Think you need to meet with a trainer in person to learn about how to change your dog’s behavior? Think again! While we always enjoy the opportunity to meet people’s dogs, there are lots of behavior challenges that are totally feasible to address virtually, since they aren’t related to hands-on teaching of specific verbal cues. These include general puppy raising practices, setting in a newly adopted dog for success, housetraining, confinement training, laying the foundation for optimal learning and skills, as well as all the more complex behavior challenges. And for a good number of these, online is actually a superior option.

Many people find they actually absorb more useful information in a virtual session, and the convenience also means more flexibility with meeting times and learning from the comfort of your couch! 

Virtual sessions are highly recommended as a precursor to in-person sessions for all kinds of behaviors, and especially for timid/fearful dogs or those with behavior challenges. They are also an ideal route for setting the stage for success with a newly adopted (or soon to arrive!) dog, or a newly arrived (or soon to arrive!) puppy. For specific details about our Puppy Primer Virtual Session, see below.

Looking for some guidance with your pup that will be best served by some hands-on help? We offer one on one in person sessions, either at your home or out in the world. Many behavior questions are too complex to address in a class, or the class schedule doesn’t mesh well with yours.  Some dog families prefer personalized attention and a plan designed specifically for their situation, or have a physical situation that needs a set of experienced eyes. Teaching basic cues is often ideal for in-person sessions. We often follow up virtual Foundations First sessions with in person support, especially for those pups with behavior challenges such as reactivity to other dogs.

In person One-on-One Sessions are $90 per hour; sessions are generally 1 to 1 ½ hours. An additional Travel Time/Fuel Fee is added to the first hour ($10-$50) depending on your location.

Contact Krissi at 307-739-9185 or kg.jhpt@gmail.com to discuss your pup’s behavior and make a plan. Initial phone consults are free.
