NOTICE TO ALL INQUIRIES:
Board and Train programs: I am completely full through summer 2024 in all of my board and train programs. Please check back here periodically for any cancellations.
1:1 Private Session programs: I am currently accepting new clients for late summer. Please check back here periodically for cancellations.
PLEASE NOTE - I DO NOT HAVE AN UPCOMING PHONE CONSULTATION DAY SCHEDULED. PLEASE CHECK BACK IN HERE PERIODICALLY FOR UPDATES TO THAT SCHEDULE.
I conduct complimentary phone consultations every 6 weeks for serious inquiries to get answers you may have about me, services, philosophy, etc. (PLEASE NOTE: I do not give dog training advice during the consultation.) I will need a completed inquiry form before we speak. To get on the call list click HERE. To fill out the submission inquiry form click HERE. Thank you for your cooperation; my demand is so high that this is the only way I can manage my inquires. Thanks for your patience.
To actually get enrolled in a training program, you will need to put in a $200 deposit to reserve the next available spot. PLEASE NOTE: I book up approx. 2-3 months in advance for private 1:1 programs and 4-6 months in advance for board and train programs. Having said that, if you absolutely know that you want to train with me, I suggest submitting the deposit before we speak so that you will be guaranteed an earlier date for training.
For immediate help: Please go to my YouTube Channel for free how-to and DIY video content.
Post Board and Train House Rules:
1. The dog must be crated at night and when you are not at home.
2. The dog is not allowed access to human furniture (bed, couch, chairs, etc). These privileges MUST be earned.
3. The dog’s owner must provide the dog with a structured day (including but not limited to: duration work, waiting for food, waiting at thresholds and consistent e-collar use.)
4. The dog is absolutely not allowed to initiate any dog or small child interaction. The same applies for children - they are not allowed to initiate any interaction with the dog unless agreed upon by me. Exceptions are made, depending on the demeanor of the dog and the age and demeanor of the child. Safety and/or the success of the program may be at risk.
*These are not permanent rules, but ones that must be implemented until your dog is behaving the way you would like to see him/her do. They can earn privileges back by making better decisions through your leadership and consistency with the structures and boundaries of the Board and Train (B&T). The best way for you and your dog to be successful is to implement these rules for at least 30-90 days from the go-home. The length depends on the severity of your dog’s ill-behaviors before the B&T and the consistency your provide after the B&T. 30 to 60 days for the 2-week basic and at least 90 days for behavior modification cases. If you have any questions or concerns about these rules, please ask!
IF YOU ARE INQUIRING FOR A 3 WEEK BASIC BOARD AND TRAIN PROGRAM: This program IS NOT for dog-aggression and/or human-aggression cases, or dogs that display signs of moderate to severe separation anxiety*, or display moderate to severe fear reactivity. *If your dog whines AT ALL in the crate (with door closed) during the day when you leave the house or at night, then they DO NOT qualify for the 3 week basic program. Dogs that are whining while crated are a minimum of 4 weeks. Dogs that are barking, clawing and/or howling while crated are a minimum of 5 weeks. I reserve the right to expect more time with your dog at your cost if they come in and display the above behaviors. If you are questioning your dog’s behaviors, please get a video and send it to me for clarification.
