Initial Virtual Consultation
Price: Included in starter pack options on homepage
Prior to the initial consult, I will send you a behavior intake that will go over your dog’s history, your environment, behaviors you want to address, and overall training goals.
On the consult (75-90 min), we’ll dive deep into your dog’s behavior, routine, environment and your goals. I will gather as much data as I can to put together a personalized training plan. You will likely receive simple homework during the call to work on before the first training session. This can be as simple as find your dog’s favorite treats!
After the consult, you’ll receive a spreadsheet with resources, product recommendations, and training plans. The training plans will include what will happen in our first session and plans for the future.

In-Person Training Session
Price: $150 per session, or $400 for 3 sessions*
In-person training sessions take place in Astoria and LIC. I have some availability each month for surrounding areas such as Sunnyside, Woodside, and Roosevelt Island. Please reach out to see if I am available!
These sessions will be where I coach you through our training plans. I will help you feel confident about all the protocols we’re working on and tweak things where necessary.
With a package, I am available with email and text support in-between sessions. This can look like sending me a video of a protocol that isn't quite working, and I can help you tweak what may need to change. If we sense a big change or a whole protocol change, that is where would meet for another session.
* Packages expire in 2 months from first session

Price: $90 per 30-min session, or $240 for 3 30-min sessions*Similar, to in-person sessions, I will coach you through protocols and training. Where applicable, I will request you have an area where I can see you and your dog to work through training and timing in real time.

For dog’s where my presence may be too much to train effectively, I recommend training sessions be virtual. This can be discussed either on the consult or during an in-person training session.

Meet and Greet
Price: Free!
A meet and greet (M&G) is required for any non-training service. When you book a M&G, I will send you a behavior intake form which will go over your dog’s typical walking habits, gear they wear, and any additional behaviors to note.
I will also ask about how your dog is with meeting new people. If your dog struggles with meeting new people, that is okay! We will always go at your dog’s pace.
I will reach out prior to the M&G with any additional questions I may have.
The actual M&G is 30 minutes where we spend half of the time discussing your dog, going over behavior & gear, and the other half will be walking outside.
Please note: after the M&G, we will decide together next steps. For some dogs that is having me do a first walk with you present, some dogs require gear to be on before I get there for a few visits, and other circumstances we can discuss.

30-min Solo Walk
Price: $35 per walk, $34 per walk for 3+ walks M-Su, $33 per walk for 5+ walks M-Su
These are not your typical dog walk! Walks with me are focused on exactly what your dog needs, day-to-day. These walks are full of sniffs and are at your own dog’s pace.
When I’m with your dog, they will have my full attention. We avoid all other dogs/people and if they have certain triggers (I.e; other dogs, motorcycles, loud sounds, etc), I will manage that to the best of our ability with giving them space and treats where needed.
You can be assured that I will not pull your dog or put them in uncomfortable situations.
Each walk includes a report afterwards with pictures and behavior analysis from that day.
If you’re interested in walk training, please see the section: Day Training.

Does your dog need longer walks or just more time to spend with a person while you’re out? 60 minute walks may be right for you!
Please see the 30-min Solo Walk section for all information about my walks.

Drop-In
Price: $80 for 2 hours, $15 for each additional 30 minutes of drop-in. Overnights excluded.
Each drop-in includes one 30-minute walk. Upgrade to one 60-minute walk for $20.
A drop-in is ideal for dog’s with separation anxiety or puppies still in the learning phase of being able to be left alone. I will be with your dog for 100% of the time of the drop-in.
Besides for a walk, I will play with your dog, give them enrichment, or just cuddle with them on the couch. I am there to help them feel comfortable while you’re not home! My goal is for you to feel at ease while you're away from your pup. You’ll receive plenty of pictures, videos, and updates!

Cat Drop-In
Price: $25 for 30 minutes, $45 for 60 minutes
Each cat drop-in includes a feeding, water refill, and litter cleaning! If there is anything else needed, I’m happy to provide additional cat services as well.
As a fear-free certified professional, I will always go at your cat’s pace. I let cats come to me and perform consent checks while petting them. (They get to tell me if I should continue or not!) If they want play time or pets while I’m there, that is exactly what we’ll do. If they need some more time to warm up, I will be there while letting them have their space.
Fun fact: I’ve trained cats! Interested in learning trick training for your cat? Let me know!
