*This targeted package consists of three weekly sessions designed to establish a smooth household routine. I will address your immediate management questions, help you establish predictable routines, and introduce very basic focus exercises at an easy, age-appropriate pace.

⚠️Important Success Factors:

I will be available via messenger to answer questions that may arise during your independent practice times, but you are responsible for committing to this learning process with your dog.

• Behavioral Needs: Severe reactivity, anxiety, or aggression may require additional specialized sessions beyond this foundational package.

• Individual Pace: All dogs, especially puppies and adolescent dogs, may progress at different rates based on their age and attention span.
