Schedule an Initial Consultation
Every pet parent begins their journey with our initial 1.5 hour consultation. This session allows you to express your goals and expectations of the program while giving us an opportunity to discuss and gather an in-depth understanding of your pup’s daily routine, history and medical background which is a key step to setting you up for success. We will teach you basic training principles, adjust aspects of life at home, give you clear instructions on exercises you can start right away, and help you choose the customized training program that is best suited to meet your needs.
Learn and Practice During a Customized Program
Depending on your needs, our customizable training programs range from 4-8 weeks and are available as in-home, virtual, or hybrid 1-on-1 private training sessions. These sessions will be scheduled once or twice per week. During these sessions you will learn new exercises and activities that relate to goals you set during our consultation. The rest of the week you will be able to work with your pup on your own and reach out for follow-up support when needed.
Here to ensure that both you and your pup thrive in harmony and create a loving and fulfilling relationship.
What clients are saying!
Melanie D.
Pet Parent of Dolly
“The virtual training was invaluable. As a parent of two kids and now a new puppy, it was very convenient and helpful. All the exercises were simple to understand and most importantly attainable and doable which gave me great confidence in the process. Every night the kids were asking to do more come when called training sessions. My puppy has made noticeable progress. We loved the training!”
Jaclyn & Sean S.
Pet Parents of Ariel
“Janet was informative, patient, flexible and understanding. She made the sessions less stressful than I thought they would be. Considering Ariel is a beagle, I thought she wouldn’t progress at all. However, Ariel did wonderful and Janet was very in tune with not wearing her out past her limits. Janet helped us understand Ariel’s needs while accommodating our busy lifestyle. She is truly great at what she does.”
Elizabeth N.
Pet Parent of Xena
“Janet is a fantastic dog trainer! She really understands both the animal and the person. Janet pays attention to every move and expression and can tell how that will impact the relationship between owner and pup. She makes adjustments as needed and they are incredibly insightful and helpful. Beyond this, Janet is extremely knowledgeable. She taught us so many different techniques, it was amazing! For me, my favorite thing that Janet taught me was how to walk my dog on the leash. Having a 100 pound Bullmastiff Puppy, it was very important that she not pull me. Previously all my dogs pulled me. I am happy to say the Xena walks in step with me every time. I highly recommend Janet to anyone wanting to train their new or old dog. The experience will be very positive, extremely helpful, and rewarding for all.”
