Most trainers make you sit through a sales call to hear a number. Here is everything, out in the open: what each program costs, what it includes, and who it's actually for. Every program is customized to your dog after we talk.
Every relationship starts with a free 20-minute phone call. From there, every new client books an Initial Consultation: the session where I meet your dog, learn the full history, and confirm which program actually fits before anyone commits to a program.
Every new client starts here, whether you have a brand new puppy or a dog with a bite history. After your free call, we book a consultation of about 90 minutes before any training program begins. It is held online, which usually means we can get you scheduled sooner, and it lets me watch your dog in the place the behavior actually happens rather than on their best behavior for a visitor. I take a full history and we go through your behavior questionnaire or obedience intake together so I understand exactly what is going on. You leave knowing which program fits your dog and why, plus a safety plan if one is needed, whether or not we work together further.
This is how I make sure you land in the right program instead of guessing. No payment is collected when you book. I send an invoice by text and email right after, and your consult is finalized once it is paid. All payments are non-refundable.
Half of it ($125) credits toward any program you continue into. An in-home consult is available at $400, with $175 credited.
Book Your ConsultEvery program is private, in your home, and built around your actual dog. No group classes, no one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Best fit: one or two specific issues, like jumping, door manners, or leash basics.
Not for fear, aggression, or reactivity. Those belong in Behavioral Rehabilitation.

Start With ThisBest fit: reactive, fearful, anxious, or aggressive dogs. This is the specialty.
Bite histories and muzzle-trained dogs are welcome here. Total investment including the consult: $2,375.
Book the ConsultHow the consult credit works: every client begins with the $250 Initial Consultation, and $125 of it credits toward whichever program you continue into, which brings a Behavioral Rehabilitation total to $2,375. Prices are per program, not per hour, and include everything listed. No hidden fees. If your dog ever needs something beyond the plan, like veterinary support or added sessions, you'll know why and what it costs before you decide anything.
Yes. Every training program is in-home and in your real neighborhood, across Fort Worth, Keller, Southlake, Arlington, Mansfield, and the greater DFW metro. Dogs don't struggle in training facilities. They struggle at your front door, on your street, at your park. That's where we train. The Initial Consultation itself is held online, which usually means we can get you booked sooner.
It depends on your dog, your goals, and how much practice happens between sessions. That's exactly what the free 20-minute call is for: I'll give you my honest recommendation, including the smaller program when the smaller program is enough.
No. I will never use fear or pain as training tools. My methods come from behavior science: reinforcement, clear communication, and changing how your dog feels about the things that set them off. It's the same approach behind my Fear Free certification and my training under Will Bangura, MS, CAB-ICB.
About 90 minutes, held online. I take a complete history, watch your dog where the behavior actually happens, set up immediate management and safety steps if needed, and walk you through what I'm seeing and what a realistic path forward looks like. You keep the plan either way, and $125 credits toward whichever program you continue into.
Because putting a dog in the wrong program helps nobody, and promising an outcome before assessing the dog would be a red flag rather than a service. That holds for a brand new puppy as much as an aggressive dog: history, environment, household routine, and sometimes medical factors all change what the right plan is. The consult is how you get a real answer instead of a sales pitch.
No, and be cautious with anyone who does. Real behavior change is a process that depends on your dog, consistency, and time. What I promise: an honest read, a plan grounded in behavior science, no fear or pain as tools, and my full attention until you can handle what used to feel impossible.
Twenty minutes, no pressure, no obligation. Tell me what's going on with your dog and I'll tell you honestly which program fits, or whether you need one at all.
