Programs

Listed below are each Program's recommended training, as well as the discounted price for signing up for the whole program, rather than 1 session at a time.  A private session is required for in-person evaluation and preparation before beginning any Program.

Programs

Details:

  • After the initial session, all clients are required to purchase a program when we continue training.  Due to the level of consistent commitment dog training requires, I do not recommend or permit scheduling 1 session at a time as this does not generally lead to good outcomes.

  • All training & psychotherapy programs are held at the client’s home unless agreed upon otherwise.  I often do sessions at Romero Park (or similar) for public practice or neutral turf.

  • I am available online for long-distance clients.  There is a $10 discount per session.

  • A 30-min roundtrip (up to 15-mins one way) travel fee is included.  Additional travel time will incur a travel fee of $10/15-mins one way/session.

  • The number of sessions does not determine whether goals will be completed.  In the cases of severe behavioral work or service dogs, it is typical to need to repeat even a 12-session package, possibly more than once.  Service dogs take roughly 2 years to complete formal training.

  • The program discounted rate is locked in.  If we complete a program and feel only 1-2 sessions are needed, they can be added on at the same rate.

Parameters for Training & Behavior Programs

Your dog’s progress is contingent on consistency.  It is assumed that when a program is begun, the agreed upon schedule will continue until its completion.  Typically, that means weekly sessions.  If you do not complete your program within 6 months from the date of the first session, any unused sessions are forfeit unless Ash approves an unexpected gap due to family emergency or similar situation.
