Puppy Training

Does your puppy…

  • Have potty accidents in the house?
  • Chew on everything, including you?
  • Cry when you leave the house (or the room)?
  • Need help greeting people politely?
  • Show fear in new situations/places?

We can help! 

We offer two options for puppy training. 

A. Puppy 101 consultation: Our in-person (masked) consultation fee is $225 (if you live in *Bloomington or Normal) and the session lasts about 90 minutes. 
 
During the Puppy 101, Bob will meet you and your puppy, do an initial behavioral evaluation, share some strategies and educational information about basic puppy issues like house training, crate training, chewing, play biting, and puppy socialization, as well as discuss the training goals you have in mind for your puppy specific to your situation. You will also receive a detailed written evaluation emailed a few days after the appointment, as well as multiple educational handouts and a customized training plan for moving forward.

 
OR
 
B. Puppy Headstart: With this option, you get two separate (masked) hours – before AND after you bring your puppy home. During the first hour Bob will offer information about how prepare your home, gather the right supplies, and assist with other details to help you and your puppy get off on the right paw from the very beginning, including house training preparation and socialization information. The second hour is scheduled soon after you bring your puppy home, and includes help with the same preliminary training provided in the Puppy 101. Both sessions include a written report, educational information, and a customized training plan for moving forward. The cost is $250 (if you live in *Bloomington/Normal).

Step 2. After the initial consultation, Bob will customize a training plan based on your dog’s assessment and your training goals. We offer two options for follow-up training:
