Puppy Offerings

PRE-PUPPY ZOOM CONSULT

Getting ready for your new puppy? Sometimes a quick Zoom to go over things like how to set up your "puppy apartment" can be really helpful. (Hint: creating an environment filled with "yes" choices is a great start.) 

(30 minutes = $50.)

 

IN-HOME NEW PUPPY CONSULT 

If you live in the Old Town/Ft. Hunt/Mt. Vernon area,  I'll come to your house for an in-person consult! We'll set you up to actually enjoy puppyhood instead of being constantly surprised by it! Click for details.
($150.)

​

ZOOM NEW PUPPY CONSULT 

This is a highly under-rated offering! Everybody thinks they need in-person help, but honestly so much of the puppy stuff is more about problem-solving and creating the right environment/schedule than it is about working directly with the pup. I do these sessions with folks all over the country.
(60 minutes = $90.)

​

(the amazing...) PUPPYPALS

I've been hosting this three-hour, drop-off, supervised small-group puppy play since 2018. Hundreds of happy alums at this point! Two mornings a week in my back yard (22306), half a dozen carefully vetted pups have a ball developing real friendships and gaining confidence.  Years later, my clients rave about their transformative time as part of this group. Click above for details. CLOSED NOW FOR WINTER, SORRY!​

PRIVATE TRAINING

I'd love to work with your dog throughout puppyhood, and it can take whatever form works best for you. I can come to you, demonstrate how to work with your pup, and help you practice your own technique. Or you can drop your pup at my house where I can teach your pup, and send you one-minute video snippets of my lessons for you to copy at home. If you don't have the time for good, nuanced socialization (it's tricky!), I can take your pup out and about (Old Town, Lowe's, etc.) to learn about the big wide world while feeling safe. If you're having particular issues with leash-walking (um, who doesn't?) I'd love to schedule a lesson or two to get you practicing the good stuff. Anyway . . . the point here is that I'd love to help you throughout puppyhood! 
($150 for first visit; $100/hr for subsequent sessions.)
