An "In Home Evaluation" is the preferred way to start a training program or begin to solve problem behaviors.  This first meeting is part observation and part getting to know each other (and your dog). 
The first evaluation visit can be lengthy (2.0-2.5 hours), because I like to get know the dog's entire living situation, history, and the entire family. 

The first hour I ask a lot of questions and take notes on my observation of the dog, handler and dog's environment and the interaction of the three.   I will give my honest evaluation at the conclusion and a plan or program to move forward.
Most likely we will move right into changing the home environment, some habits and adding specific discipline and relationship strengthening exercises for you and your dog.  I find this takes at least another hour to demonstrate and work with handler to feel comfortable with all techniques of the proposed program.

The initial in home Evaluation Visit:  $ 115.00 for 2-2.5 hours
 
The cost of a multiple dog home: $130.00.

Private session in the home are a great way to follow up on after an evaluation visit, attending one my classes or other trainers classes.  The one on one attention to dog and handler in the dog’s environment make this a very effective choice for certain behavior issues.

The in home Private Session rate is $85.00 per hour.
