Please contact us if you have any questions.
Initial consult & session
In your first session with Loyal Paws you will go through an initial consult and start your training plan. This is where the magic happens and you get to understand your dog, their behaviour and what training they will need to reach yours goals successfuly.
1 on 1 session (after consult)
Loyalty Discount. Every session after your initial consult will be focused on teaching you the training skills outlined in the training plan we made in the first session, as well as teaching your dog the new behaviours and cues, working through the challenges and keeping you on a path to success. One Session will go over anywhere from 1-3 behaviours depending on the complexity.
Brush-up Sessions
These 30minute sessions are for clients who have gone through an initial consult and a 1 on 1 session and wish to have a brush up of their skills and their dogs training. In a Brush-up session nothing new will be gone over, but prior skills can be fine tuned and assessed for further training.

Private Training Programs
Private Training Programs are pre-designed programs that we can tailor to your dogs training needs. Each program has a training goal, and the first step to choosing a training program is to contact the trainer for an online consult. We do it online to help with pandemic worries as well as to keep costs lower. If you prefer an in-person consult, please ask. After a consult, you will be given a suggested training plan – this does not give you details, but it does give you a rough idea of how long training may take, the cost, which program you would benefit from the most and what to expect during training.
