Your pup’s progress depends on a few variables:

• What unwanted behavior(s) need addressing

• How long the dog has practiced said behavior(s)

• Your desired learning pace​

• How consistent the pet parent(s) are

You would be surprised how much you can achieve in 1 session regardless of where your pup is at in their behavior modification journey.

It is recommended to start where you're facing the most challenges, however, most of your time together is spent in the home. In order to set the proper foundation of respect and trust within the home, the majority of my pet parents decide to start with an In-Home lesson. Once the dog has achieved this balance, now they are ready for private training in high stimulus environments such as a Public Manners sessions or our group classes. Most pet parents do a combination of all three for deep transformations.

If your pup struggles in a high stimulus environment, pulls on the leash, shows signs of aggression in public, is reactive to cars, bikes, etc., doesn’t always listen, gets overly-excited outside, or gets anxious around loud noises— a one-on-one Public Manners Session is for you.

If your pup struggles with potty training, leash-up routines, possessive behaviors, separation anxiety, reactive/aggressive with guests/strangers around doorways, or is reactive/possessive around food or other resources— an In-Home Session will benefit you most.

​

If your dog does not struggle with aggression & just needs a bit of socialization and general obedience training— our Group Classes are a great opportunity for you to build your confidence as a handler and are a little easier on the pocket book as well.

Pricing varies based on class style & location. Ryan offers 3 class styles: Public Manners, In-Home Visits, and Group Classes. 

​

• Public Manners sessions range from $110-$200 depending on duration

​

• In-Home visits start at $250 (for locals) plus travel fees

​

• Group Classes are $300 for 4 1hr sessions, held weekly in San Juan Capistrano

Location depends on class style & your pet's specific challenges.

​​​

If there are no challenges you are facing inside the home specifically (in which case Ryan would come to you), or you just want to get your feet wet, our Public Manners sessions are generally held in San Clemente (address will be shared w/ you upon scheduling). You, your pup, and Ryan will get acquainted and walk together through the city. 

​

Group Classes are held at The Reata Park & Event Ctr off Ortega HWY in San Juan Capistrano.
