For private lessons, an orientation appointment is suggested. It will be your first contact with Daphne and you are not obligated to use her services after this appointment. Daphne wants to unsure that you are comfortable with her principles and methods before you commit to a package deal or several sessions. You can either pay the hourly fee or decide to enroll in a package. She can also refer you to other trainers and training clubs in the area.  Daphne uses positive humane methods including clicker training with least aversives as possible.

You can either set up individual training sessions or purchase package deals except for the walking and puppy services.
