In-Home Orientation

$500

In-Home Orientation consists of a one-time, three-hour visit to your home to assess your dog and its current skill level. We mostly look at two vital components: how socially assertive or socially passive your dog is, and how neurologically stable or unstable they are.

After this, we focus on addressing the specific issues that you have with your dog as well as what you want to achieve with your dog. We’ll help you become more fluent in “canine through essential concepts taught in Chapter 9 of Speak Dog!, which include tone, timing, and consistency, the only language a dog truly understands.

We provide you, the owner, with a natural and loving way to lead your dog and assert yourself as your pup’s leader, thus building a genuine relationship that be trusted on later for 100% obedience, 100% of the time.
