“If You Allow Them to Shenan, They Will Definitely Shenanigan”
During our initial consultation we will cover both the guardians’ needs and expectations as well as Odyssey’s goals and expectations.

$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 heart worm preventative as well as flea/tick preventatives.
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, but there are higher rates for dogs with aggression/reactivity challenges to cover the time and additional human resources required. 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 human or dog aggressive/reactive dogs:
An assessment will be completed during the consultation to determine if your dog will require additional resources to work on aggressive/reactivity concerns.
$500 three-week private lessons for human or dog 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.
$725 five-week private lessons- (five) 1-1 ½ hour sessions
Stay and Train (S&T)
The training timeframe will depend on several variables such as the dog's age, goals, previous training, and the dog's response to the training keeping in mind that our first few days will focus mainly on relationship building and discovering your dog's unique characteristics. Although there are no guarantees in training, our S&T clients can expect:
Sit, Place, Come, Heel, Down, Leave It
Crate Training and Socialization with other Dogs
Daily training notes
Videos showing the progress and tips to help the guardians
