Private Lessons

Each private lesson includes discussion about how things are going, troubleshooting challenges, and continuing progress towards your goals. I will typically start the exercises with your pet before passing them off to you to practice while I am there to coach you through it.

Unlimited support via email/text offered to every client in between lessons.
