Evaluations usually last 1 to 1.5 hours, though Katie asks that you set aside two so there is no rush. These are very important as they give you and your pup(s) a chance to meet Katie and discuss all of your goals for your dog. Katie will then go over what it will take to reach your goals and give you an idea of how many sessions it may take to get there.
Virtual training offers a convenient and effective solution for many dogs and their owners. Each session lasts one hour, providing the same dedicated time and attention as in-person training. Katie utilizes virtual training for various reasons—some clients live too far away, others prefer not to have visitors in their home, and some dogs may be uncomfortable or reactive around new people. Whatever your situation, Katie is happy to accommodate your needs.
Want to accelerate your pup's training? Katie will work one-on-one with your dog, reinforcing the cues and behaviors covered in your private sessions. To keep you involved in the process, she records each session, allowing you to watch and review the training anytime.
Why 30 minutes? 30 minutes is the ideal length for an intense training session, long enough for effective learning but short enough to prevent mental fatigue. By the end of the session, most pups are ready for a well-earned nap!
