What Makes This Training Different

Behaviour training sessions are structured weekly to create consistency and forward momentum, while giving your dog time to process and adjust. Meeting regularly helps reduce setbacks and allows progress to build steadily without rushing.

Training focuses on understanding your dog’s emotional responses, strengthening coping skills, and addressing behaviour at its root — not simply suppressing symptoms or relying on force.

After each session, you’ll receive written follow-up notes outlining what we covered, along with clear, step-by-step guidance to continue confidently between visits.
​
Ongoing support is available between sessions and beyond. You’re welcome to reach out by text or email, so you’re never left unsure how to respond when challenges arise.

Investment

Training begins with an initial in-home consultation. This first session allows us to meet in person, assess your dog’s behaviour concerns, and determine whether the program is the right fit.

Initial In-Home Consultation: $160
This consultation is the only investment required upfront. During our time together, we’ll review your dog’s behaviour, environment, and goals, and outline the most appropriate training plan moving forward.
​
If you choose to continue, behaviour training is delivered as a structured 4–8 session in-home program designed to provide consistency, clarity, and time for meaningful progress. Sessions are scheduled weekly so skills and coping strategies can build steadily.
​
4-session Behaviour Support Program: $600 (+HST)
6-session Behaviour Support Program: $870 (+HST)
8-session Behaviour Support Program: $1120 (+HST)
