Q & A Session with a Certified Professional Dog Trainer & Behaviour Consultant

For anyone who has questions, concerns, or is confused by conflicting advice, book a 90-min virtual chat session to get accurate, helpful and actionable advice.

All about Puppies (for pups of 2-6 months) or Dealing with Adolescent Dogs (6 to 24 months)

Everything you need to know and all your questions answered.  Ditch the books and stop surfing the net!  We will cover it all together; how to live peacefully with a new pup, build the habits you want, and teach the skills you need.  In 4-6 sessions (virtual and in-person; sessions vary in length from 45 min-90 min), we will address management, house training, confinement (crate, pen, gates), proper socialization, skills, normal behaviours (like nipping!), habit formation, how dogs learn, and any special situations such as “kids & dogs” or multi-pet households. Package price: $1,300*.

For dogs who are overwhelmed by a group class environment or for owners who want to achieve faster results on your own schedule.  This program is tailored specifically to your goals and needs.

In 4-6 sessions (virtual and in-person; sessions vary in length from 45 min-90 min), we will address management, confinement (crate, pen, gates), skills, habit formation, proper socialization,  door manners, relaxation, play, enrichment, and any behaviours that you would like to address.  Package price: $1,300*.

Can you teach an old dog a new trick? Of course you can!


Behaviour Consultation & Resolution Package

Identify the problem, determine it’s triggers and devise a rehabilitation plan that will work. Emphasis is on empowering you to change your dog’s unwanted behaviour and prevent future problems.

In your first session, we will meet virtually (90 min) to fully scope the issue and get you started on your personal training plan.  In your 2 follow up sessions (virtual or in-person; each session is 45-60 min),  we address any issues, problems, and trouble spots as well as review and build any needed skills. Package price: $680*.
