SERVICE OPTIONS

Consultation

  • Best starting place for any dog

  • 1.5-2 hours of hands on training starting with the basics, discussing rules, tools, daily structure and ultimate goals for you and your dog.

  • Consultations are done in the client’s home

  • Together we will decide on a training plan moving forward. (Should you decide on a board and train program, the cost of consultation is deducted from your total board and train fees.)

Private Sessions

  • Great for dogs aged 6-7 months and older and dogs new to your home.

  • Each session is 1.5-2 hours in length. Three sessions will cover all the basics on leash and prong, the place command and address behavior issues such as jumping, barking, mouthing or other minor issues your dog is displaying.

  • Private sessions are held at the client’s home, a public place, my home or a combination.

  • For the safety of the owners, dogs and trainers, dogs with more serious issues such as separation anxiety, resource guarding or aggression towards humans or dogs are not eligible for private sessions.

Board & Train

  • For dogs with poor behaviors and habits.

  • For a minimum of two weeks, your dog will stay in my home going over all the rules, basics and master impulse control through daily routines of pottying, eating, walks, interacting/existing with adults, children and other animals. We correct all poor behavior as they present in training and troubleshoot how to best correct, motivate and pattern good behaviors in different environments.

Informal Puppy Session

  • For dogs 9 weeks to 6 months

  • For 1-1.5 hours I will take over puppy duties in my home while you have the opportunity to observe how dogs, adults and children should interact in one of the best and safest family and dog friendly environments.

  • We will discuss any and all puppy and dog related questions and you will have the opportunity to visit the family behind Dog Included.

Boarding

  • All dogs that have trained with us are welcome for boarding services.

  • While you are away, we will provide your dog with the same structure and accountability that we teach you and your dog during training. Boarding is a great way for your dog to practice their skills.

  • Drop off and pick ups are flexible.
