Little Paws, Big World
A soulful start for your baby puppy (under 4 months). This 3-session private coaching series helps you and your puppy build a foundation of trust, rhythm, and real-life readiness — without overwhelm, rigid rules, or rushing their development. You’ll learn how to support your puppy’s needs and your own through relationship, not just repetition. Together, we’ll explore what it means to raise a puppy — not just train one. $255
We’ll focus on:
Creating daily routines that support calm, confidence, and connection
Introducing everyday experiences like leashes, harnesses, and gentle handling
Understanding your puppy’s communication and emotions
Preventing common challenges like overarousal, nipping, and jumping — with kindness
Laying the groundwork for real-life skills like attention, recall, sit, and settle — in ways that feel safe and joyful for your puppy
Includes:
3 private coaching sessions (in-home or online)
Personalized intake and rhythm planning
Puppy-specific enrichment and exploration support
Weekly resources (handouts, trackers, and discovery prompts)
Gentle introduction to understanding your dog through the LEGS framework: Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self
This package is a good fit for families who want a holistic and long-lasting approach to preventing common challenges with kindness and clarity while setting up routines that support calm, connection, and communication. This package may not be a good fit for those seeking quick fixes or rigid obedience.
Puppy Foundations
A grounded beginning for adolescent dogs and the people who love them (4-12 months). Foundations is a private 4 lesson coaching package that supports connection, calm, and confidence during a dog's adolescent phase. We’ll build essential life skills through the lens of your dog’s LEGS (learning, environment, genetics, self). You’ll learn how to create clarity without pressure, communicate without overwhelm, and respond to challenges with compassion — for your dog and yourself. $340
We’ll learn together:
Attention, recall, and engagement in real-world situations
Loose leash walking and social skills including how to deal with challenging people, dogs, and circumstances
Emotional regulation and support for behaviors like jumping, mouthing, or restlessness
Foundation behaviors like stay, wait, and settle — taught with compassion and clarity
Body language, consent cues, and calm connection in daily routines
Includes:
4 private coaching sessions
Weekly email recaps
Handouts and video support
Nervous system awareness and how to respond to big feeling in yourself and your dog
Flexible session format (in-home or online options)
Invitation to continue with the Empowered package if you’d like deeper support
This package is a good fit for families wanting simple, sustainable strategies you can use in daily life — plus support to reduce friction and increase co-regulation between you and your dog. This package may not be a fit for families wanting a one-size-fits-all fix or expecting big changes without everyday practice and engagement.
Empowered Puppy
A six lesson deeper coaching journey for adolescent dogs and the people growing alongside them. We’ll begin with four foundational sessions (see above) focused on relationship-building, regulation, and real-life readiness. Then, we’ll expand into two integrative sessions designed to apply those tools in context — whether that’s couch time, walks, veterinary visits, or navigating the unexpected. This series is about trust, timing, and clarity. We’ll work with your dog’s unique needs and support your growth as a compassionate advocate and co-regulator. $510
We’ll collaborate on:
Walking strategies, safety games, and calm connection in motion
Emotional regulation and focus around real-life distractions
Moving through the world with confidence, boundaries, and advocacy
Reading and responding to arousal, frustration, and shutdown in the moment
Opportunities to explore breed specific enrichment, social consent, and cooperative care (vet clinic comfort) in action
Includes:
Weekly emails & recaps
Supportive handouts, videos, resources
Two check-in’s after the final session (video chat or email)
Flexible session format (hybrid or in-home)
Optional Walk With Me add-on to deepen walking skills in real time
Invitation into future walking groups and discounts on future workshops
This package is great for families that want to build confidence in situations like walks, greetings, vet visits, and unexpected moments while moving beyond obedience to true understanding and co-regulation. This package may not be a fit for those who want control at the expense of connection or instruction without introspection.
Walk With Me
Walk With Me is a one-time in-motion private discovery coaching session for puppies 5-12 months old or adult dogs, held during a real-life walk — in your neighborhood, a local park, or wherever movement with your dog happens most. This experience is part walking practice and part co-regulation lab. It’s about understanding how your dog moves through the world — and how you do, too. Rather than drilling skills, we’ll focus on application: how to make decisions, adjust in the moment, and build confidence as a team. $90
Note: If your dog is experiencing moderate to severe leash reactivity, we’d love to support you through a more personalized plan. Please start by booking a consult so we can discuss the best next steps for you and your dog.
Skills & Discoveries:
Navigating leash skills with clarity
Reading body language and emotional shifts on walks
Practicing responsiveness instead of reactivity
Exploring advocacy and space-making in real contexts
Reframing walks as shared regulation, not performance
Discovering your own pacing, capacity, and confidence
Also included:
Brief recap email with highlights + suggested follow-up
Optional reflection handouts and prompts
Flexible format (home neighborhood, public space, or your dog’s usual route)
Available after Empowered or Foundations, Adult basics or Advanced. Also available as a one-time walk, after initial consultation/assessment.
