This rule ensures accountability with the training journey and will help your dog receive attention it needs. Cancelled sessions with less than 24 hours notice will be applied as a full session (session lost).

Just like people, there are no two dogs who are the same. Dogs learn at different speeds. Please note, even a 4 week intensive program will require you to do some work so the newly learned behaviors will become second nature and unwanted behaviors will continue to fade away.

If by the end of this program your dog needs more work, a sliding scale discount will be offered. All following sessions will be $70 (60 min)
