Services Offered
Initial Consultation
Odyssey believes that the relationship between the dog and their guardian should be the foundation for training. Teaching (training) your dog what they need to learn to successfully navigate the human world, requires understanding, commitment, and time. During our initial consultation, we will discuss the guardians’ and the dog(s) needs and expectations, as well as Odyssey’s goals and expectations.
An assessment will be completed during the consultation to determine if your dog will require additional resources to work on aggressive/reactivity concerns (pricing is listed below).
$50 fee- waived if services are booked at the time of consultation
Dog Walking
Dog Walking is offered Monday through Thursday. We will pick your dog up and either walk it near your home or take it to a dog-friendly area for exercise.
$25 per 30-minute walk
$180 per month for up to two walks per week to be scheduled one week in advance if not on a set monthly schedule.
$10 surcharge for aggressive/reactive dogs (desensitizing and counterconditioning included)
Drop-in House Visit
We will come to your home for a 30-minute visit. We will spend time with your pet and will, at minimum let them out.
$25 per 30-minute visit
Private Lessons
$150 private lesson- 1-1 ½ hour session
We will come to your home, or meet at a public space if appropriate, to work on your dog’s specific goals and behaviors, and ensure the owner has the tools and knowledge necessary to continue working independently.
$400 three-week private lessons- (three) 1-1 ½ hour sessions
We will train at your home once a week, in a one-on-one manner, to work on the goals established during the consultation.
$675 five-week private lessons- (five) 1-1 ½ hour sessions
We will train at your home once a week and focus on ensuring the K9 has basic obedience (sit, heal, place, and come), as well as work on any struggles that may be occurring with your K9 or yourself.
$30 refresher session- 1- 1 ½ hour session
All training packages will include the cost of equipment/training tools required.
When appropriate, we will go to dog-friendly environments to further develop skills and socialization.
All dogs are required to be current on their vaccinations: Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella (nasal or injectable). We highly recommend that all dogs are on a heartworm preventative as well as flea/tick preventative.
All the above training programs are structured for dogs WITHOUT behavior problems.
Reactive/Aggressive Behaviors
We are more than willing and able to work with aggressive/reactive dogs. If your dog is assessed as having reactive/aggressive behavior(s), they will be required to be muzzle conditioned and wear a muzzle while we work through the issues.
The scheduled lesson time periods may not reflect the actual time that will best suit your dog, so we will communicate openly to ensure we are doing what is best for your dog and not hold fast to a set number of minutes. For example, if during the first lesson, your dog muzzle punches the trainer and shuts down, we will work to reschedule another session to continue the training. Dogs with aggression/reactivity do not fit a "stereotypical" curriculum, and therefore need some grace to work through their issues.
$250 single private 1- 1 ½ hour lesson for aggressive/reactive dogs:
We will train at your home once a week, in a one-on-one manner, to work on the goals established during the consultation. There is no way a single lesson will bring resolution to the aggression or reactivity, but we will begin to establish the "whys" behind the behaviors and work towards finding the best way forward.
$500 three-week private lessons- (three) 1-1 ½ hour sessions
$725 five-week private lessons- (five) 1-1 ½ hour sessions
