Services & RATES
Board & Train
The Home Away from Home program provides two weeks of intensive training for dogs over six months of age. I will teach your dog the commands come, sit, place, down, heel, wait, and off. Issues such as aggression, separation anxiety and housebreaking can also be addressed. Your dog will practice in a variety of different settings like downtown, dog-friendly stores, parks, trails, and in my home where they stay. I will then teach you how to incorporate all of your dog’s learned behaviors into your daily lives so that you can confidently provide the leadership that your dog needs. Unlimited Saturday group classes included. The cost of this program is $4000.
Private Lessons
The Home Sweet Home program includes six private lessons in your home and/or public venues. We will teach the commands come, sit, place, down, heel, wait, and off. You will be expected to practice 20 minutes daily with your dog in order to achieve these goals within 6-8 weeks. Unlimited Saturday group classes included. The cost of this program is $1500.
Private puppy lessons for dogs under the age of six months are available in the comfort of your own home. We can cater the lesson to address the needs of your family. Sessions typically last about an hour and a half. The cost of one lesson is $200.
HYBRID PROGRAM
This involves 4-5 weekly lessons in your home to lay a solid obedience foundation. Then I’ll take your dog with me for a week for extra socialization and practice around distractions in public settings. We’ll follow that up with 1-2 additional lessons and unlimited Saturday group classes. The cost of this program is $3500.
DAY TRAINING
I’ve recently added this new program to the mix! This is an add-on to any of my advanced programs (Home Sweet Home, Hybrid, & Home Away From Home). I will pick your dog up and take them out with me for some one on one training to help troubleshoot any problem areas or just to provide extra practice and fun! Pictures and videos of your dog’s field trip, as well as my training notes, will be shared with you later. The cost of this program is $200 for a 2 hour session.
Puppy Socialization
Start your puppy off on the right paw by teaching proper socialization with other puppies and people, confidence building, bite inhibition, and foundation obedience work to help them grow into a happy, well-balanced member of your family. Crate training, housebreaking, body handling, and health & safety will also be addressed. Classes are held on Tuesdays at 6:30 at the Harrisburg Area Animal Hospital. Class size is limited, so email us to reserve your space. Puppies six months and younger are welcome. The cost of this program is $150 for 5 lessons.
Group classes
Our weekly Saturday group classes are only open to graduates of the Home Sweet Home, Home Away from Home, and Hybrid programs. We meet at a variety of different local parks in the Harrisburg area year round to reinforce all that you and your dog have learned. Pack walks are typically an hour long and we incorporate drills to help with socialization, impulse control, and focus. Drop in any or every week for the rest of your dog’s life.
follow ups
My advanced training programs include participation in our weekly Saturday classes where we can help you work through any issues you may be having with your dog. I am also available to chat, text, or email regarding your dog’s behavior for the rest of their lives. If you need additional help beyond this, my fee is $150/hour for in home follow up lessons.
