let me do the work for you!
This package is for puppies 8-12 weeks old at the start of enrollment. I will work in your home or take your puppy out into the world (safely) for training and structured socialization.
​
Flexibility
We will meet in person for at least 15 minutes at the start of the first session, and after that you can be hands-off. Things you can do while I train with your puppy:
-
Run errands
-
Hang out with friends
-
Take a nap
-
Endless possibilities!
You can stay and watch the sessions too, but this package is intended for you to sit back and relax while I do the work. You will still receive a written summary and video footage of your puppy's training so that you can continue their training in between sessions.
​
Pricing
$480 for four 45 minute sessions in your home and/or out in the world. For follow-up sessions you would receive the discounted price of $110 per 45 minutes (hands-off), or $110/hr (hands-on), or $75/half hr (hands-on).
Which option is better?
Both are effective and equally good! Some people prefer to be part of the process the entire way and some people want a break from their puppies. Both require you to continue your puppy's training with daily homework assignments.
​
Primer can be a better option if:
-
You are seeking help for general, routine-based challenges like house training, chewing/destruction, separation training, nipping/biting, etc.
-
You are completely new to puppy ownership and want to learn the "whys and hows" of training.
-
You enjoy asking a lot of questions along the way (I love answering questions!)
-
You learn best by practicing hands-on.
​
Professional can be a better option if:
-
You are seeking help for skill-based scenarios like leash skills, handling, socialization, beginning puppy skills, crate training, etc.
-
You have a busy schedule and would benefit from your puppy being trained and pottied while you're away.
-
You don't necessarily care to know the "why" and simply want to know what to do and how to do it.
-
You have an easy time following how-to videos to maintain the training I do with your puppy.
​
