FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
ATTENTION: Before we even get started, it's important to understand that the estimated $125 price per session listed here is for comparison purposes ONLY. Thumbtack does not allow for accurate program pricing and it is one of the unfortunate limitations of this site. The price listed would reflect only the first hour of a session without travel fees to your location. The clock would be running from the moment you open the door. Been there, done that...it's dreadful! Luckily for you, we only offer fixed priced programs so there's no sticker shock. Why? Because the truth is that successful training requires consistency and commitment, and in our experience, that doesn't really happen on a "per session" basis. We want you and your pup to succeed and be a source of joy. To insure your success we offer a variety of results based programs to cover essential obedience and any behavioral issues you may be experiencing. Our most popular results-based programs are usually completed in about 6-9 sessions depending on the program you prefer to reach your goals. We also have "starter" programs. Though not as comprehensive as our most popular programs, they do give you the information you needed yesterday to get started, like potty training and setting up for a new pup, as well as a few commands. They're a great introduction to training and you can possibly start the same day. Since our programs are private, all the focus is on you and can be tailored specifically towards your goals and address any problems that arise. We like to train where life happens and prefer for your training sessions to be in your home so we can work where you and your dog are most comfortable and the distractions will be minimal. That means no stress for you about driving anywhere or finding parking. With our Life Skills programs we will also train on location, like a park or dog friendly store, to work on things that happen in the real world, too. Because of the personal nature of our programs, and insure you are successful, we can only work with a limited number of families at a time. We may have a temporary waitlist the we reach that limit.

- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended the Marin Humane Society's first Academy for Dog Trainers. Over the years I've attended in-person seminars and completed online courses to learn/expands my skills...but it's the hands-on real life experience working with hundreds of dog over more than 27 years that makes up the bulk of it.
