Personal Dog training
40
During in-person training sessions, Billie and I will come to your home to work with you and your dog for up to two (2) hours. Alternatively, we can work together at a local park, or similar location, once you have properly bonded with your dog. Please note that for proper and lasting training the primary dog owner(s) must be present. Before you schedule your first session, please contact me for a New Client Intake. This will be a simple set of questions to help us get to know each other, individualizing our training sessions to reach our goals. We can do this via email, or over Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, or Skype. Also, please note that our first training session may take a little longer than expected as we all get to know each other.
Please make sure that your dog is healthy and up to date on all vaccines prior to meeting with us. If you, your dog, and/or your family will have any specific needs, please let me know beforehand so that we can make the appropriate adjustments. If you will need to make a cancellation, please let me know 24 hours before our scheduled appointment to avoid being charged.
Also, please be aware that during the COVID-19 pandemic I am asking everyone involved to please practice proper social distancing, face coverings, and appropriate sanitization. And please get yourself vaccinated if you are able to. Thank you.
Please feel free to check out my website for more information (https://www.caninegoverness.com/). You can also ask me any questions you have via email, Twitter (@Dogs_BestFriend #SpeakToMe), or my Facebook page (@CanineGoverness). I also use the questions posted on my social media to create my blog posts (https://caninegoverness.tumblr.com/). If you would prefer your questions/comments not be posted, please let me know. Thank you.
Training & Qualifications
My personal service dog and I were trained by the highly experienced dog trainer, Glenn Martyn (martyncaninebehavior.com). I have been a dog trainer for about 4 years. And I have been a dog walker in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood for more than 10 years (caninegoverness.com). I have loved animals my whole life and I would love to pass on the knowledge and skills that I have picked up along the way.
Availability & Preferences
I'm usually free on weekdays. But let me know what time works for you and I'll check my calendar.
