Initial Session:
With Maddi: $90*
With Tracy, Michelle, Jessica, or KJ: $75*
All initial sessions are done virtually using Google Meet. During an initial private session, we will go over your concerns and goals in-depth, create an action plan, and set you and your dog up to be successful in changing their behavior. Virtual sessions are excellent for dogs with issues with visitors coming in the home or those owners in the at-risk category for Covid-19. These sessions are still VERY effective. You will need a computer with a webcam or a mobile phone with a camera.

Training Packages*
We recognize that our fees are not cheap! Nothing of quality is. We strive to be the best-educated and experienced canine behavior experts we can be. You won’t find better, more educated, and caring trainers in Cuyahoga County. We are in high demand for a reason and our fees reflect the quality of expertise we provide.
However, we want to reward those that are dedicated to their dogs and training them with kindness, love, and science. So, we have developed some package deals that will help with costs.
During follow-up sessions, we will assess how our action plan is working and develop the next steps.
