Getting Started
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.
For group classes, please follow the link to
that page.
For walking and puppy services, a pre-service
meeting must be completed prior to the start of a service. The
appointment usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour and includes
meeting your pet(s), learning about their behaviors, agreeing on
the services needed and completing the necessary forms such as
an emergency release form and to review the contract.
For behavior consults or behavior evaluations,

You can either set up individual
training sessions or purchase package deals except for the
