The method, stated plainly

The site's line is "Positive Leadership Dog Training", and the position is set out without hedging: they are "focused on not only training your pet, but teaching owners how to effectively communicate with them, without using fear, submission or intimidation". They also state a belief worth quoting for anyone with an older dog: "it's never too late to change our pet's behavior."

Prices, published in full

Single sessions are $100 for 30 minutes or $150 for one hour, covering new obedience skills, refreshing old ones or fixing problem behaviors.

How it is delivered

All training is in-home, with the trainer traveling to the client, and an evaluation is offered for owners unsure which package fits. The site names Kayla as the person to contact and describes a team page, and the business is described as AKC-CGC certified.

Who it suits

Owners who want force-free coaching at home with a published price, puppy owners wanting a structured AKC STAR course, and owners of older or special-needs dogs.
