We'll start with a free 45-minute consultation to talk through your dog's history, your training goals, and how I can help. It's a chance for both of us to ask questions and determine if we're a good fit for each other. Afterward, I'll send a short summary and recommended training plan to review before deciding if you'd like to move forward.

1:1 coaching designed to make training last. You'll learn how to build behavior into your daily routine and respond effectively to new things that come up. Lessons move at your pace, with support in between.
Each series includes:
Written summaries with at-home practice exercises
Free between-session check-ins
Priority access to structured boarding when available.
The number of lessons we choose affects how much ground we can cover, from early skills to more complex behavior work. Below are examples of what each series might support:
3-lesson series | $400
For dogs without major behavior concerns who need help dialing in a few core skills. Common goals include:
Loose leash walking basics
Intro to leash communication
Foundation obedience (sit, down, place)
Engagement and handler focus
Structuring home routines (crate, thresholds, calm downtime)
5-lesson series | $650
Builds on the 3-lesson foundation with time to add complexity, shift environments, and increase reliability. We might also cover:
Strengthening recall
Calm greetings and door manners
Overexcitement, jumping, or arousal around triggers
Light leash reactivity or distraction struggles
7-lesson series | $850
Offers the most flexibility for dogs with bigger behavior patterns to shift or for owners wanting thorough coaching. In addition to the 5- series, we might work on:
Reactivity to people or dogs (mild to moderate)
Reliable recall across environments
Multi-dog dynamics at home
Settling around high arousal events or stimuli
Generalizing training in public spaces
Puppy fundamentals
Any of the above series can be tailored for young puppies. Common focus areas:
Crate and potty training
Leash introduction and early engagement
Exposure to new environments, dogs, and people
Calm greetings and prevention of jumping, guarding, or reactivity
For very young pups, lessons can be split into two shorter sessions if needed. Includes a free check-in once your dog is older to help you stay on track.
Want more time?
Additional 1-hour lessons are available at a discounted rate after completing a series.
All lessons are held in person.
1-hour sessions | $135
For returning clients or experienced handlers needing focused help. Useful for troubleshooting new issues, fine-tuning skills, or preparing for upcoming boarding. Includes a summary and practice recommendations.
Not intended as a standalone for new clients or broader behavior cases.
Add-on training during structured boarding | $35 / hour
Training sessions woven into your dog’s boarding stay. Sessions focus on clear skills like leash manners, calm separation, or engagement around distractions. Includes a short training report to help you reinforce at home. Only available to current boarding clients.
7-night board-and-train + follow-up lesson | $990
A one-week reset focused on building calmness, clarity, and training momentum.
Daily training targets foundation work tailored to your goals—usually leash work, engagement, calm home routines and behavior, exposure to manageable distractions, and basic obedience where needed.
Most owners who choose this program want to:
Get their dog focused and responsive before starting private lessons—many dogs leave this program ready to start private training at a more advanced level
Address scattered or overstimulated behavior, or specific problem behaviors while boarding
Lay groundwork for reliable training habits at home
Includes:
7 nights of structured boarding
7 days of training, integrated into our routine
1-hour take-home lesson
Written follow-up
Additional nights can be added as needed. See the boarding page for rates and details.
Regardless of what training path you choose, I'm available for follow-up lessons, check-ins, and additional support when needed.
