Format:
Training sessions are hands on and designed for owners to participate, learning the skills and techniques you will use every day. When an owner cannot attend, I provide a detailed session summary and can follow up virtually or by phone so you still know how to continue the work. Sessions can take place wherever they will be most effective including your home, a public setting such as a park, or my training space when appropriate. Each session ends with a clear plan and practical next steps so you feel confident continuing the work.
Additional fees apply for multiple pets
