Helping Dogs Train their People Since 2010

General Info

Training Service & Options Thanks for your interest in my services. Below are examples of my current fees and options. I work personally with each client to design a program that meets your individual needs. Travel is included within a 30-mile radius of Fredericksburg or Colonial Beach. Initial Consultation: 90-minute session in your home: $175. Includes follow-up via phone & email with instructions and recommendations. In the case of serious issues such as excessive reactivity, aggression, or biting, a veterinary exam and behavioral questionnaire must be completed before an appointment can be scheduled. I have limited office hours at Caroline Animal Hospital, 17435 Richmond Turnpike, Milford VA 22514 (near Bowling Green), where I offer shorter initial consults at lower fees (~25 minutes). All sessions at CAH must be scheduled through their office; and all fees must be paid directly to CAH. Please call CAH at (804) 633-5958 to schedule an appointment. Follow-up Sessions: Standard 60-minute follow-up sessions: $125. Special Packages—Multiple sessions are available at a discounted rate if purchased in advance: Puppy Socialization & Training Special: Six 60-minute training sessions in your home: $575.

Board & Train: Standard 2-week option: $1495 — Your dog will spend week-days with me, living in my home (not a kennel) learning what you need him or her to learn…then your dog will return home to spend the weekend with you so you can see how the training is coming along. The standard program includes pick-up and return plus a 60-minute owner training and “hand-off” session each week. Evaluation Clinics, Seminars, and Workshops: Evaluation clinics, seminars, and workshops are designed and personalized to meet your group’s individual needs. Small group workshops include dogs.
