Single Session Lessons

Single Session Lessons

  • Trainer will come to your home, discuss the issue identified and your goals, make recommendations, and work with you and your dog on the identified issue.
  • Sessions are one hour in length, and the price is $125.00 per single session (price includes GST).

Client Coaching Packages

Single Session Lessons

  • Trainer will work on the identified issue(s) together with you and your dog.
  • Many behavioral issues are influenced by the way you and your dog relate to each other and interact within the relationship.  Because you live with the dog, you are able to exert a great degree of influence on the dog and manage their environment and activities on a day to day basis. The trainer will work with you and your dog, and teach you techniques to help successfully resolve your dog’s issue(s).
  • Client coaching packages include initial consultation, explanation of program and techniques, practice of techniques and follow up sessions to fine tune the skills learned and discuss how to continue progressing with the dog.
  • Costs vary depending on the issues identified and the number of sessions required to meet your goals, which will be determined with the client during the initial consultation (usually between 3-5 sessions are suitable). Sessions are one hour in length, and the price depends on number of sessions in the package --$300.00 for 3 sessions, $500.00 for 5 sessions, etc.  (Price includes GST)

Professional Dog Training Packages

Single Session Lessons

  • Trainer works with your dog.
  • Utilize our professional skills to train your dog quickly and conveniently. Because we do this type of work as a profession, it is beneficial to have us apply our skills, knowledge, and experience to your dog’s situation and work directly with the dog, teaching the skills required and varying the conditions as needed. (This option may not be appropriate for all situations/issues.)
  • Professional dog training packages include initial consultation session, dog training sessions (twice per week is ideal), and weekly client transfer sessions where the client is taught how to maintain the behaviors their dog has learned and continue working with them.
  • Costs vary depending on the issues identified and the number of sessions required to meet your goals, which will be determined with the client during the initial consultation (Minimum of 6 sessions).
  • Sessions are one hour in length, and the price depends on number of sessions in the package - $600.00 for 6 sessions, $700.00 for 7 sessions, etc. (Price includes GST)
