1:1 Training Packages

Let’s face it, not all dogs come programmed with the skills to learn in highly distracting locations, let alone in the presence of other dogs and their humans. And to be honest, if we can let you in on a little secret, as much as we love offering limited group classes, we also don’t believe that the best learning actually even happens in these environments. If we want to set our dogs up to be successful and skill them up to eventually, one-day, some-day, have the ability to focus on you in the presence of distraction (dog, human, bunnies, etc.) we have to be willing to put in the work at home first. We offer both virtual, in-person, or a mix, depending on the location of our clients and the particular struggle they are facing.

Puppy Package

First time dog owner or looking to raise a puppy with concept-based training and games or maybe it's just been a while since you had a puppy in your home? We'll we make sure you’re not only ready to bring your new family member home, but the first few weeks are a success.

This package covers concepts you’ll want to be ready to implore on Day 1 as well as checklists for supplies if needed. This package includes:

  • 1, 90 minute consult (in-person subject to location);

  • followed by 2, 30 minute virtual consults or 1, 60 minute follow-up if in-person is preferred;

  • e-books and worksheets to help with toilet training and common puppy struggles;

  • unlimited messenger or email support while we work together.

Already have puppy? No worries! We can tailor our time together to grow Optimism, Confidence and Calm in your puppy, just like we would if we were in an in-person class. We're happy to work with you and your pup even if they have already been home a few days, weeks (or months) and can customize the package for you.

Transformation Plan

Together, we will hone in on the concepts your dog could use help with, including discussion of management tips and techniques that can be implemented on day 1. During our time working together, we encourage clients to use Facebook messenger to send videos of training session highlights. Many of the games only need a few minutes each day.

This package includes:

  • 3-4 sessions over the course of 4-6 weeks, depending on time and availability.

  • We start with a 90 minute initial consult to really get the history on your dog and your current top struggle (in-person, subject to location).

  • We will ask you to fill out a behavior questionnaire ahead of time which helps us prepare.

  • Follow-up sessions are typically 60 minutes long (though if easier, we can split into 30 or 45 minute sessions) and held virtually giving us the opportunity to cover the Transformation Plan, resources or videos sent electronically, and troubleshoot areas as well as celebrate any wins you've had.

As long as you commit to your dog's Transformation Plan, we're confident you will see real life results within our time working together.

*For multi-dog households or depending on the severity of the struggle, we can get started with a Transformation Package but then will likely need additional sessions, or a continued approach, which will be billed separately.

Single In-Person Consult

Best for dog/owner teams already practicing games-based training or group class students looking for 1:1 support. We’ll guide you through and help troubleshoot games you may already be playing at home. All resources shared electronically. Our in-person service area is currently restricted to the Chequamegon Bay (Ashland, Bayfield, Washburn).
