Dog Training Style
The human/dog relationship is remarkable and unique. It can be loving and rewarding or stressful and frustrating. The key to a successful human/dog relationship is knowing how to communicate effectively with your dog and lead them in a balanced life. It's creating the structure, expectations, and rules that your dog needs to navigate through our world, while maintaining his/her true nature. Whether you need help in selecting the right dog for you, getting proper balance with your current companion, or simply correcting unwanted behaviors, I would love to help!

PRICES AND PACKAGES
In-Home Training
Package
(owner must be present)
$425 for 3 sessions
(first session - 1.5 hours, 1 hour each additional session)
$595 for 5 sessions
(first session - 1.5 hours, 1 hour each additional session)
I will come to your home and work with you and your dog for one hour each week. I will teach you the skills you need to work on throughout the week. In-home dog training is one of the most effective ways to teach your dog, as it takes place in their typical environment where unwanted behaviors are most likely to occur. We will transition to working in other locations: neighborhood, park, etc. This very effective for distractions and teaching proper leash-walking. Feel free to contact me via email (jamie@sitspotstay.com) to see if I would be a good fit for you.
Week Long Day Training Package
(owner must be present first and last sessions)
$595 per week (5 sessions)
I will come to your home Monday through Friday, working with your dog for one hour each day. The first session (Monday) will be 1.5 hours, beginning with a 30-minute meeting with you, the owner, followed by a one-hour training session with your dog. On Friday, you, the owner, and I will meet again for one hour to review the progress made throughout the week. You are not required to be home during the training sessions from Tuesday through Thursday, though you are welcome to be present if you prefer.
This program is ideal for busy dog owners or those who may struggle to dedicate time to training. Achieving desired results typically requires more than one week of training.
Feel free to contact me via email (jamie@sitspotstay.com) to see if I would be a good fit for you.
Puppy/Dog Selection Package
(owner must be present)
$425 for 3 sessions
(3 sessions to help you know how to find and select the right dog for you)
Selecting a dog that is the right fit for you and your family is critical to having a successful relationship. I will take into consideration the energy level of your family and the dog, and the qualities you want in a dog. I am able to determine temperament and energy level in dogs at a fairly young age. I would strongly encourage purchasing an in-home or week long day training package after getting your dog. This is the best way to start off on the right foot and ensure a smooth dog ownership experience. Feel free to contact me via email (jamie@sitspotstay.com) to see if I would be a good fit for you.

Meet the Trainer
Jamie Burns, IACP-CDT
Hello, my name is Jamie. I am a certified dog trainer through the International Association of Canine Professionals (www.iacpdogs.org). I am also an American Kennel Club CGC (Canine Good Citizen) Evaluator. I am a balanced dog trainer which means I use the techniques and tools that work for each individual dog and owner to help their dog become emotionally and physically balanced. I use a mixture of structure, discipline (always humane corrections), clear guidance, body language, energy, and praise. I'm passionate about helping you decrease stress and increase happiness between you and your dog.
Many owners have great intentions and expend significant effort to train their pet, yet lack the knowledge and skills to achieve the dog/human relationship they desire.
Whether teaching obedience or helping overcome behavioral issues, I can help you fulfill your dog's needs. Using balanced leadership (rules, discipline, boundaries, exercise and praise) I will help you achieve the harmonious dog/human relationship you desire.
“My dog went from biting the brush to licking my hand when brushing. Simply amazing!”
"Jamie's techniques were simple, efficient and effective!"
