Services & Rates
As of December 26, 2024, I am no longer able to provide customized written training plans with in-person sessions. To help accommodate this, I am now offering clients the option to record the activities assigned for homework during their training session! There is no extra charge to do this if you use your own recording device. Since each session is tailored to each dog, their needs, and their situation, I highly advise against sharing these videos with other dog guardians. I
I have training plans for basic behaviors available to purchase separately (the cost of these varies, see below). There may be rare occasions where I am able to provide a written training plan customized to your dog's needs and situation for an additional charge (determined based on the needs of the dog), however, please do not expect this.
Thank you!

Payment Methods
I currently accept PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, cash, and checks. If you choose to pay through Venmo or PayPal, please note that sending payment as a business transaction incurs an additional fee. To avoid this, I kindly ask that Venmo and PayPal payments be sent as friends and family. If you prefer to send it as a business transaction, please include the additional fee in your payment (this will be determined at the end of the service).
Payment is due immediately after the service unless specified with the service or other arrangements have been made.

Meet the Trainer Consultation
We chat on the phone or via email to discuss your training and/or behavior needs, your goals for training, and to make sure I am a good fit for your dog and your needs. There is no training plan provided with this service. Though this introductory service is optional, it is highly recommended.
There is no charge for an over-the-phone or email Meet the Trainer Consultation.

Canine Comfort Cuts
This service is specifically for pups that are fearful of being groomed. This is not a professional grooming service. This is a fear-free mat removal service that allows your dog to set the pace of the trimming. Canine Comfort Cuts also includes bathing and nail trimming.
This service is not charged hourly. The charge is based on the severity of mats and fear your pup has.
