FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing for all services is as follows: Training: $80 per hour (per dog), and $40 for each additional dog; $40 per half-hour (per dog), and $20 for each additional dog. Walking: $36 per hour (per dog), and $18 for each additional dog; $18 per half-hour (per dog), and $9 for each additional dog.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
All services start with a free 'Meet & Greet' consultation, wherein I come to the client's home to meet them, their family, and their pup(s). I assess their particular situation -- if training or behavioral modification is required -- and find out precisely what the family wants to accomplish. Details concerning the dog's breed, sex, age, physical issues, allergies, likes and dislikes -- including aversion(s) to heat, cold, humidity, thunder, etc. -- are notated, and a schedule for services is determined. A customized guidance or tip sheet for the client and their family is created -- usually within a couple weeks -- which details how everyone involved should reinforce and otherwise support all training, as it's usually the humans who need to be (re)trained as well(!)
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 30 years of experience working with dogs, including training, behavioral modification, walking, feeding, and exercise monitoring (in cases wherein customers have a fenced-in area where their pups can run free for exercise).
