Get Started

Single Session $150

Thinking about training but not ready to commit to a full package? Our single training consultation is the perfect way to get started.


This one-on-one session with a professional trainer allows us to dive into your biggest challenges, whether it's leash pulling, barking, or just basic manners. We'll assess your dog's behavior, discuss your goals, and give you a few key strategies you can start using right away.

This consultation is a low-pressure way to experience our training style and see how we can help you and your dog. Think of it as a taster session—you'll leave with actionable advice and a clearer path forward, and if you love what you see, you can always apply the cost of the consult toward a full training package later.

Training Packages

When it comes to making a lasting change, a single session, no matter how insightful, simply isn't enough. Think of a single session like a one-time workout. You might feel great right after, but you won't see long-term results without consistency.

That's why our multi-session approach is designed to support you beyond that initial moment of motivation. We break down the process of change into manageable steps, allowing you to build new habits and skills over time. Instead of a single, intensive meeting, our sessions provide a structured framework for reinforcement, practice, and personalized feedback.


  • Build on Progress: Each session builds on the last. We use a step-by-step process that allows us to revisit what's working, troubleshoot challenges, and fine-tune your approach in real-time.
  • Create New Habits: Lasting change isn't just about understanding a concept; it's about embedding new behaviors. Our multi-session format provides the necessary repetition and accountability to turn new actions into lasting habits.
  • Sustainable Results: Sustainable change is about learning to navigate setbacks and celebrate small victories. With a multi-session plan, you'll have the dedicated support needed to create changes that stick.


Ready to invest in change that lasts? Our multi-session approach provides the guidance, structure, and support you need to make meaningful progress.


All packages start with a virtual consult to discuss your training goals and create a customized training plan.

Why Choose Us?

We Use Modern, Proven Methods

We believe that training should be a positive experience for both you and your dog. That's why we use force-free, science-based methods that focus on positive reinforcement. This approach builds a strong bond and teaches your dog to make good choices because they want to, not because they're afraid of being punished. Our training is not only effective but also fun for your dog.


We Focus on You

Training a dog isn't just about the dog—it's about teaching you, the owner, how to communicate effectively. We don't just train your dog for you; we empower you to become an expert handler. Our sessions are designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to manage any situation, whether it's at home or out in the world.


We Have a Deep Understanding of Dog Behavior

Dog behavior can be complex and confusing. We have extensive experience and knowledge in understanding why dogs do what they do. This allows us to create personalized training plans that address the root cause of the behavior, not just the symptoms. Whether you're dealing with a new puppy or a dog with serious behavioral issues, we're here to help.

Ready to see the difference our training can make? We're excited to work with you and your dog.

PAYMENTS & REFUNDS

Full payment within 24 hours after dates are scheduled is required to confirm your appointments.

Private Lessons are non-refundable and non-transferrable. We do not offer refunds on unscheduled lessons. All sales and payments are final.


One Smart Dog, LLC reserves the right to terminate the training contract at any time before or during its term if Trainer determines that a danger exists to the health and safety of the public, Trainer, owner or dog. Should the Trainer or Owner terminate the training contract at any time prior to completion, all fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

GUARANTEE

Our services are not guaranteed. Dog behavior is not static and can change over time due to developmental periods, aging, and health. Pet owners influence their dog’s behavior and must do the assigned training homework for optimal results.


TRAINING SUPPLIES

Clients are responsible for providing the necessary materials needed for training. Including, but not limited to: treats, toys, leash, collar, harness, etc.


TRAINING METHODS

One Smart Dog uses reward-based methods that are backed by science to modify your dog's behavior.  Because a reward makes your dog more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog’s behavior.  The use of pain, fear, or intimidation may lead to fear or aggression.


PRIVATE TRAINING NO-SHOW

All no-show sessions will be forfeited automatically. There is $25 no-show fee that must be paid after a missed appointment within 24 hours in order to continue training.
