Private Training Sessions – $100/hr

Private training sessions cover trainer + dog sessions as well as trainer + owner, and trainer + owner + dog. While most people assume dog training is all about the dog, it’s actually even more human training! Working with and educating the owner of the dog is just as important as working with the dog.

Jessica will only work with owners who are dedicated to their sessions with her as well as the days between sessions, actively working on practicing with their dog and improving things learned.

Off-leash E-collar Training Package – Starting at $850

Includes: E-collar and remote, 6 1-hour private training sessions.

This package reviews basic obedience skills such as sit, down, stay, name recognition and recall during distraction and in different locations. This basic package is for dogs who already have a basic and fairly consistent understanding of the above cues.* Dogs who are not proficient enough in these areas will need additional private training sessions before their off leash e-collar training begins. Jessica does not use the e-collar to teach new behaviors, but rather continue to shape and proof behaviors the dog is already aware of, in order to establish quickness and consistency.

Please keep in mind that each dog learns at their own pace, in their own understanding, and that learning and growth is not always linear or as fast as others! Jessica always focuses on and makes recommendations based on the dog in front of her, and not the human’s desire for specific timelines.

We are working on building bonds, consistency and a dog who is happy and willing to do what is asked.

We practice safe hiking obedience by yielding to others on trail by holding a sit stay or down stay until released. Dogs who complete the off-leash e-collar training package bypass the evaluation and fee, and immediately schedule their intro to groups hike.
