Three ways to train, and the specialties and methods delivered through them. If a different one suits your dog better, I will say so.
Prices are published because you deserve to know what this costs before you call. The full price list, from the evaluation to each package, is on the dog training prices page.
Program 01
I train your dog where they are most comfortable, in your home.
Starting at $700
Program 02
My own program, and a ladder rather than a one-off: five days of daily training in your home, then the steps that follow it.
Starting at $1,600
My own program
Program 03
Advanced dog training, where I take your dog in for up to 3 weeks.
Starting at $3,600
In my home, not a kennel
A phone consultation works as an initial interview. We talk about what your dog is doing, what you want to change, and roughly how I would approach it through training. If the plan sounds right we can book a start date, or I may ask for an evaluation so I can look at your dog properly first.
An evaluation means I come to your home and we talk face to face about your dog and your goals. It is the right call when the behavior is extreme or the living situation is unusual, because I want to see the behavior myself rather than hear it described.
An evaluation is $100. That $100 rolls into your overall fee if you go ahead with training, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
These are problems, not separate packages. You pick the problem you are dealing with, and we solve it through one of the programs above: in-home privates, Kick Start, or board and train. Puppy training is the exception and stands on its own.

Fitted, conditioned, and taught to you as a communication tool, at a level your dog barely notices. I use the words e-collar or remote collar, because that is what the tool is.
Delivered through a program above
B-08
Calm exposure at a distance your dog can handle, so it learns to watch the world go by and recover. Not forced greetings with every dog on the block.
Delivered through a program above
B-09
Threshold and door manners, lift and lobby behavior, hallway greetings, settling while people pass outside, and visitor management at a shared entrance.
Delivered through a program above
Call and describe what your dog is doing. That conversation is usually enough for me to point you at the right program.
