Virtual Lessons.
Virtual dog training allows us to help you with any behavior, no matter where you live. We can deep dive into your puppy’s first week and month at home, develop a plan to help ease your dog’s anxiety or fears, reduce reactivity, and build confidence. We have trainers who are passionate and succeeding with tricks, nosework, loose leash walking, and soothing adolescent angst. It’s more than a phone conversation as we dive into body language, your handling skills, timing, and reinforcement strategies. Not only do we believe we can help you, but some of our best and favorite trainers, behaviorists, and teachers who have taught us have come to us virtually from around the globe. We believe in virtual training because we have grown and become better teachers for you and your pup because of our own virtual journeys. 50-minute lessons. $148 per session. 4 lessons for $495.
Testimonial “We wanted to share that we’re doing well as a family of four. Thanks to Jordana for coming out and talking through some of our concerns and setting realistic expectations. Willie is curious about the baby but usually is happiest keeping a little bit of distance. He really enjoys when everyone goes on a daily walk if his extra wiggly butt waiting at the door is any indication. Thanks again for all of your support and for helping us navigate this new change. “— Heidi, Dog Trained Client
