TESTIMONIAL

Jennifer,

Just wanted to say thanks for your talented gifts and obvious caring for the dogs in our family.  The training has already made a wonderful shift in Molly's behavior and it means so much to have a technique that finally works!

Interested in Private Lessons?

Service Area Training Philosophy


Private Lessons are specifically designed to suit your individual needs AND your busy schedule.  Receive undivided attention from a certified dog trainer, in your home, where the problems occur.  We can come to you, at your convenience, for daytime, evening or weekend appointments.
  Our job is to help give you the skills you need to train your dog successfully!  We can also train your dog for you, if you prefer.

We provide personalized, in-home assistance to students throughout South King County and the surrounding communities.  
CLICK HERE to find out if you are in my Service Area.

Private lessons can be used to fix behavior problems or teach obedience skills, as well as a combination of both.  We work with dogs of all ages and skill levels, from new puppies to adult dogs with established bad habits.  

As a team, you and the trainer will make a mutual decision about how many lessons are needed to meet your goals, always being mindful of your budget and schedule.  We can do a little or a lot, it is up to you.  

Single and multiple lessons always include training for multiple dogs.

Private Lessons include a DETAILED TRAINING PLAN, to keep you on track in between lessons, as well as LIFETIME SUPPORT by e-mail support.

PRICING DETAILS

Single, 1-Hour Lesson                                                                                 
$100 for a single lesson

Students may choose to purchase a single, 1-hour private lesson at the non-discounted rate of $100.  This covers one lesson in a student's home.  Students may also choose to purchase each private lesson separately at the non-discounted rate.   

Multiple Lesson Packages      
2 lessons for $175, 3 lessons for $250, 4 lessons for $325, 5 lessons for $400, 6 lessons for $475

Students may choose to purchase multiple private lessons as a package.  This will allow you to receive the discounted rate, when these lessons are purchased and paid for in full before or at the end of the first lesson.  During the first lesson, I will give you my professional recommendation, based on many years of experience, as to how many lessons will be needed to address the problems in your home, with your dog(s).  This is simply a suggestion, so students make the final call on how many lessons they can afford.  But, we want students to be successful in their efforts, so we advice accordingly.  

Lifetime Training Package                                 
$595 for unlimited lessons for the life of your dog!

Our lifetime package is for students who need a larger number of lessons, or for students who prefer the idea of always having a dog trainer and behavior counselor on hand when they need one.  The rate is for one dog in a family.  Discounts are available for multiple dogs, depending on the situation.  Please ask...
* The lifetime package only applies to private lessons and does not include day training or group classes

Day Training - We Train your Dog for You!
Pricing Varies - typical program includes multiple training sessions per week over multiple weeks
Day training begins with an initial consultation, where we will help you define your training goals, and give you an estimate of the training commitment needed to get results.  We then come to your home and work one-on-one with your dog.  You can observe the training sessions, or not, as you prefer, but you actually don't even need to be home.  Our job is to train your dog for you, using our skills and expertise, so that you get fast, efficient results.  We also provide special, "owner update" sessions to teach you how to maintain the behaviors we have taught.  
* P
rogram is limited to residents of Auburn, Kent, Covington, and Maple Valley
