In-Home Services

  • Initial In-home Session - $145

    The initial in-home session lasts 75-90 minutes, during which we work together to create customized training & management plans for your individual needs.

Our in-home sessions provide a level of customization to help you feel confident implementing the training even after your trainer has left your home.

In-home private sessions in Richmond, VA

In-home sessions are available to those within 30 minutes of the Swansboro/Reedy Creek area. If you prefer in-home sessions but are over the 30 minutes limit (without taking toll roads), I apply a small ‘travel fee’ for gas mileage and travel time. (There’s a 40 minute cap to the travel fee.)

 

Virtual Services

  • Initial Virtual Session - $130

    The initial virtual session lasts 75-90 minutes, during which we work together to create customized training & management plans for your individual needs. In our virtual training sessions, your trainer acts as a teacher, coach, and body language translator for you and your dog by coaching you through cues and exercises via zoom! Virtual private training is a great option if you’re out of range for in-home sessions or you’re looking for more affordable training options.

  • Follow-Up Virtual Session - $90

    Follow-up virtual sessions last 60 minutes, during which your trainer will continue to teach you skills and exercises from your training & management plans and increase the difficulty of the skills you’ve mastered. We also highly encourage clients to prepare any questions or concerns you have between sessions so that we can help to fine-tune your dog’s training and figure out where any additional groundwork needs to be done.
