Option 1: 

1 session - 5 hours ($450+HST) 

What we will cover:
Practical application on how to live with your new puppy. Together, I'll walk you through step by step on what I do daily when raising a puppy. Throughout the day we will also cover theory on how dogs perceive the world. During that time we will give your pup ample time to rest. 

• We will focus on impulse control with the front door, exiting the crate, and feeding meals

• How to engage with your pup on walks (e.g. environmental agility)

• How to appropriately handle your pup with putting on gear and taking gear off. 

• How to teach your pup to settle versus how to play with your pup. 

• We will visit home depot, bone and biscuit, and/ or go to pet friendly coffee shop to teach your pup how to socialize your pup 

Benefits: 

- We work through some of the difficult situations that arise e.g. learning what to do when a puppy becomes overstimulated and overwhelmed versus when the puppy is seeking engagement.

Limitations: 

- Lots of information for the humans to take in on day

Option 2: 

6 session - 75 minutes each  ($600) 

What we will cover:

Session 1: Crate training & setting up a schedule 

• Session 2: Thresholds at the door

• Session 3: Environmental Agility on walks

• Session 4: Handling and grooming

• Session 5: Play 

• Session 6:  Basic Obedience (sit and down) 

• Session 7: Socialization 

Benefits: 

- Allows more integration of the information. Goals may feel more manageable goals to work on throughout the week. 

Limitations: 

- If the puppy hasn't had enough rest before training session it might limit what work we can do hands on with the puppy as it is more important for the pup's development that they get ample rest.
