Methods & Resources
You and your dog deserve a professional to help you ethically guide behavior change and who supports you every step of the way.
The field of dog training is unregulated - and that is a scary thing. Who you choose to help with your dog’s behaviors can make or break whether those behaviors get worse or get better.
Our Lead Trainer Casey has been working with dogs for over 7 years and in addition to training basic manners, has specialized training in topics such as cooperative care, predatory behaviors, functional assessments, and more!
Training Methods We Use
Fear free, force free, and positive reinforcement based.
Overwhelming scientific evidence confirms that using minimally invasive, positive reinforcement based methods are not only the most effective, but when implemented correctly, they come with no fall-out.
We use food, toys, and any other rewards your dog enjoys to effectively change associations, change their behavior, and maintain a strong bond with your dog. We also believe in a community effort, getting your family, dog’s veterinarian, dog’s groomer, and anyone else on board with the training plan is essential. No quick fixes exist!

Financial Assisstance
You deserve a community that honors your price as an equal economic offering as the person who can pay the highest tier.
Please be mindful that if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher ticket prices, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility. Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices grows strong and sustainable communities. Additionally, when I am paid fairly, I am able to invest more time and resources to free and lower cost offerings.
Mention these sliding scale options when booking a Discovery Call and let us know the details of your case, as well as what service/class you intend to use your sliding scale option on and which option you are applying for (Option B or C) that fits your situation.
-
Full price (pay 100%)
The highest dollar cost reflects the true cost of the service. It is the cost that the practitioner would charge all students in the absence of a sliding scale.
This price is for you if you:
Have access to financial security
Own property
Have personal savings
Would not traditionally qualify for sliding scale services.
Are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worried about securing necessities in your life.
-
20% price reduction (pay 80%)
The middle cost reflects the practitioner's acknowledgement that paying the full cost would prevent some folks from being able to attend, but who do not honestly find themselves reflected in either descriptions for the highest cost or the lowest.
This price is for you if you:
Are struggling to conquer debt or build savings or move away from paycheck to paycheck living AND
Have access to steady income AND
Are not spending most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc.
However, if you can ask others, such as family members, partners, or friends, for financial support, please consider using those personal resources before you use the resources of the sliding scale and limit opportunities for others.
-
50% price reduction (pay 50%)
The bottom cost represents an honest acknowledgment by the practitioner that there are folks whose economic circumstances would prevent them from being a part of classes if there was not a deliberate opportunity made for them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities.
This price is for you if you:
If you struggle to maintain access to needs such as health care, housing, food, child care AND/OR
Are living paycheck to paycheck AND/OR
Are in significant debt
