Step 1: VIRTUAL CONSULTATION
All training starts with a 45 minute video consult. During this chat, we’ll discuss the general issues you're having with your dog and your training goals, my approach to training, the importance of dog psychology, the tools I use, training plan options, and initial recommendations.
Consultations are $65.
Step 2: DETERMINE Training Plan
After the consult is complete, I’ll let you know which training plan I recommend for your situation and will send you info on how to move forward. Scroll down to see the training plan options:
Step 3: Book Day Train
Board & Train Retreat: If you’re interested in the Board & Train Retreat (and I haven’t worked with your dog previously), we’ll schedule a Day Train where I take your dog for the day to assess them and make sure they are a good fit for the program.
All Other Training Plans: Day Trains are not required, but are available to you if you’re interested.
Day Trains give me additional insight as to what level of training your dog needs, their level of comfort in my home and in the crate (all dogs must be comfortable in the crate before they can do a Board & Train), what skills to prioritize, etc. I’ll take videos throughout the day to show you what we do, how I address various situations, then we’ll spend time at the end of the day to go over everything in person.
Day Trains are $495.
CORE TRAINING PLANS
-
The Retreat is for owners who don’t have the time or skillset to progress with training on their own, but understand that they still need to be intimately involved in the process. Though Angie does the initial heavy lifting in terms of teaching behaviors, Owners still need to make significant lifestyles changes and learn how to manage and prevent behavior in order for their dog to succeed long term.
How it works:
For 3 weeks, your dog will stay in the comfort of Angie’s home and will experience a structured daily schedule where they will learn and practice a variety of foundational and practical skills that can be carried forward into your everyday life. All B&Ts include e-collar training and areas of focus are customized to your dog’s needs.
Owners receive video updates and detailed instruction throughout the B&T that walk you through all of the different things that we work on so that you can carry the training and structure forward once your dog is back home.
Investment: $4,500
The Fine Print:
Board & Trains are 3 weeks long unless otherwise discussed with Angie.
Includes a midway session, a go-home session, and 3 post-retreat follow up sessions.
All B&Ts include e-collar training and pricing includes the cost of the e-collar unit and accessories.
Dogs must be at least 8 months old, potty trained, and quiet and comfortable in the crate (both at night and during the day). If you need help with crate training, we can work on this prior to the B&T.
Availability is extremely limited. B&Ts are only available after an initial consultation and a Day Train.
This program is not for dogs with human aggression or severe separation anxiety.
B&Ts are not going to “fix” your dog and are not a replacement for the owner putting in the work. They are meant to enhance your ongoing training and set both of you up for success as you continue your training journey post B&T.

SUPPLEMENTAL TRAINING PLANS
-
Available ONLY after a previous training package has been completed (unless Angie indicates otherwise).
This package is for those who have already learned foundations with their dog and want to incorporate the e-collar into their training.
Over a 6 week period, we will cover how to condition your dog to the e-collar, show you now to properly and responsibly incorporate the e-collar into your training and use it for various scenarios.
This package costs $1,175 and includes:
An E-Collar Technologies e-collar (Mini or Micro Educator models) and accessories (including a biothane bungee quick release collar and belt clip, a $275 value).
One Day Train where Angie introduces the e-collar to your dog and begins the conditioning process. Angie will take videos throughout the day and show you how she does everything ($495 value).
Three subsequent one hour in-person training sessions focused on e-collar ($540 value).
Access to the online client portal for 90 days.
Ability to ask Angie questions in between sessions.
The fine print:
Sessions must be held in or near Martinez, CA (additional fees will be charged for any travel over 15 miles from Martinez CA).
For best results, it's recommended to book sessions at weekly to bi-weekly intervals. Sessions must be used within the 6 week period.
Please note that this is a starting point for e-collar training and your dog may need more than these sessions in order to achieve your goals, particularly if they are reactive, have separation anxiety, or other significant behavior issues. If you would like to continue training after the initial package is completed, you can purchase additional sessions.
-
Available only after completing an initial training program, this package includes 3 one hour in-person sessions to help you continue progressing on any specific skills or behaviors that still need improvement.
All sessions must be booked and used within 60 days from purchase.
