Basic Manners: $195/session or $850/5 hours (1 zoom & 4 in-person sessions)

Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? It’s never too late to start training your dog. The Basic Manners course is designed for adult dogs and older puppies with little or no previous training. Our main goal is to install helpful commands for the owner as well as get the dog “hooked on phonics” (loves to play the training game). This gives our clients a solid foundation and a dog they can live with.

Most of our manners clients come to us with a slightly naughty dog. They may be counter-surfing and scoring sandwiches when no one is looking, they may be jumping up and terrorizing guests with exuberant face kisses or they may be practicing their best sled dog impressions on their neighborhood walks. If any of this sounds familiar, we can help!

Our manners & troubleshooting package begins with a one-hour goal setting consultation where we discuss your dog’s behavior history and pain points. We’ll come up with a plan that includes management for immediate relief and training so that we can reach your goals. We’ll also talk about the skills that make up your training plan that we’ll go over in our subsequent in-person sessions. That way when we meet in person everyone is ready, has a plan and is set up for success!
