State of Mind Dog Training

Available only after initial virtual consultation.

This package is good for those getting started on their training journey. Regardless of what your overarching goals are, it’s important make sure certain foundations are in place in order to have lasting success with more difficult behaviors down the line.

This package includes:

• Six 1-hour in person sessions

• One 5.5 ft slip leash (Angie will bring to the first session)

• Access to the SOMDOG client portal on Circle for 4 months which includes weekly office hours, video library, and more (valued at $27/month)

• Access to Angie in between sessions via the video messaging app, Marco Polo

• A PDF download of the "SOMDOG Training Guide to Living a Better Life with Your Dog" E-Book (20 pages jam packed full of dog training goodness)

Though each session is customized according to each owner and dog’s needs, during these 6 sessions we typically cover the following:

• How to use a slip leash and get a loose leash walk

• How to read your dog’s body language and clearly communicate with them

• What your relationship is like with your dog and what changes you can make to improve your life with them

• How to incorporate structure and boundaries both inside your home and on the walk

• How to do “Yes Work” to shape behaviors and create positive associations with various things

• How to address simple behavior issues like leash pulling, jumping, and basic obedience

• How to properly crate train

• Introduce the place command

• Though we likely will not resolve it in only 6 sessions, Angie will also guide you through how to address and start working through more significant behavior issues like reactivity, anxiety, and hyperactivity.

The fine print:

Sessions must be held in or near Martinez, CA (additional fees will be charged for any travel over 15 miles from Martinez CA).

For best results, it's recommended to book sessions at weekly (or close to weekly) intervals. Sessions must be used within 4 months from original purchase.

Please note that 6 sessions is starting point and your dog may need more than 6 sessions in order to achieve your goals, particularly if they are reactive, have separation anxiety, or other significant behavior issues. If you would like to continue training after the initial package is completed, you can purchase additional sessions.

Available ONLY after an initial training package has been completed (unless Angie indicates otherwise).

This package is for those who have already learned foundations with their dog and want to incorporate the e-collar into their training. During these sessions, we will cover how to condition your dog to the e-collar, show you now to properly and responsibly incorporate the e-collar into your training and use it for various scenarios.

This package includes:

• An E-Collar Technologies e-collar (Mini or Micro Educator models) and accessories (including a biothane bungee quick release collar and belt clip).

• One 5-hour day train where Angie introduces the e-collar to your dog and begins the conditioning process. Angie will take videos throughout the day and show you how she does everything.

• Three subsequent 1-hour in-person training sessions to ensure that you have a good understanding of everything as your dog becomes conditioned to the e-collar, how to use the e-collar in various situations, and make sure your dog is responding appropriately.

• Access to the SOMDOG client portal on Circle for 90 days which includes weekly office hours, a video library, and more (valued at $27/month).
