Loose Leash Foundation Program™️
Does *taking your dog for a walk* feel more exhausting for you, than it does for the dog? Do you ever dread walking your dog, because it just seems more difficult than *what you signed up for?* Does your dog pull hard on the leash, or weave back and forth? The Loose Leash Foundation Program™️ is most popular for the [too excitable] "sled-dog" wannabe! This program is great for dogs who try to pull you off the road, or off your feet(!) while on a leash! During this program, we'll teach your excitable and energetic dog to settle nicely beside you, to stop when you stop, and to walk forward on a loose leash! This program includes:
-
3 in-person lessons with Kate, completed within a 4-week timeline ($900 value)
-
Lessons are available Monday-Thursday, during the day or during the evening.
-
Each lesson typically lasts 1.5 hours!
-
The first two lessons are typically scheduled at your home (within a 30-minute drive of Pleasant Gap, PA) or at a quiet public park in Centre County, PA.
-
The third lesson is often scheduled at an appropriate public location (park, dog-friendly store, etc) in order to raise the challenge for training.

Off-Leash Evolution Program™️
If your dog is a bit of a *wild child* who runs amok or who has selective hearing at times, then this program might be exactly what you're looking for! Do you dream of a dog who behaves well, off-leash? Who returns every time that you call? A 100% reliable off-leash recall is invaluable! The Off-Leash Evolution Program™️ is ideal for a dog (9 months or older) who loves to be out-and-about! This program focuses on teaching the off-leash recall, and once we have off-leash communication, we can address other nuisance behaviors like chasing wildlife, eating undesired objects (like socks and feces), counter surfing, digging, and jumping, too! This program includes:
-
5 in-person lessons with Kate, completed within a 6-week timeline ($1,500 value)
-
Lessons are available Monday-Thursday, during the day or during the evening.

Each lesson typically lasts 1.5 hours!

Read through these Frequently Asked Questions:
-
How far do you travel?I travel within 30 minutes of my home in Pleasant Gap, PA 16823!
-
Do you train really difficult or challenging dogs?Yes, I do! I recommend my behavioral training program, Social Dog Mastery™️ for dogs who display any of these behaviors: 1. More intense reactivity, leash aggression 2. Undesired behavior toward other dogs, kids, cats, livestock, vets, etc 3. General anxiety, confinement anxiety (crate), car anxiety 4. Thunderstorm phobia, sound sensitivity (fireworks, etc), fearfulness 5. Difficulty with guest arrival (growling, barking, charging toward, etc)
-
Do you train puppies?Yes! The Loose Leash Foundation Program™️ is suitable for puppies 6 months and older. The Off-Leash Evolution Program™️ is suitable for puppies 9 months and older.
-
Does training cost more for multiple dogs?If you own multiple dogs, who all live together and who need training, then additional dogs are added at a discounted rate. We can discuss the dynamics in a multi-dog household during a Next Step Phone Call! :)
-
Do my dog's vaccinations need to be up-to-date?Yes. Prior to your very first in-home lesson, the contract and up-to-date vaccination records will need to be submitted online. I require all dogs to be vaccinated, and up-to-date, against Rabies and Distemper/Parvo (Distemper/Parvo is commonly listed as DA2PP, DH2PP, DA2PPC, or DAPP). These are routine vaccinations. Proof of vaccinations (copy of vet bill will suffice) may be attached to the contract, or emailed to me as an attachment (especially if the file is too big to attach to the contract). You can take a photo of your vet bill with your cell phone and attach that photo to the contract (or email that photo), as long as the vet bill can still easily be read. If you are unable to get up-to-date vaccination records, online programs could be a great option for you! Otherwise, feel free to send me an email with your concerns: theincrediblek9@gmail.com
-
How are lessons scheduled on the calendar?We will determine a time and day of the week that is available for both of us, and then this time is blocked off on the calendar, for many weeks, as "your time." For example, imagine that Mondays from 1:00pm-2:30pm works for both of us. This time will be “your time” every Monday, from 1:00-2:30pm, for the duration of the training program. So, if we were completing the Loose Leash Foundation Program™️, then we’ll complete 3 lessons together within 4 weeks time, so I'll reserve "your time" for 4 back-to-back weeks. That extra week allows us to have some “wiggle room” to “skip” a week if severe weather, holiday travel, or illness interfere with our training efforts on any given week. Blocking off "your time" also allows for a consistent, predictable, weekly training time without always needing to “check the schedule”.
-
What happens if a lesson needs to be canceled or changed?We are all too busy, too sick, or traveling, at times! That’s life, and it’s completely understandable! Lessons can be changed or canceled with more than 24 hours in advance by emailing me: theincrediblek9@gmail.com. If you know that you'll need to change a lesson, then please let me know as soon as possible. Because we have an extra week of time built into the timeline, when conflicts arise, a week may just need to be “skipped” and we’ll resume again the following week, at our regular time. Lessons are often skipped around the holidays and the timeline is adjusted/lengthened to accommodate any necessary holiday time off.
-
What happens if I don’t use all of my program lessons within the timeline?If all lessons aren’t used within the allotted timeline, then you may lose that predictable weekly time slot, because another client may be waiting for that lesson time to become available. If you have any remaining unused lessons, then they may be scheduled at any time and day of the week, as our schedules and availability permit. However, if more than 4 weeks pass after the last completed lesson, then the remaining lessons are forfeited. No exchanges or refunds will be issued.
-
What are payment options?Credit cards are accepted and a payment plan is available for the Off-Leash Evolution Program™️!
-
How do I learn more about your programs and secure dates on the calendar?Please schedule a Next Step Phone Call, and together, we can discuss any additional questions, prices, and scheduling availability. Thank you! I look forward to speaking with you!
