Janice Z Dog Training

Janice Z Dog Training offers personalized programs tailored for each dog and guardian. The Puppy Perfection program is for puppies up to 16 weeks old, focusing on laying a solid foundation for lifelong good behavior. The Essential Manners program is for dogs 4 months and up, teaching basic manners for a well-behaved companion.

For more specific issues, the Behavior Problems program addresses fearful, reactive, or aggressive behaviors with customized training for lasting change. The Separation Anxiety program helps dogs feel calm and secure when left alone. The training process follows a clear path: first, a free 15-minute video call to discuss needs, followed by personalized 1-on-1 training sessions, leading to a transformed relationship with the dog.

Pricing Summary

The duration and cost of training depend on the dog’s learning ability and the owner’s consistency with homework, which typically takes no more than 10 minutes a day. After an initial session, Janice Z can provide an estimate of the number of sessions needed. Further details on why dog training can be expensive are available in a blog post.
