​

Puppy Start-Right Class: We start with a short preliminary meeting to explain clicker training, what to bring to class, and to answer any questions. The program covers how to prepare our puppies for experiences, people, and situations they’ll encounter in the outside world. This program really focuses on setting our puppies up for success for things like going to the vet, visiting the groomer, working outside with bikes and skateboards, working inside to prevent food aggression and other resource guarding. Puppy also will learn some basic behaviors like sit, down, and settle on a mat throughout the course. Six weeks; one session per week. Each session is 45 minutes to an hour. $200 per dog.

​

Dog Foundation Skills Class: Need your dog to pay better attention? Foundational skills will enhance your relationship with him or her and make life easier for all. We start with a short preliminary meeting to explain clicker training, what to bring to class, and to answer any questions. The program covers how to teach our dogs a wide range of behaviors, including sit, down, stay, nose-to-hand target, recall, leave it, and more. Six weeks; one session per week. Each session is 45 minutes to an hour each. $200 per dog.

IN-PERSON PACKAGES

CONTACT BARKTASTIC TODAY!
Premier Puppy Package offers consultation with owner(s) prior to bringing the puppy home.  We work the owner through such concerns as crate training, puppy confinement area, house training, chewing, jumping, house and dog schedules, and dog enrichment ideas. One-on-one training and support is provided throughout the entire six-week Puppy Start Right program. Perfect for first-time dog owners or if it’s been a while since having a puppy in your house. $450 per dog.

​

Coaching: With traditional coaching, we’ll teach you in-person how to train your dog, and you’ll be actively involved in the process. Together, we’ll schedule one to two  sessions per week, with homework in between sessions. Choose three-session or six-session package. $225-$450 per dog.

 

Day Training:  Once a week for at least two weeks, we come to your home and train your dog in a process that’s mostly “hands off” for you. (You can be present, but you don’t have to be.) One of the sessions will also include a 15-minute "transfer" session in which we'll transfer to you what we've taught your dog that week.  Six-session package plus consultation. $450 per dog. 

         

VIRTUAL SESSIONS

If you’re not close by, or if you just want ease of use, virtual sessions via Zoom may be perfect for you and your dog.
