How It Works
Initial Consultation
All clients start with a intake questionnaire then an in-person initial consultation (75 minutes) at $150. We will discuss your training goals, concerns and will take an in-depth look at your dog’s history, behavior and routine. You will leave this consultation with some things to get started on and my training plan recommendation based on your goals.
Book Your Training Plan
Each training plan is tailored to you and your dog’s situation and goals, and includes a variety of interventions including: learning new skills, management, enrichment, adjusting schedules or routines and more. This is always a working plan, we adjust as needed and work at your dog’s pace. In certain circumstances, I may recommend working with a veterinary behaviorist or a variety of specialists.

Private Coaching
$140/session (60-minute sessions); save when you buy a pack
In-home sessions, where I consult, teach and coach you with your dog. I typically recommend starting with 4 sessions, about 1-2 weeks apart to assess, learn skills, apply those skills and make modifications as needed. Coaching is great for those excited to be involved in the training process and have time to practice skills regularly to progress. This is also a great option for dogs displaying aggression or fear towards strangers or other animals.
Everyone starts with a 75-minute initial consultation: $150
One Coaching Session: $140
4-Pack: $550
8-Pack: $1080
In addition to instruction, coaching includes:
Training handouts and instructions between sessions
Email and text support between sessions and a month after your last scheduled session
-
The number of sessions depends on so many things. We focus on 1-2 goals at a time, where I typically recommend 4 sessions in order to evaluate, teach & practice skills, then apply those skills in various settings.
If you have several training goals to address, we can always add more sessions.
-
Between our 60-minute training sessions, you’ll practice the skills we go over. While it varies based on specific training goals, practicing skills is best done in short sessions —usually around 10-15 minutes daily.
MotherHound Training Package
$1600 package; nine trainer sessions and three coaching sessions (60-minute sessions)
This is the best opportunity to get consistent, expert training without a huge time commitment on your end. 12-session package including nine sessions where I train one-on-one with your dog and three sessions with your participation to learn and transfer skills. Trainer sessions are typically scheduled 2-3 times a week over about a month with coaching sessions scheduled at the beginning, middle and end of the package.
This training package also includes:
Written and video training updates of your dog during training sessions
Training handouts and instructions between sessions
Email and text support between sessions and a month after your last scheduled session
-
Yes, and I often do! In addition to an excellent option for training, many find this to be a great mid-day activity or enrichment for their dogs.
-
No problem! As long as I have some space to work with your dog and won’t disrupt you. Depending on our training goals, we may leave the house for our session.
You are welcome to observe and ask questions while I’m there.
-
The training package isn’t right for every dog or situation — particularly in cases of human and/or stranger-directed aggression. However, after working together through coaching sessions, we may be able to transition to the training package.
