WHERE DO WE
START?
INITIAL CONSULT
All client-dog-trainer relationships begin with a90-minute session (approx. 2 hours for multi-dog homes), that takes place in-person, in the comfort of your own home.
The session is entirely yours, designed for you to feel heard and to share your concerns and challenges without judgement.
We'll delve right in to your dog's history, personality and routine, then together, set some clear goals for training, with an action plan you can feel confident in for moving forward.
You will also receive immediate recommendations and starting points, as well as a set of follow-up notes, in order to relieve stress, ease prominent difficulties, spark motivation and get you set up on the right track from Day 1!
*It is important that you are prepared to make potential changes to your dog's walking equipment, routine, diet, environment and to your own daily habits to give us the best possible results.
By moving onto the next phase - where the 'magic' happens, it will ensure we are with you every step of the way.
CONSULT RATE: $250

BASIC MANNERS & OBEDIENCE
No matter the age or breed, it's never too late to implement good routines into daily life with your dog.
Teaching them how to properly respond to instructions relevant to your lifestyle not only serves to instill healthy manners and boundaries, but also confidence and security for you and your family.
FEAR & INSECURITY
Whether your dog is mildly shy, or displaying significantly fearful behaviors, identifying what steps to take to help them overcome such fears can be upsetting and overwhelming. Proud Paws takes a great deal of care and sensitivity in working with the fearful dog, assisting pet parents in developing techniques for your loved one to feel more confident in the world around them.
TAMING THE
TEENAGER
Adolescence can bring with it an unexpected set of challenges where the fun-loving puppy has now become a rowdy, unfocused and non-compliant mischief-maker! Learn how to creatively change your training tactics and maintain structure in order to keep the relationship with your dog in tact and begin to feel sane again!
LEASH REACTIVITY
Dogs that bark, lunge or growl at other dogs on leash, or even at people and objects can be worrisome, frustrating and embarrassing. Delve into deciphering where these behaviors are coming from and how to remedy them so that you can achieve a manageable and enjoyable walking experience.
OTHER COMMON BEHAVIOR CHALLENGES
When your dog misbehaves or struggles to learn, it can be confusing, frustrating and result in an endless cycle of ineffective communication. Get the support you need to rekindle that faith in your future with your dog by working through those communication issues and developing effective protocols to behavioral issues, as well as remedies to mending that all important relationship with your best pal!
