You will see some changes to my pricing and training sessions. I’ve added a mandatory over-the-phone consultation for $40. This is a flat rate, regardless of how much time we spend talking. I will take time asking you questions about your dog and your goals for your dog. Just as every person is different every dog is different too. It’s important that your training reflects what your dog is capable of and their unique ways of learning as well as it keeps in mind your unique goals for your dog. Everyone has different expectations out of training and I want to help make sure that I am meeting those expectations.

I also got tired of consulting people for free, only to have them no-show or not book at all. This way, I am at least being somewhat compensated for my time. I spend a lot of time curating the perfect training package for you and your dog. No two training sessions are the same. I take into consideration what your dog already knows, what your goals are for your dog, and how your dog will best learn. I take time writing and printing articles for you to take home because I know it’s an overwhelming amount of information I will give you in just one hour.

I am still offering 3 different types of training sessions that all look basically the same still, but what used to be referred to as a “consultation” is now a “problem behaviors” session. I’ve adjusted the prices of these sessions based on my experiences so far to fairly compensate myself, as well as they’ve been adjusted to consider the mandatory price of the phone consultation.

To schedule an over-the-phone consultation you must contact me. My availability for a phone call is much more flexible than my availability for a 1-hour session. Phone consultations are scheduled around my training session availability. I am still available Tuesdays at 11am and 1pm for training sessions in Fort St. James and Saturdays at 12:15pm for training sessions in Vanderhoof (until December 16th).

I hope that this new method of conducting business will make it more fair to myself and the time I commit to each client, as well as more beneficial to each of my clients.

As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
