PUPPYPALS

Three-hour, drop-off supervised puppy play. Click above for details. Available March through November.  

​

LEASH-WALK LESSON

Let's take your pup for a walk together in the first few weeks to answer all the key questions: "What if pup just sits? How do we get pup moving forward? What if pup wants to smell the same plant forever? What about when there's another dog? Should we greet people? What about pulling?" Let's refine your approach from the get-go so you build a great pattern together. 

($100 per hour)

 

DROP-OFF

SOCIALIZATION

Socialization is so very important, and your puppy learns SO very fast before the 4-month mark. What an opportunity that is! Let me help. It's tricky to get it right. Exposure is not enough — it has to feel positive to the puppy. That requires careful reading of a puppy’s body language, and immediate adjustments based on that. I can give you a head start, taking your pup out myself and taking videos of what I see/do so you can learn. If you've just gotten a pup and feel too busy to work in this kind of adventure very often, this is a great way to go. (Of course you can also come along and learn as we go!)
($100 per hour.)

DROP-OFF

TRAIN-N-PLAY

Leave your pup with me for a training session combined with supervised play with my lovely adult dogs (my colleagues!).
($100 per hour.)

 

​

PRIVATE LESSON

I’ll come to you, work with your dog, demonstrate and help you practice your own technique. One option:  first do a drop-off train-n-play where I can create some videos of me working with your pup — then we follow up with an in-home private lesson.
($100 per hour.)

​

PLAYDATE SUPERVISION 

Want to offer playdates for your dog but not sure how to do it safely? I can supervise play between your pup and one or two others. I’d love it if you’re present so I can  teach all of the humans what to look for in good play – but I can also just video key moments and teach you that way. This can be at my house or yours.
($75 from each pup’s family for an hour)

​

​

CAMP CALLAHAN

Drop your pup off for three hours of play with my dogs, training with me, and careful socialization out and about (maybe Old Town, or Lowe’s, or Belle View Shopping Center). Click above for more info. 
($250 for the 3 hours. If you combine with a friend it’s $175 from each pup's family.)
