Private Training
Private one-on-one training sessions are available and are great for a variety of situations, including:
Sometimes you just can’t sign up for a class because life is too busy but still want the benefits of having help with training your best friend.
Perhaps your pooch is very shy and a group setting is just a little too overwhelming for him.
Your pet gets just too excited around other animals and people, and can’t concentrate to learn anything new.
There are so many training sites and information out there that it can be overwhelming. We can help. Our private sessions are set up either with one of our team members or Dr. Quinn, and we not only help change the behavior, but help you understand why it was occurring in the first place! No matter what you and your pet’s needs are we will work with you to help define the problem and create positive, life improving solutions. And if together we determine the problem might be more than what training can solve, we offer our veterinary behavior consultations to take a deeper dive to help you and your pet.
INVESTMENT: Single Session - $110
Packages: 3 Sessions $315, 5 Sessions $510, 10 Session $990
*Please note that some behavior problems are considered training problems while others are disorders and require a veterinary diagnosis. We at Pet Pals Country Club are unique in that we have the ability to manage and treat both levels of problems. We also understand when to recommend a referral to a Veterinary Behaviorist who is board certified to handle such cases.
BEHAVIOR CONSULTING
For issues such as separation anxiety, aggression of any kind, fears and anxieties, or phobias we offer Behavior Consults that treat these behavioral disorders. These appointments include a complete work-up and diagnosis with Dr. Colleen Quinn who can diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for your pet when needed.
