Private Dog Training
On March 15th, 2020, Co-Owner Michelle finished a one year apprenticeship with Mardi Richmond of Good Dog Santa Cruz. Upon completion, Michelle will now be offering private one on one training packages. The services will address the needs of clients ranging from Puppy Training, Basic Obedience, Polite Greetings and Leash Manners. You will learn how to work with your dog using positive, kind and effective methods. This means we will be using training grounded in science with rewards based methods. I will come to your house and we will work one on one to find solutions and create a plan together.
Initial Consultations are $110 for 1.5 hours.
Follow up sessions are $90 for 1 hour.
Training sessions are currently offered seven days a week between the hours of 10am and 4pm.
Puppy Preparedness Package- $200
Did you recently adopt a puppy? Are you looking to get your pup started off on the right paw? Together, let’s tackle some of those puppy problems (crate training, mouthing, jumping, house training ect) while setting your puppy up to successfully navigate the world through clear communication and guidance. This package includes two sessions (one 1.5 hour session and a follow up 50 minute session).
Basic Obedience/Polite Greetings (3 lesson package) $290
During your consultation, we will go over previous training history, goals and develop a management and training plan to meet the skill and life needs of you and your dog. These sessions will help establish a routine for a newly adopted dog or identify and improve newly changed behavior. Concepts include sit, stay, crate training, jumping and leave it. Follow up sessions may be necessary.
This package includes an initial consultation (1.5 hour) plus two follow up sessions (1 hour each).
Loose Leash Walking Package ($470)
Do you want to enjoy going on walks with your dog? Does there seem to be a break down in communication causing excess leash pulling, stalling or excessive sniffing? I will provide you with the tools to motivate your dog to walk with you in a way that encourages collaboration and reduces frustration for both you and your dog. We will likely be suggesting either a martingale, front clip harness or Gentle Leader to manage the pulling while teaching you methods that encourage and motivate your dog to walk with you.
This package includes an initial consultation (1.5 hour) plus four follow up sessions (1 hour each).
