ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Training Walks
$50/Half Hour
Training walks are the only sessions conducted without the owner present. This service is geared towards working owners who struggle to provide physical exercise and mental stimulation for their dogs during the limited daylight hours of the rainy season, clients whose physical limitations prevent them from satisfying their pups' exercise needs, and current clients who are out of town and want training consistency for their pup while it is under the care of a pet sitter.
Breed Consultation
*Contact for Price*
Many pet owners choose a dog based upon appearance without thoroughly researching whether or not the temperament or needs of the breed are well suited to their lifestyle. This leads to an alarming number of young dogs rehomed or taken to a shelter/rescue. To help combat this trend of shelter overpopulation and rehoming, the trainer's interview process helps identify the ideal breed/breeds/mix based upon a variety of factors such as age, activity level, and interests. Once the prospective list is finalized, the trainer may assist at owner's request in the selection of a dog from the shelter or puppy from a reputable breeder. VIRTUAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE for this service.
