A consultation is to be conducted prior to the beginning of any lessons because I need to know your dog’s temperament, activity level, quirks, environment, etc., and the goals and expectations you have for your dog. 

All lessons are conducted by Marcela, and the program to be used is tailored specifically for your dog on a one-on-one setting.  Sessions will be scheduled depending on your dog’s progression because dogs are individuals and they learn at their own pace.

Level I Dog Behavior & Training – 5 (1 hr.) lesson package

• Behavior will include:
  • Star working on loose-leash walking
  • Owning your space/place
  • Doors – there’s no bolting out an open door
• Training cues:
  • Name game

  • Come

Ideal for puppies and newly adopted dogs regardless of age.  This is a good introduction to the above cues, doggie manners, and reinforcement of good behavior.
