Virtual Behavior Modification Training

This option consists of Emily or Jolene personally coaching you through the behavior modification process. All members of the family need to be present for sessions. This option is a good fit for pet guardians that have the time to commit to practice in between sessions. Sessions take place once or twice a week depending on the behavior concern(s).

 

* We do not offer training packages that include in-person sessions. We have found that over the years, in-person training does not yield the same results that we have been able to achieve with virtual training. We have found that our presence either stresses the animal out (which affects their ability to learn) or makes them too excited (which also affects their ability to learn). Taking our physical presence out of the equation enables us to get the most organic, real-life results that clients want!*

The cost of training sessions are $140 per hour. This option includes a written report after every session.

 

The first step to getting started would be to schedule an initial consultation. During this consultation, there are three goals that we will accomplish:​

​

  • Gather a thorough history

  • Put together a customized management plan

  • Determine what our behavior modification (training) plan will be

​

Management and dog training go hand-in-hand. We can't be successful in modifying the vast majority of problem behaviors without a modicum of management present. The reason for this is that management prevents the dog from practicing problem behaviors as much as humanly possible. If we conduct a training session, make progress, then allow the dog to practice the problem behaviors multiple times between training sessions, then we're taking two steps forward, three steps back. We're essentially spinning our wheels. Once we have a solid management plan in place, we can then discuss behavior modification.

​

When we discuss the behavior modification plan during the initial consultation, we will set clear, concise training goals, prioritize those goals, then determine how much time we need to get clients well on their way to meeting those goals. 

​

Initial consultations are conducted virtually via Zoom. Clients will receive a recording of the consultation, a detailed written report, and customized plans for you to choose from. The cost of the initial consultation is $150. At the time of booking, a $75 non-refundable deposit will be due. The remaining $75 of the initial consultation amount will be due the day of the session itself. â€‹

A payment plan is available for cat, bird, or dog training!
