Fee Schedule

Reasonably priced training options for your puppy!

Option #1. $79. Try-out option! This option allows you to participate in one (1) class session with no obligation to continue! This is appropriate for owners who would like to try out the class before making a commitment. This try-out option is available only if there is room in the class on any given Saturday. Subsequently, if an owner elects to enroll in the program, a private training session will be given prior to an owner's return to the class with their puppy, and a $40 credit will be given to whatever enrollment option an owner chooses.

Option #2. $339. Full enrollment with standard private session. This option suffices and works well for most puppy owners. It consists of the individual registration /training session (approximately 45 min) followed by 5 group training and socialization sessions - plus additional sessions, if neeeded, at no extra charge. In total, owners will be allowed up to 9 obedience training and behavioral counseling sessions (1 private + 8 group) sessions for one low enrollment fee per dog! This is a tremendous value considering the benefits of the Head Start program.

Option #3. $489. Full enrollment with extended private session. Basic enrollment plus comprehensive private training and behavioral counseling session in office of the instructor prior to the start of the classes. Session lasts approximately 1.5 - 2.0 hrs. This option is absolutely required if you have a puppy with a non-typical puppy behavioral problem (e.g. aggressive biting that is not play-related; separation anxiety; difficult to housetrain). Non-typical puppy behavioral problems such as these are not addressed in the class. They require intervention on an individual basis before the problem becomes habit. If you are unsure that your puppy has a "non-typical puppy behavioral problem", please phone the instructor, Dr. Polsky, to discuss this option before enrolling in the program. Note, that this option should also be considered if you are a first-time dog owner, or if you have no experience in dog training procedures.

Option #4. $559. Full enrollment with extended private session in your home. Same as option #3 except the initial private session is done in your home! Session lasts approximately 2 hrs., and behavioral training procedures will be customized according to the particulars of the case. This option provides maximum benefit in teaching you the procedures to expedite housebreaking procedures.

Post-graduation. $29 per class session. This is a per class session fee, and can only be utilized upon graduation from Option #2, Option #3, or Option #4. This option allows owners to continue with the classes after completing the maximum 9 sessions allowed for a period of up to one year from the time of graduation.
