Manners (any breed of dog)
Puppy Training (any breed of dog)
We solve behavior & training problems - and help prevent them! How It All Works: Step 1: Contact us about our services. Email: Positivegundogsmn@ymail.com or call 612-701-7217 now to be on your way toward a well mannered dog! Step 2: Initial consultation. ($155) 60-90 minutes. All training programs begin with an in-depth consultation where we evaluate your dog and determine your training goals. We then design a training plan that will get the results you want and agree on a schedule. We offer remote consults via skype. Step 3: One-on-one training lessons 60 minutes each. ($125) (We offer discounted packages based on what we observe at the initial consult). The number of sessions depend on your training goal, but most common manners problems can be addressed in 3 or 4 sessions (deeply ingrained behavior issues take longer). |
