  • One-on-one time to look forward to!

  • Gets your pup used to the idea of enjoying time spent with humans outside of the immediate family or pod.

  • SPECIAL OPTION: Human\Pet training sessions, which usually start at $90+ an hour, are offered at the training walk rate of $70 and can be incorporated into the specific plan made for your pup, to provide a family-integrated training experience.

What does the Program Actually Look Like?

  • Initial 1- hour meet and greet

  • Schedule an initial 1 hour analysis walk

  • create a plan for 1 hour training walks 2-5 times per week

  • 6 months- 1 year, based on individual needs and desires

  • Family training can be done in conjunction with the program, by incorporating human/pet training sessions into the training walk program. There is also the option to continue walks past the 6 months-1 year of the program, reduce the number of walks per week, or they can be taken over by the family. Human/Training sessions are offered at the discounted $70/hr during or after the program to aid in providing the option that makes most sense for your family.
