Agreement
At this time we only do in-facility private lessons; lessons away from the dog’s home are often more effective. (If an in-home or field-trip lesson would be a good next step, we’ll talk with you about it when we meet.) An obedience and behavior private lesson is $140 for the first hour in our facility, plus $25 for each extra 15 minutes. There’s no sales tax on private lessons. Payment is due at the time of the lesson. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
The average private lesson lasts about an hour. Our staff reviews your answers and does any research beforehand. You’ll get homework, and we’re available for follow-up by email or phone. After we review your questionnaire, we’ll contact you to arrange the lesson and tell you who you’ll be meeting with. If possible, the whole family should come to the lesson; if not, let us know and we may be able to video it (you’re welcome to bring your own camera). Please be ready to take notes.
A private lesson is like a doctor’s prescription: your instructor will give you specific instructions to reach your goals, but it’s up to you and your family to follow through with the training, behavior modification, exercise and lifestyle changes.
