*** We are still open for business. We have made changes to allow for CDC guidelines to be followed. Group class size will be limited and in home lessons will be held outdoors to allow for social distancing.
I am fully vaccinated and I am happy to wear a mask at your request.
Video consultations and lessons are still available for those that feel more comfortable not meeting in person.***
Training Options:
Private Lessons:
* All private lessons for dogs over 6 months require a consultation before booking sessions. (See consultation information below. This is charged separately from sessions).
Private lessons are where the trainer comes to your home. Behavior modification (see below), basic obedience, manners, house training, advance skills, emotional support training, and more. Programs are tailored to your specific needs. If you prefer one on one attention, flexible schedule, written follow up and resources, or have multiple dogs, private lessons are ideal. These are also great for dogs that lack the confidence or social skills to be in a group class. Families are welcome and encouraged to participate in training. All methods are family and dog friendly
4 sessions: (4 one hour sessions)
$395 plus tax
6 sessions: (6 one hour lessons)
$585 plus tax
10 sessions (10 one hour lessons)
$895 plus tax
* 6 or 10 session package is ideal for puppies and also for owners that would like field trips to locations like parks and other settings. There is no extra charge for up to one extra dog per family.
*** There is additional travel fee for Volcano/Hakalau/Kona/Waimea/Ocean View areas
Behavior Modification Consult:
This 90 min consult allows me to get a proper history, a detailed picture of what is going on and then come up with a prognosis and a training plan. This is the first step in behavior modification programs. In each consultation you will get an orientation and foundation training exercises. For behavior modification you will be advised on what package would be suggested for follow up training.
$155 in person***
*** There is additional travel fee for Volcano/Hakalau/Kona/Waimea/Ocean View areas
$125 for virtual/phone/video:
Video sessions for behavior issues as well as basic training can be just as effective as in person training. Most clients comment that it is really the humans that need training, not the dog. So I do not need to be there to coach you, we can work together via video chats.
This is a GREAT option for those that dogs that may not like other dogs/people or humans that may not feel comfortable handling their dogs in group classes. I am able to gather the information needed and then develop a plan to coach you through video. Not only can we do behavior modification but I can coach you for fear free vet visits, trick training, basic manners, and essential puppy skills. The entire family can participate and we can even craft fun classes for just the kids.
You get my education, expertise and assistance, the same as if you were meeting with me in person.
Ohana Board and Train: Customized board and train in my home.
This is not your typical board and train or boot camp. Dogs are not kenneled all day or left alone overnight. Your dog will get consistent training while living as a part of our family. A home environment is less stressful for your dog and easier for them to learn in. Fully fenced yard on a quiet street. Text updates through out their training. No force, no fear, no shock, prong or choke collars. Positive reinforcement based training that is easily transferred to you and your ohana. Your dog will be socialized around other dogs, my son, and enjoy field trips. Having your dog live with me in a home environment allows me to know your dog and to customize your training plan and give your dog the jump start they need. $985 per week. 2 week minimum, 3 week suggested.
2 weeks: Basic behaviors: sit, down, go to bed, wait, walking on leash, leave it, come, name game, target.
All behaviors will be demonstrated upon pick up with 20-30min private lesson and paperwork
that outlines everything I worked on. Follow up support by text or email.
3 weeks: Basic behaviors: sit, down, go to bed, wait, walking on leash, drop it, leave it, come, name game, and
other customized behaviors you are wanting. Includes 20-30 min private lesson when you pick up the dog
and one private lesson on Hilo side, within 3 months of training.
