A training consultation is required prior to booking any In-Home Training Packages.
One-on-one training sessions are ideal for the owners that are prepared to dedicate time and energy to train their pets to become therapy animals and/or adventure pets. In-home sessions teach skills right where they need to take place -- your own home -- and then take those behaviors out on field trips to ensure the skills are proofed and ready to use on all of your adventures!
In-Home Sessions packages are designed to help coach you as you put in the work to train your pet so you can enjoy all of life's adventures together!
Private Training Sessions may be scheduled at your convenience any time during business hours on Fridays only. At least one week between sessions is required to allow you and your pet time to practice your new training techniques.
There are a variety of Private Training Packages available to meet the needs of you and your pet!
