Behavior Consultations

Our trainers are known throughout the dog community for expert behavior consultations, evaluating the whole dog to help families develop training plans individualized to their specific behavior problems and home environment.

Behavior Consultations include two 1-hour private consultations with a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner who will work with you to design a training plan specifically for you and your dog. During your initial hour consultation we will gather a behavioral history, observe and evaluate your dog(s), outline basic management and safety guidelines, and begin your training plan. During this appointment, a second appointment will be scheduled within 1-2 weeks to assess progress and work together to develop the next steps of your training plan.

We can help overcome behavior problems such as:

  • leash reactivity
  • anxiety and fear issues
  • aggression towards people or animals
  • excessive barking
  • noise phobias
  • attention seeking
  • and more.

Details:

  • Two 1-hour private consultations held 1-2 weeks apart: $175 per hour session
  • After the two initial consultations, follow up private behavior lessons are $100 an hour.
  • Payment is required at time of registration to hold your appointment. Thank you for understanding that appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours notice have prevented others from scheduling and that you forfeit your payment.
  • In-home appointments available for current clients within 5 miles of our training center.
