Benefits of Virtual Training:
-
We’re able to observe your dog in its natural environment
-
Every virtual training session is recorded and e-mailed to you, so that you can review the lesson as many times as you wish. Being able to access the lesson multiple times is a major advantage that will allow your dog to progress more quickly!
-
We tailor each session for you and your dog. We assign weekly homework, specifically customized for your dog’s needs.
-
We provide easy-to-follow instructions and guidance in the form of e-mails, videos, and downloadable PDF’s.
-
You have access to the Club DSS Methodology (fun, , effective, and always dog-friendly) wherever you live in the United States. All you need is the right equipment!
-
Virtual training lessons are affordable and easy on the budget.
-
Virtual training offers flexibility! We do our best to schedule sessions when they’re most convenient for you. Lessons may be scheduled once or twice per week, at a time that best suits your schedule.
The initial 60-minute behavior evaluation/assessment gives us the opportunity to learn more about you and your dog(s), and to fully understand your training objectives.
​
During the evaluation, we’ll gather input from you and your family, and take a complete behavior/health history, so that we can recommend the best, most appropriate training package for you and your dog(s).
​
We’ll also explain our virtual training program to you, make sure you have the necessary equipment/tools, and that you’re comfortable using these tools to engage in virtual training.
​
The evaluation fee is $79 for one dog; each additional dog that requires training is $25.
​
Behavior concerns, including, but not limited to: separation anxiety, aggression, fear, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and general reactivity (on or off leash), require a more comprehensive evaluation (two hours).
