IN-PERSON TRAINING
IN-PERSON TRAINING WITH MAGGIE HUNTER
Maggie offers in-person lessons at her training facility in Fleetwood (13302, Unit 4, Hwy 221). She offers a variety of training programs. There is no “one size fits all” program for every dog or puppy. That makes sense, doesn’t it? All puppies are different and owners’ goals for their dogs vary. There are no contracts. You can pay-as-you-go, or purchase a package of sessions to receive discounted pricing. All training packages include the “Getting Started” session, plus additional follow-up sessions of about an hour each. All multi-session training packages include access to the client area of our website. There you will find over 50 instructional videos for reviewing your training exercises and even working ahead. We have sections on impulse control, leash walking, puppies, Come! and more.
Dogs and Puppies
GETTING STARTED – 2 Hr. Session
Professional Fees: $200
During this dynamic discussion, our trainer will separate fact from fiction, science vs. folk lure. We’ll talk about how animals learn and how to humanely teach them what we’d like them to learn. We’ll also discuss canine body language – how to tell if your dog is “relaxed and happy” or worried and stressed. And, we’ll teach your dog the foundation skills for impulse control, come when called and how to “say please:” by sitting.
