In-home Behavior Consultation

A dog’s behavior is influenced by its environment. An in-home consultation can provide valuable insights into why your dog acts as it does. During your dog’s behavior consultation, we assess your dog’s living space and set-up, routines and daily schedules and offer training and handling techniques to improve the quality of life for you and your dog.

Each in-home behavior consultation comes with a complete behavior plan for future follow-ups.
Initial Consultation (75 to 90 minutes): $250
Follow-up Sessions (approximately one hour each): $180

Schedule Your Dog’s Initial Assessment

Ready to enroll your dog to train with Tim at The Hydrant Hotel? Contact us to register your dog for an initial evaluation. We’ll schedule your dog for an initial evaluation and temperament test, where we’ll get to know their personality and basic skills to ensure the best possible training experience at The Hydrant Hotel. Evaluations take about 45 minutes.

Sessions cover basic fundamentals, confidence building and proper drive expression for your particular dog. Tim's goal is to help your pet be the best version of their unique self while also learning whatever foundational skills they need. Dogs will enjoy an hour of different types of training activity. Each session is followed up with a recap via email, phone call, or video depending on the dog's individual needs. Training for severe behavior issues such as aggression, resource guarding or for dogs with bite histories are not available on-site at The Hydrant. Please request a phone call from Tim for cases that fall under this category.
