I have been training professionally since 2011. I am an Animal Behavior College graduate. I externshipped at Animal Rescue League of Iowa, and a kennel club in Ames, Iowa.
My training focuses on positive methods, turning learning into fun, game-like, sessions that are enjoyable for both dogs and humans.
Problems? Have a puppy who chews, bites, barks, digs, etc? A dog with no manners? Just want your dog to learn some basics? I offer quite a few services, for the full list click the “Services” tab.
My three main ones are: Board and Train, In Home Training, and Training Day Camp. Below is listed what each one is, and cost.
Board and Train
Board and Train covers basic obedience, manners, and can even be customized specifically for what you and your dog need to have worked on. Our boarding and training takes place in our family home, all open kennel, with the company and opportunity to socialize with the dogs that live here, and other boarders. All while being closely supervised by me at all times.
Each day your dog will have four 15-30 minute training sessions. They get walked every 3-4 hours as well as having 1-3 hours of outdoor time on the aerial dog trolley where they can explore the entire 110ft length. They also get plenty of indoor stimulation, playing fetch or just enjoying their social time with the other dogs and cats.
Boarding and Training costs $55/day. I do offer some discounts (If you donate dog related items you can qualify for the discount, talk to me about it). There are no discounts for multiple dogs, as they aren’t sharing crate space, they are open kenneled here.
In Home (obedience and problem solving)
In Home can be done 1 session at a time, or in a 6 week course (I visit once a week for 6 weeks, owner does “homework” training in between sessions). In Home focuses on what you want worked on, as well as basic obedience and manners. The big difference between board and train and in home is the owner involvement. In Home requires the owner be hands on and learn the training methods, as well as do homework, otherwise the training will either not progress at all, or it will be extremely slow.
In Home Single Sessions: $50+.30/mile for a single session. With mileage, Des Moines area is around $68 for a single session one on one with your dog. (There is no discount on single sessions)
In Home 6 Week Course: $250+(.30/mile x 6wks). With mileage, Des Moines area runs about $358 for 6 weekly sessions one on one with you and your dog. (Discount comes to a savings of $50 for bundling sessions into course)
Training Day Camp
Training Day Camp is very similar to Board and Train, only you take your dog home each night. Focuses on basic obedience, manners, and can be customized for you and your dog’s individual needs. Our training day camp takes place in our family home, all open kennel, with the company and opportunity to socialize with the dogs that live here, and other boarders. All while being closely supervised by me at all times.
Each day you bring your dog in the morning and pick them up in the evening. We train in 15-30 minute sessions, 4x per day. They get to go out on walks ever 3-4 hours (unless young puppy, then it’s more often), and socialize with other dogs and cats as well as play with humans between the fun training sessions.
Training Day Camp costs $45/day for open kennel option.
Training Day Camp IN KENNEL is $40/day, but it’s a lot less fun for the dogs. They don’t get the socializing with other dogs/cats, but they still get to go for walks, and get human play time.
