*COVID-19 Update: At this time, all services are available via Tele-Session only.
EVALUATION
In order to determine your and your dog's needs, it is necessary to gather all pertinent information such as your dog's temperament, living environment, history, health, exercise level, diet, relationship to you, and social skills with others. This service includes an interview with you and your family, observation of your dog, completion of the C-BARQ questionnaire, and a written summary report. After necessary information is gathered, we collaborate to create a customized training plan that will help you reach your goals.
PRIVATE IN-HOME TRAINING
This program is customized to your needs and requires an initial evaluation. We work together via individual or packaged sessions to educate you and your dog, and then help you to develop skills and strategies necessary to occupational balance and improved health. Sessions are completed via telesession or your home environment, which assures that both you and your dog are able to reach your goals effectively and conveniently. The number and frequency of sessions is determined during the initial evaluation.
SLEEP-AWAY TRAINING
*In-home evaluation required*
This is a comprehensive developmental program for puppies or a therapeutic rehabilitation program for dogs with anxiety disorders, aggression issues, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. After meeting for an evaluation to discuss your concerns, needs, and determine appropriate fit for the program, your dog will come to stay with me in my home for the training period. The length of the training period is determined during the evaluation, as this depends on your unique situation. During your dog's stay, he or she will be educated and rehabilitated with a customized program that may include development of skills in obedience, self-regulation, environmental socialization, social interaction with dogs and/or people, and coping strategies for stress and anxiety. Because your dog (or dogs) will be the only student(s) during the training period, you can rest assured knowing that he or she will be safe and fully attended to. The program is completed by a private session at home the day your dog finishes training. Weekly sessions thereafter are required to ensure that learned behaviors and habits are transferred to your environment. Please contact if you are interested in setting up an evaluation or learning more about this service.
ADOPTION CONSULTATION
If you are interested in adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue, but are not sure what type of dog will be right for your family, or are unsure about how to evaluate a dog's temperament prior to adoption, we can meet to discuss your needs and help you find the right fit. This program may also include work to introduce your dog to current pets, family members, and the environment, as well as to help you establish a daily routine that supports the adopted dog's transition into your home.
