All you need is a computer, an online connection and a webcam, and you can meet with us to resolve your dog and cat training and behavior issues. Your online dog training session will be booked at a time convenient for you and you don’t even need to live in the same area as our consultants! In fact we can meet with you from anywhere in the world! We’ve been working virtually with clients for over six years and we’ve developed an expertise of easily being able to help you meet your goals for your dog.
What Can We Help You With?
We help you with behavior and training issues for dogs and cats too. Some possible topics that can be covered in a virtual session include:
- Training techniques and instruction on typical obedience behaviors
- Cooperative Vet Care to help your animal at the vet’s office or with needed daily at home medical treatments
- Pre- and post- adoption counseling
- Common dog behavior problems such as house training, barking, digging, chewing, pulling on leash, jumping on people and destructive behavior.
- Common cat behavior problems such as litterbox problems, cat and dog introductions, cat aggression, and shyness.
- Serious dog behavior issues such as separation anxiety and some forms of aggression:
- Dog aggression cases are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us to find out more! If we determine you need an in-home consultation we will help you seek out a competent professional in your area.
Trainer Coaching & Counseling
Virtual sessions are not limited to just dog and cat owners. If you’re a professional trainer struggling with a challenging case, we provide online coaching and counseling to help you and your client.
How Does Online Dog Training Work?
No fancy or expensive technology needed to do a virtual session. If you have a computer with a webcam or a smartphone or tablet and an internet connection, you’re set! We use free, easy-to-download video chat software, such as Zoom.us.
We’ll walk you through the entire process so don’t worry if you’re “technically challenged” – we make the process painless and enjoyable – we promise!
When you purchase a session, we’ll contact you via email to schedule a time and date that’s convenient for you and your family. We can even have more than one webcam on the session so household members can call in from other locations. We have worked with clients all over the U.S. and internationally.
After we discuss your case, depending on your goals and your pet’s needs, we’ll design a custom package for you and schedule future sessions.
What Does Online Dog Training it Cost?
Sessions are booked in 30 and 60 minute increments.
- $55 for 30 minutes
- $95 for 60 minutes
