Video Online Dog Training and Behaviour Consults - $50/hr
What are the benefits of online behaviour and training consults? During the COVID-19 crisis, online consults allow you to get assistance with your dog training needs, behaviour modification while you are self isolating and have the time to spend on training your dogs. Consults can occur in the comfort of your own home. You can even wear your pajamas if you want. :)

What types of issues are you able to deal with online? Pretty much any issue can be addressed virtually. From basic puppy issues such as house training, jumping up, mouthing, all the way to reactivity and resource guarding cases.
What do I need to do on my end as the client? Contact us via email, let us know what you need assistance with and when you are available for an online session and we will send you our enrollment form/waiver and the link to join the session. All you will need is an internet connection. The link that is sent to you will walk you through the process.
How long is the session? Session time varies per case, but generally anywhere from 30-90 minutes per session.
