A Single Session has no set curriculum. You bring one or two priorities and we work on them. You can start with one or two Single Sessions and convert to The Six Essentials six-pack for savings. The Six Essentials is a six-session program covering clear communication, rules and boundaries, calmness and self-control, enforcing rules, come when called, and leash skills.

People who have questions but don't want a training program yet: why your dog does something, choosing the right dog, a second opinion, housetraining info, a tune-up for past clients, or if you're outside the service area. It isn't hands-on and isn't best for teaching obedience.
