This service can be provided in your home or in a location that suits your needs. Our clients like the flexibility of being able to work issues at specifics areas or certain times of the day for their convenience. Whether it is for basic dog obedience, competitive obedience or behavioral in nature, some situations (such as setting your puppy up for in home success prior to attending puppy class,and resolving fear, aggression, and separation problems) are more effeciently and properly addressed in private lessons rather than in a group class.
Off Leash PhD Program

Welcome Home! Consultation (60 minutes = $85, plus tax; $30 for each 30 minute increment thereafter)
Bringing home a four-legged family member is very exciting, and often the first few days and weeks are referred to as the honeymoon period. With a new member of the family comes a lot of responsibility. This consultation can help you and the members of your family with any home adjustments you might want to discuss such as integrating in to the family, with children, or with other dogs and animals, general obedience questions, crate and potty training and other puppy behaviors, puppy proofing of your home and yard, or just to find out about fun activities to do together as a team. The consult is unscripted and a chance for you to get individualized attention in your home or wherever you want assistance.
