  • Guardians curious about clicker & positive reinforcement training

During an online session, we'll meet to discuss your goals and seek answers to your questions. If you already have a dog, you'll fill us in on your dog's history and behaviors. If you don't, we'll talk about what to expect and how to set yourself up for success!

There is no obligation to proceed. A consultation may be sufficient for some clients.

​

All new private clients require this first step so we can best determine how we can help you and your pup. This also means we can head straight into training for your first scheduled session! If for some reason you feel a consultation isn't necessary, please book a 15-minute call with us or contact us.

​

Scheduling will be a priority for those who indicate they intend to purchase additional services during the consultation. 

AFTER THE CONSULT YOU WILL:

  • have a stronger understanding of how your dog learns

  • get tips to help your dog succeed

  • gain insight on how to set realistic training or behavior modification goals

  • have some easy solutions for immediate relief

  • get a follow-up resource guide specific to your situation

  • have recommendations for services that match your needs

​

In addition, you'll receive a $50 discount if additional services are booked within 48 hours

 

​

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW

  • We accept credit cards for online payment. If you prefer to pay with cash via Venmo or Zelle, please let us know in advance.

  • Show proof of recent adoption within the last two months and get $50 off the total for private booked services (does not include initial consultation or group classes)

SERVICE AREA 

  • We serve Hyde Park and the surrounding areas. Specifically, this is the area east of the Dan Ryan, between 18th and 79th. Depending on availability we may travel to additional areas on the south or near west sides. Keep in mind that training and coaching can be done virtually so please reach out to inquire if you think you might be outside our service area!

​

​

NOT SO SMALL PRINT

  • All classes, private training, and coaching packages are prepaid, non-refundable, and non-transferable. Sessions may only be rescheduled in the event of an emergency or illness such as testing positive for COVID-19. Because the majority of our services are private, we work with a specific number of clients and space is limited. We cannot easily accommodate changes. We also want what's best for your dog: commitment and consistency. Rescheduling is not guaranteed and will be done at the discretion of the service provider and in some instances will incur a fee of $55. In the event of inclement weather, illness or transportation issues, an in-person session will be moved to virtual so you can stay on track with your program.

Please be advised that we are currently not qualified to handle severe aggression cases or instances where professionally diagnosed separation anxiety is your only concern. Most trainers are not, despite offers to “fix” your dog. If your dog is severely aggressive or poses a threat to itself, other humans or animals and/or has an attack history, we will be able to refer you to a highly qualified individual or business. Or feel free to search on your own for a certified and qualified behaviorist here and here. If you would still like to discuss your dog and have us help you determine your options, please feel free to book a consult.
