Itchytail Pet Services offers a range of programs designed to meet various needs. A free 30-minute Consultation call is available to understand client goals and struggles, providing insight into training styles.

The Behavior Assessment is a 90-minute session where owners can demonstrate issues, helping the trainer identify triggers and guide corrections. This is highly recommended before private training.

Private Training consists of customized 1-hour, one-on-one sessions, ideal for dogs with fear, aggression, barking, leash issues, or a history of biting. Group Training includes a Puppy class for pups 3-6 months old, covering house management, basic commands, and socialization with puppy play. The Group Training (Basics) class, for pups 7 months and older, focuses on core skills like Sit, Stay, Come, Heel, and Down, using a reward-based foundation. Online Training provides 1-hour virtual sessions via Teams, focusing on behavior change and relationship building, with coaching on identifying root causes and addressing issues.
