I have been thinking on this concept for some time now.  I have had a few clients recently where the neighborhood walked their dogs nearly the same time of the day.  They all related to me that they needed help, and I have tried to facilitate them getting together.  So I decided to come up with a course that brings the neighborhood together.   

Neighborhood Dog Training Program

This course is designed for folks to come together, train together, and create more canine peace in a neighborhood.  For 8 families the cost is $200 each, plus travel fee to be paid by individual families when meeting one-on-one, unless more families schedule one-on-one sessions the same day, then it can be split, and can be split by all the families I work with in the group sessions.  The travel fee is $10.00 per 15 minutes of travel, round trip.  I can get to most places in Tidewater in 30 to 45 minutes one way.  This plan will take some coordination so it will help if there is one lead family.  It benefits everyone to split the training and house call fee, over spending hourly training fees, which for ten hours would be $600.          

If there are fewer famlies, the training cost per family will go up.  With 8 families it keeps it affordable, yet still a small fun group.     

Week one.  
I meet with each family one-on-one for two hours. (I can work with three families in one day, so those three can split the house call fee). 

Week Two.  
Meet with first four families for two hours.    
Meet with second four families for two hours.  

Week Three.
Meet with first four families for two hours.  
Meet with second four families for two hours. 

Week Four.
Meet with all 8 families for two hours.

Week Five.
Meet with all 8 famlies for two hours.
