Affordable Dog Training

Affordable programs, free follow-ups, lifetime training support, & flexible payment plans.

How To Start Training

Choose, book, & schedule:

Choose your dog’s training program. Need help? Contact me, and I’ll guide you to the right choice. Click the booking button to pay a deposit or the total amount, then contact me for an invoice and training contract. You can also contact me to receive an invoice first. E-sign the contract, send proof of your dog’s vaccinations, and we’ll set a date to start training.

You can schedule lessons every day from 10 am-7 pm. Lessons in your home are 1 hour, drop-off lessons are 2 hours. It’s ideal for lessons to happen three times per week. Scheduling is flexible, so the days and times can change from week to week. Any cancellations are rescheduled, so you never lose a lesson.

Payment plans:

The cost of all training programs can be broken up into three payments. 25% of the program’s total cost is due at booking, 25% is due the day training starts, and the remaining 50% is due two weeks after training starts.

Training tools:

An ET-300 Mini Educator made by E-Collar Technologies Inc. is provided at no extra cost. I understand these tools are not for everyone, and training without an e-collar is possible with some limitations.
