New Client Consult
Our training journey begins with your New Client Consult. This one-hour in-home session will give us the opportunity to get to know one another better and explore options to meet your training needs.
Puppy parents can expect advice on potty training best practices and help creating a schedule, tips for addressing nipping and biting, and directions for getting started on the basics. New adult dog parents can expect similar, age-based content designed to help integrate your new family member. Those pet parents with more unique challenges can look forward to the professional support and guidance you need to address your special circumstance.
ALL parents will receive a list of vocabulary words, tips for working training into normal daily activities, and homework intended to help you start living life Better Together. You may also wish to add a virtual follow-up booked within two weeks, at no additional charge.

Follow-up Sessions Rates/Packages
After the initial consult, many will need follow-up sessions. Follow-up sessions are 30-45 minutes, depending on the dog and the difficulty of the task. These personalized sessions will be more focused with the goal of fine-tuning and/or advancing your skills and relationship, and can take place anywhere you choose. Some examples include: your home, the park, the local farmer’s market, or your favorite patio.

Agility For Fun & Confidence
4 weeks/ $160
Is your dog shy, fearful, and/or moderately reactive? If so, then this class might be for you!
Agility isn’t just for competition. It’s a great way to build self-assurance and help your dog overcome fears. This four-week class will introduce easy obstacles using a positive approach that builds confidence in your dog and trust in your leadership. It’s PERFECT for pups struggling with sureness, exhibiting shyness in strange situations, or showing moderate reactivity with strangers or other dogs. It’s GREAT for big, clumsy dogs who need to learn to appreciate their back feet. It’s TERRIFIC for focusing mental energy, and it’s just plain FUN!
Some basic obedience skills are required, but mastery isn’t necessary. Ask if this class is right for you.

5 weeks/ $200
Did you spend pandemic time teaching your dog everything but social skills? Now that things have re-opened are you discovering your pooch is afraid of strangers, street noises, and other dogs? If so, then this is the class for YOU!
Modeled after the very successful Adventure Puppy class, we will use our time to focus on building confidence and creating positive social experiences for your dog. This 5-week session will begin with two weeks of agility to help your dog learn confidence in trying new things and trust in your leadership. The next two weeks will introduce public spaces such as a park and/or downtown area. In our final week, we’ll visit one of NWA’s dog-friendly patios.
