How Does It Work?
We set up an initial consultation with members of the family. During this session we will discuss and decide how often our trainer will visit with your dog. We can set up a 1 hour, 90 minute or 2 hour session per visit. During the consultation we demonstrate our techniques and go over the skills and behaviors that are important to your family. and we will put together a schedule that is agreeable to everyone. For example: new puppies might need more time and more frequent visits.

In addition, Good CitiZEN Boot Camp programs include educational materials and individualized training goals. Progress reports will be given frequently and private sessions to bring dog parents “into the training process” may also be arranged in advance.

We pride ourselves in giving the best service at affordable prices. For rates, please contact us.
