Finally, In-Person
Finally we'd love to see you in-person! We can guide you on how to implement the skills, and importantly provide a controlled environment in which to practice.
In-person sessions are run as a small group, however each dog works one at a time. We manage the environment so that exposure to other dogs is controlled.

Initial in-person session
This is your dog's first session with us, & we work with a fake dog! Fake dogs are fabulous in order to set dogs up for success. They are 'real' enough for our dogs to notice, but provide a safe environment to tailor skills.
