behavior issues,
primarily from the lack
of proper training or
the mis-use of training

to your home.
Your dog is unique and
special - your dog

BOARD & TRAIN
Working with 4 Paws Community Center (www.4pawscc.com), a luxury pet
boarding, day care and grooming resort in Bloomfield Hills, I now offer Board
& Train out of their facility.  Your dog stays at 4 Paws and I go to the
facility to train your dog.  Upon completion of your dog's learning, you and I
will meet at the facility to show you how to continue your dog's education.

Following are some sample packages for you to get an idea of Board & Train.  
These are only examples, and YOUR package will be CUSTOMIZED to you
and your dog's specific needs, such as dates, length of stay and learning
goals.  Training sessions with you will also need to be factored in based on
your dog's learning goals.

I will first meet you and your dog in your home or we will meet over Skype if
you are beyond the service radius; either way there is no-charge for this
meeting.  After that meeting I will design a training curriculum for your dog,
then review it with you to ensure we are in agreement.  From there I will
present you with a detailed fee breakdown that includes both my fees, as well
as the charges from 4 Paws.  However, you will pay 4 Paws direct to save you
any handling fees from me for their services, also allowing them to give you
any of their package savings for day care.

Please note that while I charge for only one hour of training with your dog, I
will be spending anywhere from 60-90 minutes per session.  When your dog is
not in training, he or she will be having fun in day care or sleeping in luxury
rooms.  All policies of 4 Paws are applicable; you will be required to complete
both the 4 Paws and The Pet Teacher applications. The Pet Teacher is closed
on Sunday.

==========================================
DOGGY HOME ALONE  SESSIONS
Often called "day training" sessions, I come to your home to work with your
dog for several sessions - without you - and then we have a session so I can
teach you what your dog has learned!  While you're at work, at an
appointment, or even while you're home but unavailable, I work with your dog
for several days IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT and then meet with you to pass
your dog's new skills to you!  First, I have a phone chat with you to learn your
needs.  From there I design a customized curriculum for you to approve.  
Once we are in agreement with your needs, I will email you an invoice via
PayPal.  All Home Alone exercises require 5-session packages: 4 sessions for
me to work with your dog, and 1 session for me to work with you.  Each session
consists of 30-45 minutes of practice with your dog with 15 minutes of play
and potty time.  One 5-session package is $225.00.

-Please phone me to discuss your needs, 248-232-3655.
-There is a mileage fee for anything over 20 miles ROUND TRIP from
48320.  Mapquest will be used to determine the exact mileage; Areas beyond
20 miles round trip from 48320 will be charged a time/mileage fee of $.
25/mile round trip.
-Written email recaps of our session(s) are available for an additional fee.
-PayPal only please due when booking the first session; I will email you an
invoice.

==========================================
DAY BREAKS
If your dog needs a break while you're gone or even if you work from a home
office and can't be interrupted, this option will help you.  I come to your
home, take your dog outside for a mid-day potty break and spend play time
with your pup.  
No training, just FUN FUN FUN!  There is no charge for
several dogs, only for my time!  Day Breaks available only within a 5 mile
radius of 48320.  Payment is due before service, PayPal only please; I will
email you an invoice.  Please note that once my time has been booked, there
are no refunds, however any monies left may be applied to future bookings or
training services.

20 minute Day Break = $15.00
30 minute Day Break = $20.00
45 minute Day Break = $25.00
60 minute Day Break = $30.00

==========================================
OUT-OF-TOWN VISITS FOR YOUR DOG(S)
If you're going away and need someone who understands dog behavior, as well
as being a first-class pet sitter to visit your dogs while you're gone, this is
the option you want!  There is a minimum required schedule of three visits for
adult dogs and a minimum required four visits for puppies (and, of course, you
can always choose more visits).  

All you have to do is to pick the amount of time you'd like me to spend with
your dog per visit.  Potty/play breaks are normally 20-30 minutes; visits that
include meals are recommended at 45-60 minutes.  I don't charge extra for
multiple dogs, just for the time spent.  No matter what, each visit includes two
potty breaks (when I arrive and again before I leave) and play with lots of
loving and ear scritches.  And, of course, a meal if that's the scheduled visit.

  • The Out-Of-Town Visits are available only within a 5-mile radius of
    48320.  That radius is necessary to enable me to effectively schedule
    all of the services that I offer.  Please phone me if you need something
    different.

  • A 25% non-refundable deposit is required when booking the dates; the
    balance due the day you depart.  First visit of the day is 8am; last visit
    of the day is 8pm.  Hours before 8am or after 8pm are an option (based
    on availability) for a $10-$20 surcharge per visit.

  • Please note that a 7-day notice for booking, cancellation or changing
    service is required.  If less than 7 days notice for booking the dates, or
    less than 7 days notice for canceling any part of this Out-Of-Town
    service, there is a 25% surcharge on the TOTAL service.  Example: You
    have booked 7 days pet sitting and return home after 5 days, there will
    be a 25% fee on the ENTIRE charge (not just the unused balance)
    before the refund is processed Or: You have a planned vacation leaving
    in two weeks, but don't book until five days before you leave.  There
    will be a 25% fee added to the total charge for less than 7-days
    booking the dates.  It's best to book early!

  • All refunds will be processed the month following the refund request if
    requested by the 15th of the month.  Refunds requested after the 15th
    will be processed the second month following the refund request.  In
    other words, refund requested by May 15th will be processed in June;
    refunds requested after May 15th will be processed in July.

  • Home Alone training may be used during the Out-Of-Town Visits.  The
    fees will be determined on the training needs in combination with the pet
    sitting visits, making this option a completely customized program for
    you and your dog!
