Invest in Your Puppy’s Development

Every puppy is unique, but all puppies thrive with consistency. That’s why I offer both flexible one-hour sessions and structured weekly programs. Whether you’re looking for support with specific behaviors or want the full program of socialization and training, I’ll provide expert guidance to help your puppy grow with confidence.

Individual Sessions — $125

Each session is 1 hour and designed for families who want flexibility and focused support. Perfect for:

  • Introducing new skills

  • Addressing specific behaviors

  • Guidance as your puppy grows

  • Supplemental coaching alongside your own training efforts

Individual sessions give you the tools you need, when you need them, with professional guidance tailored to your puppy’s developmental stage.

Puppy Development Program

Enrollment is very limited to ensure each family receives dedicated, full support during the critical early stages of development. My focus is on socialization, enrichment, and preventive training that builds a confident, well-adjusted companion.

Because of this small caseload, programs are selective and spaces are reserved for families ready to invest in their puppy’s long-term success.

What’s Included in Every Program

  • Developmental sessions in your puppy’s home and real-world environments

    Visits are typically 45 minutes to 1 hour, with outing days sometimes running longer to allow for travel and unhurried socialization experiences.

  • Positive socialization experiences and confidence-building outings

  • Enrichment activities that channel energy in healthy ways

  • Preventive training support (crate/pen comfort, house training, calm behavior reinforcement)

  • Owner coaching I provide personalized guidance through quick check-ins, text support, and brief in-person conversations to help you carry training over at home.

  • Weekly communication so you stay informed and involved in your puppy’s progress

Early Start Program (8–16 weeks) -$525/week

The critical imprinting window (8–16 weeks) is when puppies are most open to new experiences. Daily, consistent guidance during this stage has a lifelong impact.

This program is designed to:

  • Build confidence through positive socialization and real-world outings

  • Establish healthy routines for house training, rest, and enrichment

  • Prevent common challenges before they become long-term habits

  • Give your family hands-on coaching to start off on the right path

Older Puppies (17+ weeks)

After 16 weeks, puppies may need more structure and patience — especially if socialization has been limited or behavior challenges have already started to emerge. This program provides the guidance and consistency older puppies need to move forward successfully.

This program is designed to:

  • Rebuild confidence if socialization has been missed or delayed

  • Provide structured enrichment and training to encourage calmer behavior

  • Support families in addressing common problem areas (jumping, nipping, pulling, etc.)

  • Strengthen routines that make daily life easier and more predictable

Because every older puppy’s needs are different, program pricing is determined after an initial consult to ensure the right level of support.

Note: Very intensive behavior concerns may require referral to a behaviorist for specialized care.

Optional Add-Ons & Virtual Consults

  • Developmental Drop-In — $50
    (Available only to clients currently enrolled in a program if scheduling allows)
    A developmental boost to support your puppy’s socialization and comfort during the day. These shorter visits provide relief for working families — reinforcing calm behaviors, offering a brief enrichment activity, and giving a potty break as needed. Not a full training session, but an extra layer of support to keep your puppy progressing between program visits.

  • Virtual Consults — $95/hour
    Includes one follow-up email. Perfect for new puppy parents preparing before their pup comes home — we’ll cover the first night, what to purchase, setting up your space, and what to expect in those first few days. Also available for training or socialization guidance when in-person sessions aren’t an option.
