Our Process

Complimentary Meet and Greets / Consultations

All programs and services come with a complimentary Meet and Greet which is mandatory for all clientele.

Meet and Greets lower the risk of the pet’s anxiety around new people as I become more and more “normal” to them, and allows us to meet in person to go over the next step.

Goal Setting and Program Tailoring

Every family is different - we’ll structure the training around your needs, your wants, and your lifestyle. What may be a rule for one person, may not be for another; such as allowing pets on furniture, allowing pets off leash, preferring advanced obedience, so on and so forth.

Getting Down and Dirty

This is where we begin the training process - where it heavily relies on the consistency and effort of all parties involved.

Every training program comes with detailed instructions, outlines, and homework to practice with.

Management and Support

Even after a dog has graduated from a program successfully, family members will need to use “refreshers” to maintain the memory in the dog’s mind.

For example - I haven’t been to Calculus Class in years, throw me in right now and I’ll get an F!

All graduated dogs will be welcomed back for maintenance support or behavioral modification at any time.

  • "Followed all our needs and requests to a T. Above and beyond after being referred to us.."

  • "The results of Kira's training have been remarkable. She's patient, kind and knowledgeable.."
