In-Home Behavioral Consultation

Private instruction focused on addressing behavior problems in the home or neighborhood environment.  Trouble-shooting for aggression, separation anxiety, house manners, leash manners, housebreaking, pack issues, barking problems, digging problems, general obedience issues. People-empowerment techniques with a positive, humane approach that works for all members of the family. 

Do you have a behaviorally healthy dog?
The consultation will take place in your home or the environment in which the problem behavior is occurring.  This type of consultation is recommended when unwanted behavior is occurring primarily in the home or neighborhood, as classes can not directly address these circumstances.  Consultations are considered "coaching sessions", designed to help you understand the root causes of your dog's behavior.

REQUIREMENTS:

    1. Pre-payment of $130 is required. This covers approximately 1 and a half hours of consultation time, depending on the hourly rate for your location (see below).  You will pay for only the time and materials you use, so if you do not use the whole 90 minutes credit may be given toward follow-up visits or recommended classes.  Follow-up visits are not required, but are sometimes recommended.
    2. Printed educational materials, a written report, and books at cost (if appropriate) may be included. Follow up visits will be discussed at initial consultation and are dependent on the nature of the behavior problem. Additional visits are at the same hourly rate listed below.
    3. Behavioral profile form should be filled out and emailed to michelegodlevski@yahoo.com no later than 48 hours before first session.  PLEASE NOTE:  IF YOU FILL OUT THE Behavioral profile form AHEAD OF TIME, THE COUNSELOR WILL READ IT BEFORE YOUR VISIT, THUS SAVING YOU MORE TIME FOR THE CONSULTATION.
    4. You will receive an email confirmation of your appointment after your register online and we receive payment.  If you do not receive an email confirmation, please call our office at 855-0422 to confirm your appointment.

TESTIMONIALS


"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed our in-home consultation with you.  You were great (positive, clear, encouraging), I learned a ton, and well It really helped me to feel confident that I'm not a failure at being a dog trainer.   Now we're having a great time and seeing the results that I was hoping for (no more barking/lunging).  We have been using our gentle leaders with PRIDE and practicing a lot.  Anyway, I just wanted to send you a note of THANK YOU! You have really  helped me and my woofie family.  I cant wait to do more with Teamworks".

Thank you AGAIN!

"I just wanted to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all you have done to help our family deal with our many dog issues.  Your diagnoses and advice were always exactly on target, and I can’t tell you how appreciative I am...I really loved the fact that you were so down-to-earth and warm and loving with our dogs.  Most important, you were incredible with the kids and working with the family as a whole to solve the problem.  I will recommend you as the best to anyone who has dog issues, and I am sure we will be consulting you in the future, as sharing a household with three rescue dogs and two young children is not always the easiest endeavor."

Sincerely,
J. Kochman and family
If I could give a review more than five stars, I would do it in a heartbeat for Teamworks Dog Training. I can't rave to enough people about our experience!

Long story short, we have two female dogs that want to be alpha, and we've had some behavior problems that we're rather worried about. Michele, the in-home trainer, came highly recommended from a friend for "serious behavior problems," so we signed up for an in-home consultation. Michele is a registered trainer and a certified dog obedience instructor and dog behavior counselor (she has a plethora of accredidations to her name), so I felt like we were in pretty good hands.

We had to fill out a massive questionnaire before the consultation that Michele could look over. And before I go further, it's not cheap. But now that we've gone through it, I would have paid that easily, and more, to experience Michele's wealth of knowledge and the confidence that she gave us.

Michele listened attentively as we explained the variety of problems we've been having and the things we've been trying, letting her know various examples of what's worked and what hasn't. She made us feel really good about the way we treat our dogs and gave us confidence for things we're already doing to help them. And the best part - she's super honest, so when she told us she thought we could rectify the problems, I knew she wasn't just giving us an earful. She truly cares about dogs and their owners and making their lives as peaceful as possible.

In addition to in-home consults for serious problems, Michele and her co-trainers offer a huge variety of classes, ranging from dominance and aggression classes to leash manners to agility classes for well-trained dogs. Michele also offers boarding in her beautiful home where she does daily training with the dogs and videotapes it so the owners can view after picking up their babies. She also bathes the dogs before returning them to you - and it's all for $40 a night. I've never boarded a dog of my own before, but for the all-inclusive package, and the unbelievably capable and caring hands they go into, that's worth it to me.

If you have a dog with behavior problems - or just want to get some further training for your already well-behaved pooch - give Teamworks a look now!
