REMEMBER ...
8 out of 10 dogs end up
in a shelter due to
behavior issues,
primarily from the lack
of proper training or
the mis-use of training
techniques.
If you can afford the
dog you must also
afford the training!  
Keep your dog from
becoming another sad
shelter statistic! Start
working with a
professional trainer
knowledgeable in the
proper use of  positive
reinforcement
methodology.  Start the
week you bring your dog
to your home.
TRAIN & PLAY SESSIONS
Your relationship with
your dog is unique and
special - your dog
training should be just
as exceptional.

TESTIMONIAL

The depth of your
knowledge and
commitment to your

amazing.  You speak

empathy, and common
sense.  I respect
your opinion more
than any other animal
professional I have
ever known.

TRAIN & PLAY
Do more for your dog than just a mid-day walk or play break!  The Pet Teacher will come
to your home and combine a customized training session followed by play time!  Your dog
gets the best of both worlds!

You want your dog to be schooled with the right positive reinforcement techniques, yet
you don’t always have time to commit to training sessions.  The Pet Teacher’s Train &
Play session are your answer!

I’ll come to your home, spend 40 minutes teaching and practicing with your dog, then
follow it with a 20 minute play break for a 60 minute total session.  The initial sessions
must be purchased in groups of 5 sessions @ $45 each (check), $35 each (cash).  The
first session will be used to meet you and your dog, find out what your dog knows and
your goals, sign the contract, get the keys, and allow me to spend some time alone with
your dog while you are home so I can design a training plan and your dog can feel
comfortable with me.  The last session will be used to meet again with you to show you
what we’ve worked on.  Going forward, then, the sessions can be purchased in minimum
groups of 4 - three sessions for practice, and one session to meet with you to show you
how to practice with your dog.  I can create a customized plan reflective of your goals.  
Maybe you want your dog to learn some tricks, or walk better on leash, or come when
called, stay at the door.  The possibilities are endless!

Some issues that are not appropriate for Train & Play sessions:
No house training - I can’t house train your dog because that’s a 24 hour/7 day
job. I CAN teach you the house training process, but actually teaching your dog is
something only you can do.
No off leash at this time, because in Oakland County it is illegal to have a dog off
leash plus it is a liability issues,  A dog trainer should NEVER take your dog off
leash in an area that does not have a fence.  I will teach your dog UP to off-leash
reliability, but will not take your dog off-leash except for inside your home or
fenced yard.
No aggression - Train & Play is inappropriate for any form of dog aggression,
whether it is dog/dog, dog/human, food or toy guarding, or other resource
guarding.

NOTE: Train & Play has helped some dogs with mild separation anxiety because it
stimulates thinking which may help your dog to focus on something other than his/her
fears.

At our first session, here’s what we need to accomplish:
Keys - It is absolutely necessary to have a key in case of a power outage rather
than using a garage door code.
Pick up your completed contract
Review your dog’s vaccination record (all vaccinations must be current)
Have first 5-session payment ready
Please note that multiple pets will require multiple sessions
