Introduction: Real Pet Behavior puts the fun back into training your pets either in your home, online or at our climate controlled facility located on 15 beautiful acres. With 10 certifications (including Karen Pryor Academy, Family Paws Parent Education, Fear Free Certified Professionals, Pat Miller Certified Dog Trainer , Victoria Stilwell Academy and The Association of Professional Dog Trainers) and counting we can provide all the skills your pet needs to become the family members you aways wanted them to be. We here at Real Pet Behavior love bringing families together with our force free training methods. We train by teaching your dog what to do opposed to training them what NOT to do. We create dogs that are excited to live by your rules contrary to dogs that live by your rules out of fear. This leads to a much happier environment during our classes, private training sessions and virtual consults. Plus, who doesn't like working with puppies!

Tara was fantastic with my dog. She helped me to work thru some barking issues we were having when people came over.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
By signing up for our newsletter online at RealPetBehavior.com you get the chance for discounts and specials throughout the year.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For virtual consults you will receive an email before our consult with a meeting code for Zoom. After our consult we will send you a behavior report and handouts relating to what we discussed. Email support is provided after. For classes we will set you up with a time and date for orientation and we will see you at our 1800 Sq.ft. facility located on 15 acres. An email will be sent of forms we need filled out (liability, vaccines ect.). Our classes are modular, meaning if you miss one don't sweat it, we rotate them and you will have another chance in the near future to make it up. For private consultations we will send you a set of forms we need filled out (liability, vaccines, ect.) then we will meet either at your home or in our 1800 Sq.ft. facility. After our consult you will receive a behavior report via email and handouts that go over everything we discussed. Email support is provided after.
