FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My single session fee is $125. A four session Obedience Program is $550. A five session Puppy Kindergarten Program or a five session Anxiety and Fear Program is $625. Payment plans are available. I will provide free training support via phone, text or email for the life of your dog. If you adopted your dog from a rescue or shelter a portion of your paid fees will be donated to that shelter.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will first conduct a free phone consultation where I will learn all I can about your needs for you and your dog. This will allow me to provide a training program built specifically to you and your dog's needs. I will also provide you with all of the information that you feel you need to know about myself and my training methods which are force free and positive reinforcement. We will then decide together the type and length of training that will be best suited for your dog. We will then set up an appointment for your first training session in your home. Hopefully everyone in the home can attend this first session. I will also at that time give you insight in training that you can begin before the first session. The first session will begin by going back over the information that was gained in the phone consultation with everyone in attendance. This will ensure that all of us are on the same page. As I begin to work with your dog I will begin including everyone in attendance to participate as well. This will allow you to learn and be comfortable with the training homework that will be needed to achieve your desired behavior in your dog. Everyone's participation on a consistent basis is the key to a successful dog training program.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my training and certificate from the FernDog Trainer Academy. I also attend additional seminars and programs to pursue continuing education. I am a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.
