Frankie Berger Dog Training

We do things differently around here!

Our training philosophy focuses on creating a positive relationship between you and your pup while also encouraging healthy communication. Because of this, a wide variety of tools may be used in accordance with what helps your dog learn the best.

We stand out from the crowd and want to help you do the same!

As a queer, disabled, woman-owned business, we strive to provide quality training to all dogs and humans who come from all walks of life. Accessibility and compassion are hallmarks of our business model. To create the best learning environment, sessions can be held in the comfort of your home, a local park, or at a pet friendly establishment. It's important to us that you feel safe and empowered throughout the training process.

What if I don't want to use aversive training tools?

As a professional trainer I feel an obligation to make recommendations based on what I believe is the most effective course of action. That being said, I strive to work with the humans and dogs within their realm of comfortability. If you do not want to use aversive tools I will not make you! There are dozens of ways to train everything, and it's always my goal to work collaboratively with my clients to find solutions that best fit the dog, human, and lifestyle in question.

Service Dog Training

Service dog training is a very intimate and intense process that is equal parts frustrating and rewarding.

Individual service dog session

Day Trains and Working Walks

Options for the busy human that wants to keep their pup's obedience up, or for those dogs that need a little extra boost in their training. Think of it like after school tutoring to help set them up for success!

Half day train/Full day train

$250-$350+

Got a hectic schedule but still want to set in foundational training? Or maybe your pup has a specific issue you'd like laser focused on? Half day trains (4 hour duration) or full day trains (8 hour duration) may be a great option for you. With both the half and full day trains your dog would be coming with me for the duration of their session to work one on one with just me in a variety of settings. Pricing subject to change.

Working Walk

$80+

The working walk is a structured 30-45 minute walk that works around outside your home on their familiar walking paths. This can help both you and your pup adjust to leash manners and impulse control around your home to help ensure smooth morning or evening walks. Minimum one standard package that has been completed required to book, as this is intended for maintenance/complimentary training. Pricing subject to change.

All prices listed are examples of the minimum standard pricing and is subject to change at any point. Consultation is required to guarantee price.
