How Training Works
Monthly Modules, Virtually or In-Person
All Training Modules consist of a 1 Hour Session per week. Sessions include fully personalized training and consulting to help you reach your goals. After our Session, I will assign you targeted homework to complete prior to our next session.
You will receive a Google Doc containing everything we learn together that will be updated weekly!
Your Session will reoccur weekly, same day, same time until all 4 Sessions have been completed.
Life happens, so if you must reschedule or cancel for any reason, you may use 1 of your 2 Postpones.
To Learn More, see our Training Policies page.
Basic to Advanced Obedience
Sliding Scale at $110-160 per month, 4 sessions
This course is for puppies or dogs to learn necessary life skills and become reliable in home and in public. Each course is tailored to address your concerns and goals for your dog.
We will also train towards a written set of foundational cues for a well-rounded dog who can be as polite as they are free.
Advanced Obedience is applying what your dog has learned off-leash. Each dog must pass both Basic & Intermediate OB and be e-collar conditioned prior to admittance.
If your dog has a history of trauma, reactivity, bite history, or other behavioural deficit, please be forthcoming and I will place them in the best course for their condition.
Reactivity Prevention
Sliding Scale from $160-200 per month, 4 Sessions
This course is for any dog who has a minor history of trauma without a bite history.
This may be due to an attack, being separated from their mother too soon, missing a crucial socialization period, being under-socialized, or any dog who is displaying the beginnings of separation anxiety or generalized reactivity.
Reactivity Prevention is preventative behavioural treatment.
This course is for those who may have just noticed that their dog is behaving differently after a certain incident or “No Reason”.
If you have recently adopted a dog from the shelter or if your new puppy/dog is showing concerning behaviours, this course is for you.
If you are uncertain, please contact me with your situation and I will place your dog in the proper course.
If your dog has a bite history, human or animal, documented or not, this is -not- the service for you. Please refer to Behaviour Rehabilitation.
Behaviour Rehabilitation
Sliding Scale at $240-300 per month, 4 sessions
This course is for all dogs with chronic, debilitating, or life-altering reactivity.
Your dog may have been attacked numerous times, spent some or most of their life isolated, have suffered severe trauma, or may have a genetic defect fueling their behaviour.
In our time together, we will immediately apply treatment through trigger identifying, confidence building, counter-conditioning, and learning how to curb reactions all together. This may include muzzle training, including a proper fitting and desensitization.
This is a “Full Service” course that includes anything from Home Management, Cooperative Care, Enrichment for a Calmer Mind, and re-introducing safe activities your dog can enjoy.
If your dog has a bite history, you must purchase a biteproof muzzle and complete muzzle conditioning before I can ethically and safely train your dog in public. Home visits are available to you, contact me with your situation.

Kit is incredibly professional and courteous. They began with our Aussie Cattle pup somewhere around her 10 week mark and has helped us guide her into better behavior and responsiveness.

I've worked with Kit for a few months on my dogs' issues, especially my reactive German Shepherd mix puppy.
I loved their training philosophy, which revolves around encouraging innate behaviors that divert from unwanted behavior, enabling the dog's success in training. I found they were creative and knowledgeable in their solutions to problems we needed to address. They've helped me learn how to modify unwanted dog behaviors in respectful and humane ways.
Most importantly, they have a genuine, huge heart for their clients, four and two footed.

We highly recommend Blossom Dog Training. Kit is so kind and wonderful and very patient with our husky puppy. Our puppy has definitely improved her behavior and is continuing to learn her basic commands.
SD Theodore's Moms
Had a great experience working with Kit. They are very knowledgeable and I love that they believe in LIMA (Least Invasive Minimally Adverse) methods of training and behavior modification. I didn’t realize my dog Theodore was showing anxiety around dogs, and they worked with us to improve his behavior. So very grateful for that. Just finished passing the AKC CGC with Kit, and I am looking forward to continue working with them and my dog. Highly recommend.

Took my dogs to this person. A really wild German Shepherd and a ditzy Husky. Within 8 sessions, my dogs have made leaps and bounds. Great Dog Trainer and very affordable for the services you are getting.
