Virtual Dog Training
Need help now even though you’re outside of my service area? Stuck at home with an unruly dog, interrupting your business calls, homeschooling, or work? Are walks more stressful than relaxing? Do you feel frustrated, annoyed, or guilty? I can help!
My expertise gained through years of experience and schooling are still available to you! A virtual consultation and coaching with an expert trainer may be all you need to solve your dog’s behavior problems. Through the Virtual Training Packages we can craft a training plan tailored to your dog based on your history and skills. With a combination of my video library, videos you send me, and live virtual “meetings”, we will address your dog’s behavior issues!
Topics that work well for the Virtual Training Package include:
Every day good manners: settling quietly, even during meal times and conference calls; ignoring food left out; waiting at the door, and more!
Basic commands: sit, down, stay, leave it, attention, come, walking on a loose leash, and more!
Common behavior problems: housetraining, destructive behavior, jumping on guests, dashing through the door, stealing items, “counter surfing”, running away, chasing cats or squirrels, nipping the kids, excessive barking and more!
Teaching cooperative care for grooming or medical care
Pre- and post-adoption counseling
Training for the dog you can take anywhere!
In some cases, Virtual Training Packages can be used for more serious behavior issues like aggression to people in your home, resource guarding (possession aggression), handling issues, and on-leash aggression to other dogs or people – contact me to find out more.
For virtual sessions, all you need is a way to connect to the internet with a camera, microphone and speaker – such as a computer with a webcam, a smartphone or a tablet. We will use the Zoom app and I’ll send you all the instructions you need for a successful session. Hey you can even do them in your pajamas!
For in-person training, I serve central Silicon Valley/Santa Clara County: San Jose, Campbell, Willow Glen, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, Los Altos, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, Cupertino, Mountain View, Milpitas. Not in my local coverage area, or just seeking greater convenience? Virtual Training is available!

Training packages include the initial consultation, and two weekly 30-minute video appointments, email/text support, and the opportunity for me to review up to 30 minutes of video you send me.
Four-week packages work well for basic training, and six-week packages are great for starting to fix aggression, other serious issues, and multiple issues.
Virtual lessons are $145/hr and are started as an initial discount package of four one-hour private lessons (for basic training – $580) or six one-hour private lessons (for aggression, other serious issues, and multiple issues – $870).
