How booking works

1. Select your preferred training option and add it to your cart, or request a custom quote if you are unsure.
2. At checkout, use the order notes to share key details about your dog (age, breed or mix, history, goals, current challenges, and any bite history).
3. Within one business day we contact you to confirm your schedule, send a short intake form and waiver, and finalize your plan.
4. On the training day, your trainer arrives during the agreed window, works through the session plan, and sends a recap afterward.

Notes and policies

• Minimum booking is one hour for private sessions.
• If your dog has a bite history or serious aggression concerns, an initial assessment and additional safety planning are required before scheduling.
• Any safety muzzle that may be required must be provided by the owner and properly fitted.
• Sessions can be rescheduled or cancelled up to 24 hours in advance at no charge; late changes may incur a fee.
• Travel outside the core service area and indoor facility or court rentals are billed separately when needed.
