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 

As soon as you get your pup, reach out and I'll come over! We'll set you up to actually enjoy puppyhood instead of being constantly surprised by it! Click for details.
(Available to Alexandria VA locals. 60 minutes = $100. Folks often choose to extend to 90 minutes, which is $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. Available March through November.  ​

PRIVATE IN-PERSON LESSONS

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! 
($100 per hour.)
