Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner
Fear Free Certified Professional

I come to you and provide private day training services in your home/neighborhood.
Initial Consultation: $130
Training Packages:
10% off packages for Grand River Canyon Residents! Payment plans available
My packages are individually customized to meet the needs of your dog. Purchasing a customized training package helps ensure your dog gets the right help and right number of sessions to ensure a successful outcome! We will meet together and I will craft the custom package and training plan.
All base packages include up to 90 minute in person consultation, 6 private day training sessions (I work one on one with your dog), 4 transfer sessions (I show you what we have worked on and how to keep it up), phone support outside of session (up to 30 minutes). $585
Gentle Start Package: Helping your newly adopted dog or puppy get started on the right paw! I help set your pup up for success! Sessions focus on helping your puppy or new dog be successful both at home and in public! I use a fear-free, gentle approach to help your dog learn to love exploring their world and train basic skills such as learning to spend quiet time in kennel or pen, sit, stay, come when called, walk nicely on a leash.
Zen Dog Package: No more sweat about going to the vet (or groomer)! Your dog will be running to the vet clinic, not away from it! I'll help create ways to make veterinary visits as low stress as possible, and even fun! As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I will craft and implement a training plan to help with husbandry and veterinary procedures.
Caring Paws Package: You and your dog learn to be a therapy team and help other people! Imagine you and your dog as a polished team, walking calmly into your first therapy visit with a patient. You and your dog are about to make a positive difference in someone's day! For those wanting a dog to volunteer or work with them to help other people (e.g. at a nursing home, hospital, or with you in your professional role) I offer a customizable package for therapy dog training, flexible to start from where your dog is now to where they will be when they are ready for certification! Reach out to me today for details.
Fun additions (for those enrolled in packages)
Paws Together monthly group meet up with other clients and their dogs, in a park setting to practice skills around other dogs, people and distractions, $15
Field Trip training session $65
*Based on your individual dog’s training goals, I take your dog to train in a public setting such as a dog friendly store/cafe, park, veterinarian, groomer—great for generalizing and refining skills learned in private sessions*
Enrichment ‘rucksack’ walks $35
*Your dog will enjoy one on one time with me on a scenting adventure: I bring a bag of special items for your dog to enjoy interacting with by sniffing as we take a 45 minute leisurely walk together
Nosework mini session: $35
*I will set up a nosework session where your dog will be rewarded for finding treats hidden in strategic places. If your dog is already trained to find the nosework oils birch, anise, and/or clove, I can use these as hides in our session instead!
