In-Home Training
How it works:
- Pick a day and time that works for you (subject to trainer availability)
- Pay for a package of lessons
What is the cost?
- The cost of the actual training lessons vary according to package price. Please check out the options by clicking on the button above.
- We have a service area of 20 linear miles (one way) without additional mileage charge
- The addidiontal mileage fee is $0.66 per mile outside of the service area. So you get the first 20 miles, then it is .66 cents a mile past that
- You will be invoiced for any extra mileage prior to the lesson
What can we cover in these lessons?
We can tailor your lessons to your needs, but generally, we cover manners, basic obedience and resolving behavioral concerns like digging, barking, not coming when called, etc. These lessons are not appropriate for fear / reactivity/ aggression.
How many lessons will it take?
There are many factors that affect how quickly and easily the training works for your dog. Some of those are:
- Age: older dogs have been practicing bad habits for a longer time and will take a few more lessons to help them form new habits
- Household environment: We will do our best to set you up with the skills you need in order to make your training work more successfully at home. You will receive written information and occasionally videos to help. It is important that the suggested changes your trainer recommends are implemented in your home, otherwise all the progress that has been made by your dog could potentially be undone. WE WANT YOU TO SUCCEED!
- The number of cues or issues to work through: we would like to say that we can work on it all at the same time, but since some issues are more complex than others, it may take more lessons to work through them all. Additionally, you have to have the basics down before you can move on to more advanced or complex skills.
What is your cancellation policy?
In-home training requires reserving a large block of time in the trainer's schedule. Cancellations leave large gaps in the trainer's schedule where they are not paid for the time. Due to this difficulty, we can't allow cancellations within a week of the lesson. You may cancel any lesson set for future dates (more than a week out) without penalty.
Do you take any kind of dogs?
As a general rule, we accept all breeds of dogs. We do not accept wolf hybrids.
