Training Packages
 
The first session is 90 minutes long while all subsequent sessions are 60 minutes.
The first session will include a behavior consultation as well as how to effectively communicate with your dog. All packages include discussions on preventing, controlling, or curing behavior problems.
Private training prices include all dogs in the household. Prices are lowered for people who want to do a group or semi private session. If you are interested in a group session but do not know anyone to take it with you, let me know and I'll see if I can set something up.
You can plan each training session to meet your schedule. While some people prefer to schedule a consistent time once a week, others prefer to space the sessions out.
I normally train in your own home. If you would rather meet at a park for some or all of the sessions I would be happy to discuss that with you.
All courses come with a training manual, written by the trainer, as well as handouts covering common behavior problems.
If you live outside of the St. Cloud area, let me know where you live and I'll be happy to make arrangements to meet with you. To cover travel expenses, I do charge an additional .60 per mile outside of the St. Cloud area.

Group Training
Email me for more information, questions, or to be put on a waiting list. These courses are designed for small groups, consisting of 2 to 6 people. For group sessions, we can meet at a park, someone's house, or we can meet at a new house each week. Email me if you're interested so we can get a class together. Also, list if you would be willing to hold one or all of the classes in your home.

Canine Good Citizen Prep Course & Test
This course will get you ready to take and pass the Canine Good Citizen Test. Testing and Certification will follow the course. Class must have a minimum of 3 dogs.

Rally for Fun
This is an obedience obstacle course that you compete with your dog against other teams. This course is just for fun and no titles or certifications are given. Learn advanced commands such as Front, Finish, Weave, Jump and Tunnel as you take your dog from station to station performing the commands. Will do in privates but would be more fun if held in a small group setting so we can add a little competition to the game.

Reactive Rover
Have a dog that reacts aggressively around other dogs and/or strangers? Let's get a small group together to work around other dogs and handlers in order to better socialize them. You will learn how to handle your dog in these situations, and your dog will learn to ignore the other teams and listen to you.

Fearful Fido
Is your dog anxious, nervous, or scared around new situations, people, or dogs? This course will help your dog gain more confidence when faced with a new stimuli.You will learn how to handle your dog when she is scared and you will also learn confidence building exercises to practice with her. This class can be taken privately or in a small group setting.

Distraction Proofing
Is your dog easily distracted? Is he attentive and obedient inside, but doesn't even know you exist outside? Either in a private session or in a small group class, we'll work your dog around noises, moving objects, food, dogs and people. We'll play games and activities to teach your dog to be in a sit-stay outside and paying attention to you, while ignoring all screaming children, barking dogs and running prey.

Puppy Socialization
For puppies between the ages of 2 and 4 months old. Puppies need a lot of socialization at this age to develop into well behaved adults. We'll get together once a week at someone's house or at a park. Bring the whole family so all the puppies can get socialized around all breeds of dogs and all ages of people. We'll also introduce them to new objects and sounds. It'll be an hour long socialization session consisting of play, handling, desensitizing, and we'll also get out some toys and play some games.
