**UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME, BETHANY IS UNABLE TO OFFER THE EXTENDED TRAINING.**

However, if you are interested I am more than willing to talk with you about how I can meet your needs. -Kim

How much does the extended training program cost?

Bethany, our trainer, will meet individually with your puppy at my home, five times a week for approximately 30 minute sessions. Her fee is $350 a week, which totals $1400 for the four extra weeks of training.

Are there kenneling fees for my puppy to stay with you an extra 4 weeks?

Yes, there is an additional kenneling fee, which covers food, treats, weekly deworming, the 8 week puppy vaccines and physical. My fee is $ 200.

What will my puppy learn during the 4 weeks of extended training?

Can I request specific things that I would like my puppy to learn?

We generally like to stick to the training program, as listed above, but Bethany may consider some alterations based on individual families' needs.

Can I come and visit my puppy during the 4 weeks?

Of course! We will schedule a visit at 10 weeks.

What should I expect when I pick-up my puppy at 12 weeks?

Pick up day will include a 2hr transfer session, which will be a time for Bethany to go over all the cues that your puppy has learned, and "train" you on how to communicate with your puppy correctly; this includes using the clicker correctly. This is a time for you see what your puppy has learned, and work with Bethany to learn how to continue the training, as well as ask any questions you may have.

These behaviors will be well introduced (but not necessarily cemented at this age) and will need frequent, consistent reinforcement by the family in order to be maintained.

What is the TOTAL cost of the extended 4 week training program?

$1600

Does Bethany offer in-home training?

Yes, Bethany offers training in your home as well. However, it will depend on your location. She will NOT travel more than an hour from Lancaster, PA. She would charge her normal $75 fee, plus travel expenses.

Does Bethany do Zoom call training?

Yes! Bethany is very happy to help you train your dog, and if talking over Zoom and working on some training that way works for you, it works for her. She charges $30 a session over Zoom.
