Request Dog Training

Step 1: Contact Tara via email to request training: onenesscaninecare@proton.me

Please provide the following information in your email: 

• Where you are located 
• General information about your dog: name, age, breed, training goals, and anything else you'd like to share (we'll cover all the details during our initial call) 
• Your contact info
• How you heard about me

Next, we'll set up an initial call to give us a chance to connect. Plan for about 30 minutes. During or shortly after the call, we'll set up an appointment for a meet & greet with you and your dog. 

Step 2: Meet & Greet

We can set up an in-person or virtual consultation (meet & greet) to discuss: 

• Your training goals
• History of behaviors
• Previous training 
• Medical issues
• Details about training lessons, rates and additional fees

Our meet & greet is a great way for both of us to determine if we are a good fit. There is no obligation to proceed. Please plan for approximately one hour. There is no charge for the meet & greet.

Private training is for one dog at a time. If you have other dogs you'd like to enroll in training, this would require a separate consultation.

Step 3: Client Portal Account

Following our meet & greet and prior to the start of training, I will email you a link to create an account in the Time to Pet portal. I use this system for scheduling, storing client and pet information, and processing payments.

The software will allow you to:

• Enter your name, address and contact info
• Enter pet details
• E-sign the service agreement
• Enter credit card data (you will not be charged until services are complete)
• Review invoice charges 
• Manage services

You can also use your account for pet sitting services if needed.

Puppy Training (8 weeks-1 year)

Foundational training for your new puppy can include: 

• Potty and crate/pen training
• No jumping
• No nipping
• Walking nicely on leash
• Confidence building
• Greeting other dogs
• Basic cues (sit, stay, down, etc.)

Puppy training can help prevent behavioral issues as your pup develops. As he/she progresses, we can include more advanced training techniques.

- Initial puppy session: $165

   (90-min includes assessment plus training)
- Follow up lessons (each): $110

   (60-min includes review of previous session plus add-on training)
 

Dog Training Basics (1 year or older)

New dog at home or your dog needs further reinforcement? The Dog Training Basics level is designed to focus on foundational training and more advanced techniques with the 3Ds (distance, duration and distraction), impulse control, redirection exercises and recall. 

- Initial session: $165

  (90-min includes assessment plus training)
- Follow up lessons (each): $110 

  (60-min includes review of previous session plus add-on training)

Dogs who have completed Puppy Training with me can start Dog Training Basics (no initial session required).
 

Behavior Specific Training (ideal for adult dogs)

Are you dealing with some concerning behavior while at home or on walks? We can focus on specific behaviors such as: 

• Continued potty accidents at home
• Chewing
• Impulse control
• Leash reactivity
• Pulling on leash
• Stress greeting strangers or visitors
• Excessive barking
• Separation anxiety
• Territorial behavior
• Resource guarding
• Many other behaviors

- Initial session: $225

  (90-min includes assessment plus training)
- Follow up lessons (each): $150

  (60-min includes review of previous session plus add-on training)

Refresher Lessons (optional for all dogs who have completed training with me)

Refreshers are a great way to focus a specific area you'd like to work on (i.e.: pulling on leash), especially if we've done training on this particular issue before. 

- Refresher (30-min): $55

- Refresher (60-min): $110

Follow up lessons and Refreshers can be done virtually or in-person.

All rates are for one dog. Additional dogs would require a separate initial session and follow up lessons. 

Rates are subject to change. You will receive advance notice of any rate changes. 

All training sessions include tips about enrichment and engagement exercises to do with your dog at home.

Training packs are a bundle of multiple training sessions sold at a discounted rate to help maintain everything we cover during our lessons. By committing to training packs, you and your dog have a higher chance of success.

• Training packs are discounted sessions paid upfront. 
• Training packs do not include the initial session.
• Each lesson may be scheduled on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis.
• Packs must be used within 6 months of purchase.
• We can schedule all pack sessions at one time or along the way.
• Training lessons must be rescheduled with at least 5 days notice, otherwise you may forfeit the lesson. I will absolutely do my best to reschedule your session.
• Sessions must be completed within 5 months from the first session (excluding the initial).
• Training Packs may be renewed when completed at the current rate (which may be different than the cost of the pack previously purchased).
• Training packs may not be transferred or shared.
• Refreshers are single sessions and cannot be purchased as a pack.
