Private Lessons

I offer a variety of lessons, packages and class options to suit your needs best. For in person lessons, I will travel anywhere within Cranbrook to meet you in your home or a local public space depending on your specific needs. 

​

My prices are on a sliding scale so that I can be as accessible as possible. You'll notice a price range associated with each offering - choose the amount within that range, that you feel you can afford to pay at this time. When folks pay the higher end of that range, it makes it possible for others to pay the low end and while I can still earn a living wage.

Puppy Private Lesson

For puppies under 16 weeks old. This is a critical stage in development for dogs, where we can start off on the right foot to prevent issues in the future. Included is a one time, in person lesson in your home / yard. We spend a bit over 60 minutes together, teaching the puppy new behaviours for up to 40 minutes, and discussing life stages, puppy behaviour and problem solving for the remainder of our time.

$80 - $90

Puppy Private Package (2 lessons)

For puppies starting under 16 weeks old. In this critical stage of development we can start off on the right foot to prevent issues in the future. This package includes two in person lessons at your home / yard. Lessons are schedules two to three weeks apart. Both sessions run 60 - 70 minutes long, with a combination of question and answers, problem solving, and teaching puppy critical foundation behaviours for preventing issues down the road.

$150 - $180

Private Lesson

For any dog over 16 weeks that would like some help with any general manners, obedience or problem solving. This includes one, in person lesson in your yard or local public space. We will assess, discuss and train, followed by a summery and game plan going forward, and a brief follow-up email detailing the step by steps of behaviours learnt during our time together. A single lesson suits best for mild or simple behaviour changes, or for those who do well generally with self guided training, that just need to ensure they are on the right track, or help finding a solution. 

**I do not work with aggression that has led to serious bites in dogs over 5 months. 

$95 - $130

Follow Up Lessons

Most people find two to four lessons to be the most helpful, as it takes time to practice and train what we learn during the first lesson, and a second lesson allows us to take it to the next level and integrate new habits into our daily life.

Book a Follow Up Lesson on the same topic / issue as your previous lesson(s) within 6 weeks of your previous lesson for a discounted rate.

My Havanese puppy Letty and I learned so much from Ren’s puppy classes. Ren offered all of us in the class her knowledge and understanding of this important time in a dog’s life. Strategies , games, one-on-one support and FUN made our class time and at-home training time successful.
