Client Consult (Required for new clients) $165

Before we work together to find a training plan that best meets you and your dog’s needs and goals, we’ll start with a 60-90 minute new client consult.

During the consult, we’ll get to know each other, discuss your personal goals for your dog, talk about training package options, management strategies and core foundations of dog behavior.
