First Lesson
I reserve up to two hours. We use as much of that time as we need. No rushing. We define the goals, agree to the approach, then get to work. It’s remarkable how much we can get accomplished in this first lesson.

More than one dog?
I never charge for multiple dogs. I’m training one household — not counting dogs.

I will never sell you more training than I believe your family needs. If one lesson solves the problem, great. If you need more support, I’ll tell you that too.
My goal isn't to sell the most lessons. It's to help you get where you want to go as efficiently as we can.
images/pricing-promise.jpgFAQ
Do I have to sign up for a whole program?
No. Start with one lesson. We’ll work on the problem or goal that brought you to me, and from there I’ll tell you honestly whether I think you need more help. Packages are available if you want them, but they’re never required.
What if I have more than one dog?
Bring them on! I never charge extra for more than one dog.
How long is the first lesson?
I leave a two-hour block, which surprises people used to a 60-minute lesson. An hour is often over before we’ve figured out what is actually going on, defined the goal, and agreed on how we’ll get there. Some situations take less time. Others need the full two hours. We use the time we need.
Do you work with clients outside Florida?
Yes. One-hour virtual behavior consultations are available anywhere for $75.
Virtual ConsultationsWhere do lessons take place?
We often begin at home, but training can move into parks, shops, restaurants, neighborhoods, friends’ homes, or wherever you actually want your dog to succeed.
What methods or tools do you use?
Training is individualized. I use the methods, communication, and tools that make sense for the dog, the family, and the goal. I don’t believe every dog needs the same tool or should be trained through the same methodology. The dog in front of me determines the plan.
Can you help with aggression or reactivity?
Yes. I work with behavior problems including reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and resource guarding. Start by telling me what's happening. I'll ask questions and determine the safest, most practical place to begin.
What if I don’t know what kind of training my dog needs?
You don't need to. Tell me what's happening and what you'd like life with your dog to look like. Figuring out what will help is my job!
Is there any proof the training works at home?
I married a client. Then I trained him. Make of that what you will. If that’s not proof, I don’t know what is.
