Our training philosophy is based on good behavioral science and humane standards of care. We believe in developing good behavior through trust, your dog's motivators and clear interspecies communication.
Woofs to Wags offers rewards-based training for you and your dog. We are highly knowledgeable regarding puppy issues, including how to prepare your home, housebreaking, crate training and socialization. We are experienced with fearful, anxious and reactive dogs.
We also provide recommendations and support on behavioral issues that arise with other species (e.g. out-of-the-box elimination in felines).
Initial Consult
All training clients must first schedule an initial training consult, which is usually 1.5 hours. During the Initial Consult we perform an in-depth analysis of your dog's history and your key concerns to devise a training plan appropriate to your household and goals. Individual Consults may be performed in person or virtually. The Initial Consult is $150.
Individual Coaching
Once we have identified your priorities and your dog's most pressing needs, we will devise a series of visits appropriate to those needs and priorities, working in and near your home with you and your household. Individual coaching may be performed in person or virtually. Individual coaching sessions are $95 per hour.
Day Training
Don't have the time to work with your dog every day? Let us come in and do some of the heavy lifting for you. We require a consistent weekly schedule of 3 sessions for effective day training and at least two handoff sessions each month to show you how to maintain your dog's good behavior. In certain select cases, we are happy to provide day training in collaboration with another qualified, rewards-based trainer you have already hired. A written training plan is required for such collaboration. Day training sessions are $50 for 30 minutes.
