Who doesn’t love a sweet, adorable little puppy? But puppies are also a lot of work, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. You want to do the right thing for your new addition, but you’re not always sure what that is, and the sleep deprivation doesn’t help!
Let us take some of the pressure off. We’ll guide you and your little one through the rougher patches of puppyhood so you both can thrive.

The Puppy Starter Package
(package of four sessions bundled together for a reduced fee)
Just got your brand new puppy and feeling overwhelmed? Our Puppy Starter Package is designed to help you get off on the right foot (or paw!).
In your personalized Puppy Starter Sessions, we will go over all the things a new puppy parent needs to know, including:
Socialization: When is the best time for socialization — and what good, safe socialization really entails.
Basic training: The most important skills to focus on first with a brand new puppy.
House-training: How to create a consistent schedule so that you minimize accidents in the house.
Problem-solving: Is your puppy chewing things she shouldn’t? Is her play biting out of control? We can help!
Prevention: We’ll show you how can you set your puppy (and yourself) up for success, so you don’t encounter problems later down the line.
Plus your personalized training plan just for your puppy! Because every puppy is an individual.
The Puppy Starter Package is $450 for 4 sessions of 60 minutes each, either in-person or virtual.
Before You Get Your Puppy:

(one-time session with ongoing support available as needed)
Are you thinking of getting a puppy but have some questions or concerns? We would love to help! Some examples of what we can cover in your Pre-Puppy Checklist Session include:
Choosing what type of dog is right for you
Guidance in finding a responsible rescue/shelter or a responsible breeder
What to get in preparation for a puppy
Tips for transporting your puppy home
Training exercises you can do with your new puppy
Tips on house-training, socialization, and more — all designed to set you up for success before your puppy even comes home.
The Pre-Puppy Checklist Session is $130 and conducted virtually.
Do you have a teenage rebel on your hands?
When puppies hit adolescence — often around 6 months or so — things can get a little tricky!
Adolescent dogs often seem to “forget” all that they have learned. Many times they no longer respond consistently when you ask them to do things, and overall they become more independent.
If you are struggling with your newfound “rebellious” teen, please reach out! We love working with this age group. We are happy to offer guidance, support, and training to keep your puppy on track to becoming a well-balanced and well-mannered adult.
Standard Training Services
-
Initial Consultation
All training services, in-home or virtual, start with an initial consultation.
The initial consultation is a virtual meeting of up to 90 minutes in length, in which we will go over your dog’s history, behavior, any issues you’re currently having with your dog, and what your training goals are. You will also get a brief introduction to our training methods. After the consult, you will receive a thorough, personalized post-consult plan sent to your e-mail with immediate steps you can take before our first session — plus any additional resources if needed.
The initial consultation is $150. -
Virtual Training
Virtual training is highly effective — all you need is a good internet connection, a quiet space to work with your dog, and a webcam. There are a lot of benefits to going virtual: you can work with us from anywhere, your dog doesn’t have to get all worked up about a new person in the house, and scheduling is more flexible.
Virtual training sessions are 60 minutes long. After each training session you will receive a personalized post-session summary. This includes a recording of your session, plus personalized resources and guidance that will help you keep up the training between sessions, so your dog can progress more quickly.
Virtual training is $130 per 60-minute session.
