FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have numerous programs that are customized for your particular needs. I offer in-home training as well as remote training. Programs are discounted from my single session hourly rate and subsequent memberships are discounted further so you can maintain your successes as well keep your dog mentally stimulated.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I like to have a detailed half hour phone consultation where I can gather information about your dog, our goals and answer any questions you have. Next, we establish how to accomplish those goals using the most up to date scientific teaching canine methodology. We choose your program and get you set up with a start date. I also give you immediate tips on what to start doing so you can be working before we meet.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am Certified CPDT-KA in Canine Training and have an M.A. degree in math. So I approach behavioral science and dog training with analytical thinking and translate complex concepts into practical guidance that real guardians can actually use. I have completed over 700 hours of continuing education in behavioral science, learning theory, ethology, neuroscience, and canine cognition and have a genuine passion for understanding how animals and people actually learn. I am a member of Pet Professional Guild, IAABC, AKC, and APDT.
