Depending on the situation, I will teach this six-hour program in either 90-minute or two-hour intervals. You may purchase this package in full for $575. If you hire me by the hour, the cost is $600.
Behavior Modification - $100/hr.
This program is designed to modify or alter existing dog behaviors that you find unacceptable or even dangerous. This is often more challenging simply because I have to pinpoint the problem and either counter-condition or desensitize your dog to the existing issues. Some examples of unacceptable behavior include the following:
- Aggression (There Are Many Forms)
- Barking
- Coprophagia (Consumption of Feces)
- Destructive Tendencies
- Digging
- Fear
- Guarding or Territorial Problems
- Jumping on Guests
- Prey Drive
- Separation Anxiety
After my initial assessment, I will determine whether I can effectively help you or not. I am candid by nature and I tell people what I think. You wouldn’t call a plumber if you had a toothache. You would call a dentist. You contacted me because you needed professional advice about your dog. I owe it to you, myself, and your dog to share with you my candor and honesty, so you know what to expect.
If I feel that your dog or the situation exceeds my skill level, I will tell you and recommend someone who has more experience or specializes in your particular situation.
