Extended Training Questions

Yes, you will have the opportunity to talk directly to Bethany, and come up with an individualized training plan for your puppy.

Of course!  We will schedule a visit at 10 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. 

$1600

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.   

If you are a recipient of a Mr. Jim's Doodle, your puppy will have extra training, which will be more specific to your needs.  You will have the opportunity to discuss training directly with Bethany.  Her fee for you is at a discounted rate of $30 session.

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.
