Intake Call

All services begin with an intake call.

During this virtual meeting, we’ll get to know each other and discuss in detail your dog’s health, history, challenges, and goals. You will receive a report via email of what we discuss, including any recommendations I give you. We will also plan out what services would work best for you and your dog. Intakes are 30-45 minutes long.

During private lessons, we will work together as a team: trainer, guardian, and dog. I’ll meet you at your home (or relevant location discussed beforehand). What we do will vary depending on what your dog needs, but oftentimes we’ll go for a walk together, plan out management for the home, discuss body language, and/or learn and practice skills. You, the dog guardian, will be learning every bit as much as your dog!

You will receive a session report detailing what we did, any recommendations I give you, and what to practice. If videos were taken during the session, you’ll receive those via email. Lessons are 60 minutes long.

Day Training

Day training is when I work one-on-one with your dog, and is multi-functional based on what your dogs needs. It may be like focused classroom time, where I’ll help your dog learn and practice new skills. If your dog is experiencing stress or big life changes (such as joining a new household, integrating with other people and animals in the home, or fear and reactivity), they may benefit from decompressing with a hike in the woods. If your dog needs socialization, the session may be a field trip or appropriate introduction to new places, people, situations, or animals.

For existing clients using long-term day training: day training lessons must be scheduled in conjunction with regular private lessons. I’m happy to discuss with you how often private lessons occur, though they must occur at minimum every 12 weeks. Private lessons are necessary for me to accurately gauge how the day training is translating to every day life, and ensures that your skills as a guardian advance along with you dog’s.

Veterinary Support

This service is for current clients only. The vet is a stressful place to be, and even more so for dogs who deal with fear, reactivity, or aggression. I can help reduce stress, advocate for specific handling of your dog, and make a plan for the visit.

I can coordinate with your veterinary team beforehand, help create a plan for the visit, and establish clear communication between everyone handling your dog. Using my extensive background in veterinary medicine, I can advocate for specific handling of your dog and assist in handling them when needed during the appointment. I’ll also be there as support for you, the guardian, to talk through concerns and make decisions about handling or relevant treatment during the visit.

Veterinary Support visits vary in length of time and price, as preparation for the visit and types of treatment vary widely. Please contact me for pricing.
