Most trainers will not put a number on their website. I will.
You should be able to tell before you pick up the phone whether this is in range. Below is where each program starts. Where you land depends on your dog, and that is what the evaluation is for.
Every program $3,000 and over includes a remote collar — fitted, conditioned at your dog’s pace, and yours to keep.
Your dog lives and trains with me. Spots are limited each month and they fill.
Jump Start · 2 weeks
A reset, not a finished dog. Crate, house rules and leash manners started. Credits in full toward a longer program within 90 days.
Foundation · 4 weeks
A dog you can live with. Recall, loose-leash walking, settling, door manners, off the counter. Transfer sessions until you are confident. Remote collar included.
Complete · 6 weeks
Everything in Foundation plus a much wider set of commands, held longer and proofed around real distractions. Remote collar included.
Behavior & Aggression
Reactivity, fear, anxiety, resource guarding, aggression. Four weeks minimum, six for most cases. Evaluation required before booking. Remote collar included.
I come to you and teach you and your dog together. Every class runs about 90 minutes. I travel within 15 miles of Katy. Further out, board and train or virtual coaching is the better fit.
Foundation In-Home
Focused on one thing and done properly. Either obedience and commands, or the behavior issue that is driving you mad. We decide which at your evaluation. Long line included.
Complete In-Home
A much wider set of commands, plus room to work on behavior alongside them. Pick this one if you want both a dog that listens and a problem solved. Long line included.
Behavior In-Home
Reactivity, fear, anxiety and resource guarding, worked in the environment where they actually happen. Evaluation required.
Its own program, and it comes after the foundational skills are in place.
Off-Leash · In-Home
Six classes at your home and in the real places you want to use it. Your dog needs the foundations solid before we start.
Off-Leash · Board & Train
Two weeks with me, for dogs that already have their foundations in place. Faster, and proofed in more environments than we can reach in weekly classes. Remote collar included.
For puppies 10 to 25 weeks. Two formats. Your puppy comes to stay with me, or I come to you.
Puppy Head Start · Board & Train
Two weeks living with me. Potty training, crate training, bite inhibition, socialisation and first commands during the window that matters most.
Puppy Head Start · In-Home
I come to your house and we build the foundations together, so your puppy learns the rules in the home they actually live in and you learn to handle them from day one. Classes run 90 minutes.
Puppy Head Start Extended · 4 weeks board & train
Everything above plus real obedience foundations and confidence work, over four weeks with me. Remote collar included.
Anywhere, or in Katy alongside other dogs.
Single Virtual Session
60 minutes live, plus a written plan afterward. Credited toward any program if you go ahead.
Virtual Coaching Program
Six live sessions with video feedback between. No geography limit.
Group Classes
Real-world distractions, working toward AKC certifications. For dogs without major behavior issues. No evaluation needed.
Longer programs — eight-week board and train, and intensive behavior work for bite cases — are available and quoted at your evaluation.
1. Start with the contact form. Fill out the contact form first so I have your dog’s details before we speak. Then I call you — free, no pressure, no commitment — to talk through what is going on and what you want to change.
2. Evaluation — $85. Ninety minutes with you and your dog in person, so I can see what is really happening. Credited toward whichever program you choose.
3. Your plan and your price. From that evaluation I build a plan for your dog specifically — and that is when you get a real number, not a guess.
Group Classes are the exception. They still start with the contact form and the call, but no evaluation is needed, so you can enroll straight from the call. They are for dogs without major behavior issues — if reactivity or aggression are part of your picture, I will tell you that on the phone.
Most programs are half up front and half at completion. I also accept Afterpay, Klarna, PayPal Pay Later and All Pet Card financing if you would rather spread the cost. Ask at your consultation and we will find something that works.
The first call is free and takes about fifteen minutes.
Every one of our dog training prices in Katy, TX is published above. Most trainers in this area will not give you a number until you are on the phone with them. We would rather you knew before you called.
The figures shown are starting points. After the $85 evaluation we quote a price for your dog specifically, because a reactive four-year-old and a fourteen-week-old puppy are not the same job. The evaluation fee comes off whatever you book.
Payment plans are available through Afterpay, Klarna, PayPal Pay Later and All Pet Card. Board and train is held with a $500 reservation fee that comes off the total.
