Current Services:
1. "Meet your Match!": With the great variety of dog breeds, types, and sources out there, a "perfect match" is possible! However, for most dog owners choosing a new dog or puppy is unfortunately a decision based on emotion versus logic and experience. This very often results in struggles that can truly be avoided! Now offering personalized help choosing your next furry family member. Set yourself and your future pup up for success -- draw from our vast experience with all life stages of dozens and dozens of breeds and mixes, as well as breeders and rescues, to find your perfect match!
2. Consultation: 60 minutes. Information will be gathered about your dog or puppy, video viewed if suggested, and recommendations made that can be put into practice right away. You will get a feel for how we will teach your pup and modify undesirable behaviors in subsequent training sessions.
3. Live Virtual Training: Individualized training done via FaceTime and/or Zoom. No need to be tech-savvy; we do all the work getting you set up! We work one-on-one with you, showing all tips and behaviors with a demo dog, and helping you do the same with your own dog as we observe, with real-time input and tips.
4. In-Person Training: Individualized training that primarily takes place in and near your home. We will work one-on-one with you and your dog, teaching your dog and showing you how to use positive reinforcement to build new desired behaviors or to modify existing undesirable behaviors.
5. Puppy Socials and Daycare/Socialization: All day care and socialization of your puppy, best started before 14 weeks. Mindful introduction to and playtime with other puppies and new people. Among the benefits: exercise and social skills with other pups, experience getting in and out of crate, playing and resting away from home, overall confidence-building;
6. Overnight Care: Overnight/extended care of your dog, in my home. Great socialization opportunities!
7. Board & Train: Same as overnight care but also receives training throughout the day, in short, fun sessions. Material covered depends on what your dog has already learned (typical behaviors are attention, sit/down on voice and hand cues, “place”, come when called, wait at doors and gates) and new behaviors you’d like taught.
