Private Consults
One-on-one 60 minute sessions at your house or via Zoom. I'll work directly with you and your dog and give you a chance to do what I'm doing so you can continue training after I’ve left. Alternatively, I can do the training for you (you don’t even have to be home!) and then show you how to get your dog to do their new behaviors.
For some issues, I’m happy to work with people outside my area by providing Zoom meeting consults.
$175 per session
$510 for 3 pre-paid sessions ($170/session)
$825 for 5 pre-paid sessions ($165/session)
Board and Train
You want your dog professionally trained but you just don't have the time? Maybe they can come to me for a little while. Because your dog will be living with a trainer, they’ll get nearly constant training. We’ll specifically work on things at least three times each day. We'll keep in touch, I'll send photos, and you can come visit anytime. When I return your dog safely to you, you'll learn how to keep up the training. This could be perfect for your vacation time (your dog already needs to go somewhere safe - they might as well learn some new skills while they are there). One 60-minute private transfer session is included for week-long board and train engagements. Boarding fees (except for food which you’ll provide) are included. Additional fee for dogs who are not reliably house trained.
$250/night - minimum of 7 days
$280/night for dogs who are not house trained
BOARDING
This is something I can offer only sometimes and for select training clients. When your dog stays here, they'll be treated like a member of our family. Lots of play and cuddles and exercise (as is appropriate for their age and overall health). No small crates for hours on end or constant noise like at a kennel. I rarely bring in more than one boarding client at a time - and only if I’m confident that all the dogs involved will get along well.
Cuddles included: training is extra.
$130/night
Something ELSE?

Contact me and let's talk. Either I can help, or I can refer you to someone who can.
The fine print
Accepted forms of payment include: cash, personal checks, credit cards, Venmo, Zelle
Animals come with a lot of variables. I'll be honest with you and transparent, but I cannot make guarantees (neither can an honest doctor).
No refunds on pre-paid sessions - unused sessions expire six months after purchase.
Cancellations with less than 48 hours will be charged in full.

Teddy and Tim meet for the first time. (Photo courtesy of Diana L.)
“I can’t speaking highly enough of Tim’s training of dogs (and humans)! It’s because of Tim we have a dog as he has been coaching us before we brought home our puppy. Tim truly cares and is very pleasant to work with. Our puppy gets so happy whenever he sees Tim and my kids and I learn a great deal watching Tim train with positive reinforcement. If you’re looking for a firm but fun loving and effective trainer of not only dogs but humans as well - you have found one! ”
