Training Built Around Your Dog
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to dog training. Every dog has different needs, experiences, strengths, and challenges, which is why every Two Paws Down training plan is customized to the dog and family in front of me.
We’ll start with a consultation to talk about what you’re experiencing, what you’d like to work on, and what your dog may need. From there, we’ll create a training plan and adjust it as your dog learns and grows.
What Can We Work On?
Training can be customized around a wide range of goals, including:
- Puppy foundations
- Leash Walking
- Recall
- Confidence Building
- Impulse Control
- Emotional Regulation
- Cooperative Care
- Calm Behavior
- Reactivity
- Fearful or Shut-down Behavior
- Demand Barking
- Greetings and Social Skills
- Settling and learning to be bored
- Everyday manners and life skills
Not sure exactly what your dog needs?
That's okay! Part of the consultation is figuring out what's driving the behavior and where it makes the most sense to start,
How Training Works
Start With A Consultation
We'll talk about your dog, what you're experiencing, what you'd like help with, and what everyday life looks like for your family
Build A Training Plan
Using what we learn during the consultation, I'll create a personalized plan based on your dog's needs, your goals, and where it makes the most sense to start.
Learn Together
During one-on-one sessions, I'll work with you and your dog while explaining what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what your dog is communicating along the way.
Adjust As We Go
Dogs aren't robots, and training isn't always a straight line. We'll adjust the plan as your dog learns, progresses, and shows us what they need next.
Pricing
Initial Consultation - $45
Every client starts with a consultation. This gives me a chance to meet you and your dog, learn more about what's going on, talk about your goals, and determine where it makes the most sense to begin.
One-on-One Training Session
$45
After the consultation, training sessions are scheduled based on your individual plan. There is no required preset course or one-size-fits-all number of sessions. We'll continue working together as long as you and your dog need support.
Frequently Asked Questions
You don't have to! That's part of what the initial consultation is for. We'll talk about what you're experiencing, your goals, and your dog's behavior, and I'll help determine where it makes the most sense to start.
There isn't a set number. Every dog and family is different, so the length of training depends on your goals, your dog's needs, and how things progress. We'll adjust the plan as we go.
Yes! I worked for a whole year with mainly puppies. Starting early can help puppies build confidence, communication, emotional regulation, and everyday life skills. Puppies should be current on age-appropriate vaccinations as recommended by their veterinarian.
Yes. Training is adjusted to your dog's comfort level and focuses on understanding what is driving the behavior, building skills, and helping your dog feel more successful in situations they find difficult.
No. Recently adopted dogs often need time to settle in, but that doesn't mean you have to wait to ask for help. Early sessions may focus more on building safety, establishing routines, understanding your dog's communication, and helping them adjust to their new home.
Two Paws Down uses positive, humane training methods. Training focuses on teaching skills, reinforcing behaviors we want to see more of, and understanding why a behavior is happening rather than relying on fear, pain, or intimidation.
Yes! Much of my educational and professional experience has been working with rescue dogs, and I believe it's important to make support as accessible as possible for them and their families. A rescue discount is available upon request.
