A link is at the top of this page that explains how this common sense training approach is different.

Training here may be addicting! Many trainers discover a new hobby to do with their pet - we have fun!


A MEET & GREET (M&G) Consult with your pet at my training building is first, before joining a group class.

If you are a returning Results - Pawformance past trainer with a younger pet that
does not have any major issues, this may be waived.
Note, pets acclimate to a group with less stress if s/he has been here for a Meet & Greet (M&G).

New Puppy? While you are waiting for your group class, you may do a Jump Start Lesson(s) per your needs.

Jump Start Lesson? If we both agree your pet may be a good fit here, you may add $30 to the M&G $40 fee
and stay an hour, if time is available.
Do advise if you may be interested in an hour instead of a half hour M&G when you schedule.


Puppy Class or Obedience & Manners (O&M) Level One Group Classes:
To reserve a spot in a group class, a non-refundable $120 deposit is required.
This may be paid at your M&G or prior to the first class. Walkins may be taken at the first
class (Trainer Orientation) only if room is available. See the Puppy and O&M classes info below.

Health Record: Please bring a current paper copy health record for my file noting your pet's health is
good and vaccinations are current on professional letterhead. This is required.
Please provide updates as they occur, thank you!

print this two page form and bring completed to the first class.

the training building until the 'open' sign or I appear as a lesson may be in progress, thank you.

ALUMNI with a returning (not new) pet: If your pet's form is on file with the same returning trainer,
you only have to refresh your pertinent information.
