New Puppy/ Early Socialization – 9 Lessons
$1350
- Start off on the right foot! Appropriate for starting as early as 8 weeks old. Private lessons at your home. Proper early puppy socialization and handling between 8-12 weeks of age is imperative to a stable dog. Insufficient early socialization causes hard-to-reverse changes in brain function and anatomy, which leads to temperament problems later in life, such as fear and aggression towards people. Proper socialization training early is much easier to do than to try to fix these behavior problems down the road. This is also the window for teaching the puppy OFF- leash training!

Special Needs/Anxiety/Fear – 12 Lessons
$1740
- This package addresses what I am seeing so much of in the wake of Covid. If your puppy or adult dog is suffering from fears of people, normal everyday occurrences, and leash reactivity this can drastically affect their (and your) quality of life. To overcome this takes lots of time, practice and especially patience with desensitization, counter conditioning and confidence building. I work one on one during our weekly lessons with you and your dog, giving you the tools and homework each week to practice.
- Lessons run up to 60 minutes.
