FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All new clients start with a 90-minute intake consultation ($150), which includes one follow-up session. After that, individual sessions are $75/hour. The total number of sessions depends on your goals and your dog’s needs, but I also offer bundled packages at a 25% discount.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a 90-minute intake session where I get to know you, your pup, and your household. We'll discuss your current challenges, your goals, and what day-to-day life looks like. From there, I’ll create a personalized training plan tailored to your dog and your lifestyle. The intake includes a free follow-up session to help you get started with that plan and build momentum.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I specialize in puppy development and force-free, science-backed training. I’m a Fear Free Certified Professional, a Diamond Member of the Grisha Stewart Academy, and an active member of both the Pet Professional Guild (PPG) and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC). I’ve also studied with the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy and have completed a mentorship through Pet Harmony. Beyond formal education, I’ve spent years supporting new puppy parents in large online puppy communities offering practical, compassionate guidance through the ups and downs of early puppyhood. My methods are always force and fear-free, rooted in relationship-building and modern behavior science. I don’t just teach obedience, I help people and their puppies build a strong, trust-based partnership that lasts a lifetime.
