A Dog's Dharma
Services, a variety of dog plans to fit your needs

Behavioral Consultation
$150 (90-minute session)
Your dog is perfect, except _____ (fill in blank). Not sure where to begin or even how to stop your dog from going potty in the house, creating toothpicks from your furniture, greeting guests with a body slam, or any other inappropriate behaviors?

Kris will meet with you in your home, discuss your dog’s history, current situation and your goals. Instead of a preset agenda of lessons that you may or may not use outside of the classroom, you will have a personalized plan that is based on your lifestyle and desired results.

Private Lessons
$100 each (60-minute lessons)
After the Behavioral Consultation, Kris will create a plan based on the coaching model that integrates your goals with your lifestyle. These sessions are weekly or bi-weekly private in-home lessons. Kris teaches you how to train your dog and you will have homework after each lesson.

Whether you want to learn basic manners or need help with behavior issues, your dog will become a well-mannered member of the family.

Tristan Sit Stay Common goals are:
  • Basic cues (sit, down, stay, come, leave it, etc.)
  • Walking nicely with your dog
  • Potty training
  • Polite greetings
  • Managing high energy, adolescent dogs
  • Biting/nipping
  • Handling multiple dog household

Day Training in Your Home
$100 (60-minute lessons), 6 lessons minimum
Kris trains your dog one-on-one!

No time to train your dog yourself? Torn between sending him off to camp for 2+ weeks, yet would miss your buddy in the evenings? Day Training may just be the answer. Kris will come to your home during the day to train your best friend while you are at work. Each session is an hour long, Tuesday - Thursday. Minimum 2 weeks.

You won't have to learn the mechanics of how to train your dog. At the end of the program, we will have a Transfer Lesson (included in the lesson pricing). In this session, we will discuss the skills your dog has learned. Because your dog already knows these cues, he will be more lenient on your learning curve. At this point, we will decide if additional lessons are needed or this is the jumpstart you were looking for and it will be completely handed off to you.
