Pawsitive Guidance -
What I offer
As a certified professional dog trainer, I’m here to help you make life with your canine best friend
more enjoyable in ways that are fun for everyone involved. All private sessions are customized to
ensure we are targeting your specific goals and concerns, and addressing the needs of your dog(s).
Out of Town Sessions:
The rates listed here are for Grand Island, NE. Due to fuel expenses and time lost to travel, I add a small fee for in-person appointments outside of Grand Island. Those rates are figured into the totals shown on the scheduling link I’ll send you via email.
Cancellation Policy:
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least a 24-hour notice to allow the appointment to go to someone else. Appointments canceled within the 24-hour window will not be refunded. (In the event of illness or emergency, exceptions may be made.)
Payment Options:
Consultation and individual appointments are paid for during scheduling.
Payments for a package will be due prior to or during the scheduling of your first session. These can be purchased at our consultation and paid for with Cash, Credit or Debit by Square, Venmo, PayPal, or purchased online during scheduling.
Initial Consultation
(Step 1 for all options)
$149
(Virtual - $159)
A 90-minute, information packed meeting. We’ll go over how dogs learn, why I teach the way I do, and how it can improve the bond between you and your dog(s). We’ll dive into your goals and concerns and form a general plan for how to reach your goals.
Packages
6-Session
Training Package
$549
Comprehensive and engaging 60-minute sessions conducted in the comfort of your own home, specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of you and your dog(s) while considering your individual circumstances. I recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to ensure you’re comfortable continuing with the training before we conclude our work together.
6-Session Virtual
Training Package
$599
60-minute sessions conducted via Zoom.
These virtual sessions eliminate the stress and excitement that can come with having a stranger enter your home. As a result, this often leads to more focused training time. Additionally, this online format allows us to bypass any travel fees, which means you can enjoy the benefits of professional training no matter where you’re located, even if you happen to be outside of my usual service area.
9-Session
Training Package
$839
60-minute sessions that take place in the comfort of your own home, expertly tailored to suit you, your dog(s), and your unique individual needs.
Certain behavioral concerns may require a bit more time and attention. New puppies who are still learning the ropes, dogs who are struggling with fear or reactivity, as well as those facing challenges like resource guarding or aggressive behaviors, often benefit from extended guidance to help them thrive.
Individual Sessions
In-home Training Session
$99
A comprehensive and engaging 60-minute session conducted in the comfort of your own home, specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of you and your dog(s) while considering your individual circumstances. This single-session option can be especially useful for refreshing and fine-tuning techniques you've learned before, serving as a convenient add-on to a previously purchased package, or effectively managing a specific behavior that you would like to address.
Virtual Training Session
$109
A 60-minute session via Zoom offers a wealth of support and insight. This single-session option can be especially useful for discussing complex and often difficult decisions, such as the pros and cons of rehoming, or when it may be time for humane euthanasia to prevent further suffering. It can also serve as an opportunity to fine-tune techniques you've learned before, acting as a convenient add-on to a previously purchased package, or trouble shooting a specific behavior concern.
