Private manners training

Private lessons take place in your home within a fifteen-mile radius of Wilmington. Initial sessions run about 1.5 hours for $120, with one-hour follow-ups at $90. All training is reward-based and uses food liberally, and handouts and video links come at no extra cost.

Behavior modification

Behavior clients complete an online questionnaire before scheduling. If the case is accepted, the initial consultation of 1.5 to 2 hours is $200 and follow-ups are $120. Remote consultations by Zoom are available for dogs too distressed by a home visit and for clients farther away.

What to ask

Ask about travel fees beyond the service radius and current availability.
