ALL PACKAGES ARE CUSTOMIZED TO THE CLIENT
"We had a great experience with Sarah. For every training session, Sarah gave us clear instructions, explained the science behind the techniques (all positive), and provided helpful feedback and resources. But what especially impressed us was that Sarah went beyond the basics, taking the time to really understand our pup’s quirks and to devise a tailor-made plan for helping him to be his best self—and a much-loved member of our family. Thank you, Sarah! (And thank you, Debut. I got to meet him, too; what a great dog!)"

Done-For-You Dog Training
About the program:
Maybe you don't have time to train your dog. And that's okay.
You don't cut your own hair. You don't change your own oil. When you need something done you hire a professional. Let us be that professional for you.
We''ll train your dog while you work/run errands/do what you need to.
Every few sessions we'll "transfer" behaviors to you and teach you how to use what I've taught Fido.
Each package come with continuing support after we've finished training to make sure it "sticks".
Package length varies, as does the option to include field trips. The right package lenght for you can be discussed on a Discovery call.
All day training packages include:
-
Training with the dog 3x a week
-
Weekly transfer session with the humans
-
Follow up sessions
-
Welcome package that includes treat bag, and treats
-
Email and text support
