Dogs by Linda, LLC offers Training Packages, Trainer Guided Walks, and Behavioral Consulting. Training Packages include either three or six sessions, beginning with a 90-minute introductory consultation (in-home or remote) followed by one-hour training sessions. These packages address general behavior problems and basic manners, with sessions conducted in various locations like the client’s yard, neighborhood, home, or a local park.
Trainer Guided Walks are designed to help with leash pulling and other walking behaviors, teaching skills such as recall, loose leash walking, and attention in distracting environments.

These consultations can also be used for fine-tuning owner-trained service dogs, earning trick dog titles, or addressing nuisance behaviors like jumping, digging, and barking. All programs emphasize positive rewards-based, kind, and compassionate methods.
