*Packages are good for 4 months from the first training session

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

  1. Consultation and Training Plan: The program begins with a consultation to understand your dog's needs and goals. We will create a personalized training plan tailored to your dog's specific requirements and behaviors.

  2. Duration and Scheduling: Bark+Train consists of four consecutive weeks of training sessions. Each session is one hour in length and conducted with just the dog and our trainer. These individual sessions allow for focused attention and tailored training techniques. We concentrate on one primary cue or behavior (with the possibility of incorporating a second cue if approved by the trainer). Please note that our program focuses on basic commands only. What’s better than that? The day of daycare is INCLUDED in the cost of the Bark+Train program!

  3. Transfer Session: The transfer session, which includes the dog trainer and the owner, must be scheduled either during the same week as the last training session or the following week.

  4. Email Support and Resources: Throughout the program, you will receive email support, including homework assignments, valuable tips, and video references. These resources will assist you in continuing the training progress at home and reinforcing the behaviors initiated by the trainer.
