Details on Each Reactive Service

Consultation - Every new client starts with an initial consultation. For packages, those are held virtually (can be in person depending on your location and for an additional fee). During the initial consultation, we will go over a full history; establish a training plan including appropriate management and enrichment activities. The consultation includes homework, a written training plan, and any relevant handouts.

Private lesson - these are held in a pre-determined location with the trainer and client only (plus your dog). Following your consultation, we will put what you were given to work on into practice with a decoy dog (as appropriate). You will get real time feedback, review your progress, and assign new homework.

Semi Private Lesson - similar to a private lesson, except these are comprised of 2-3 clients with their dogs for training around other dogs in more real life situations. You will get real time feedback, review your progress, and be assigned new homework.

Resolving Reactivity Group Class - A group class where you will learn behavior modification skills along with management practices, enrichment activities, and other strategies to work with your reactive dog. Dogs will not be able to see each other initially and over the course of the class will work towards being around each other without barriers - working in steps starting with fake decoy dogs and my own personal helper dogs.

Booking a package will require a deposit. The balance will be due after your consultation is complete. During your consultation, if we talk the options over and you decide you want to do a different type of lesson, or do a group class instead of a lesson, that is not a problem - and likely to happen once you learn some helpful skills that make this all less intimidating! That is why I do not require you to pay for the package entirely up front! Once you’ve chosen your package and paid for the entire package, there are no refunds - but you can apply your payment to a different service.
