In Home Behavioral Consults
Everyone is required to start with the in home behavioral consult and training session. Private in home training is far superior to board and train as it places minimum stress on the dog. They are able to learn more effectively and the work transfers immediately to improved behaviors in the home. These consults are 2 hours and length and the fee for the session is $300. There is an additional fee for each additional dog, depending on issues. This does not include fees for travel outside the Brevard area.
During the in home consult I do a thorough assessment of the dog(s) and their needs, management options, current training practices and the equipment being used. I then formulate a plan, explain it to you and start the work with you and the dog(s). All of our training methods are based on current scientific methods. I also include a set of training reference papers that I have written for your reference. Also included in the fee is a 15 minute follow up phone conversation.
Private Instruction
We help teach you how to shape your dog’s behaviors and train for more reliable obedience work. This option is available to clients who have completed their behavioral consultation. The fee for a one-hour session is $135 and can be done at your home, virtually or the location of our choice. We also provide AKC Canine Good Citizen semi-private work and testing.
Daily Training
We do the work on a daily basis, training your dog for you, helping you attain faster results. This is a great way to get some traction on your issues with your dog, and makes training improve more quickly. We can help with issues like pulling, jumping, recalls, and obedience work. You will be involved in weekly transition sessions to show you the progress, and transfer those results to you. Call us for more information about our convenient and customized training packages.
