San Francisco Dog Trainer Jeff Stallings
Services and Rates
At this time, I am offering virtual appointments only via Zoom, FaceTime or Teams.
Together we can address many training and behavior issues, and my New Puppy appointment in particular works using these tools.
Virtual dog training and new puppy appointments via Zoom, FaceTime or Teams are $105 and include:
- A Zoom, FaceTime or Teams Consultation lasting up to one hour.
- All relevant training materials (PDFs) emailed prior to the session for the client to print or view on-screen.
- A training plan based on the session, delivered via email within 24 hours after the session is complete.
- Note that I do not schedule phone calls prior to the Zoom session. Instead, I customize the online session using information provided by the client prior to the session.
Dog Behavior Consultations
For dogs with behavior problems, such as leash pulling, reactivity, mild separation anxiety and destructive behavior, I offer virtual behavior consultations to help you understand and address the issues.
Training with Positive Methods
For basic training, including commands and recalls, I focus on positive training methods and effective use of reward-based methods, often incorporating marker training (clickers) and humane harnesses and collars.
Set Your Puppy Up For Success
My new puppy appointments focus on everything you need to know about potty training, socialization, basic commands, encouraging desired behaviors and avoiding unwanted ones (jumping and biting.)
Referrals to Other Professionals
I sometimes refer serious behavior cases to other professionals, including board-certified veterinary behaviorists in San Francisco and at UC Davis.
