Uptown Doggy

Uptown Doggy offers personalized virtual training for puppies of all ages, tailored to specific needs and goals. The virtual format allows the dog to learn directly from the owner without distractions.

The training process begins with an Intake Form, followed by an Initial Consultation. This 90-minute virtual session helps evaluate goals, provides tips for preventing and managing problem behaviors, and initiates training exercises. Clients then choose from 3, 5, or 8 session training packages, which consist of one-on-one virtual sessions to teach effective training techniques and address challenges.

Pricing Summary

An Initial Consultation is a 90-minute virtual session for $180. Training packages include 3 one-hour private sessions for $400, 5 one-hour private sessions for $500, and 8 one-hour private sessions for $800.
