Setting your puppy up for success from the very beginning is the key to a lifelong partnership built on harmony, trust, and a deep relational bond.
Starting off on the right foot from day one allows you to make the most of this critical imprinting period, laying a strong foundation that will support your puppy for years to come.
In these sessions, we’ll cover essential elements of early puppy life, including feeding, training, household structure and routines, appropriate training equipment, crate training, and thoughtful socialization. Each piece is designed to support your puppy’s nervous system, confidence, and capacity to engage with the world in a balanced way.
Our Coaching Approach
We work with clients using a coaching model designed to support learning, integration, and flexibility. After each session, you’ll receive a detailed written follow-up via email outlining the exercises, techniques, and observations from your lesson. You’ll also receive personalized “homework” that you can practice at your own pace—whether that’s for a few days or several weeks before scheduling your next session.
There is no rigid timeline. You and your dog move forward together in a way that feels sustainable and supportive. Between sessions, ongoing support is available via text, email, or phone so we can troubleshoot, refine, and adjust as needed. Two exchanges per week are included in the package. More frequent exchanges may be purchased for an additional fee.
What Your Private Sessions Include
Every private training session includes far more than the time we spend together in your home. My goal is to provide comprehensive support so you always know exactly what to do between sessions.
Your investment includes:
• Time spent reviewing your intake forms and preparing specifically for your dog before we meet.
• A 90-120 minute in-home coaching session where we work together with your dog in real-life situations.
• Travel time to and from your home.
• Individualized coaching tailored to your dog's behavior, nervous system, and your family's goals.
• A detailed written training plan outlining everything we covered, along with step-by-step exercises and recommendations.
• Follow-up support after your session to answer questions and help you stay on track.
• Continued professional education and over two decades of experience studying behavior, nervous system regulation, nutrition, physiology, and holistic canine wellness so you receive guidance that goes beyond basic obedience training.
If you haven’t yet brought your puppy home but would like guidance ahead of their arrival, you may purchase a Pre-Puppy Consultation to help you prepare your home, routines, and expectations in advance.
This package is designed for puppies up to 9 months of age. If your dog is older than 9 months, please book Training Sessions Adult Dog.
