What tools do I need to buy?

I'll guide you through how to get the right gear, explain what each tool is for, and make sure it all fits your dog's needs. No guesswork. No upselling.

What's included in training bundles?

Private, customized sessions

A leash

Ongoing support between sessions

Clear guidance on exactly what to work on and when

​

Do you offer group classes?

Not at this time. My work is focused on private training because it allows me to go deeper and create real, lasting results.

What if I've already worked with other trainers?

Good. It means you're dedicated to bettering your dog's life. You're here now. Birch & Sage isn't about chasing trends or using one-size-fits-all methods. It's about meeting you where you are, giving you clarity, and building the relationship you actually want with your dog.

Do you train with eCollars?

Yes - because they work when used properly.

​

HOWEVER if you're not interested, an eCollar won't go on your dog. 

Do you offer virtual training?

Yes. Virtual coaching calls are available for $75 per session. They're ideal if you're outside my travel range or want targeted support without in person lessons.

Can I train more than one dog?

If you're hoping to train two dogs at once, we'll need to talk. It usually requires separate bundles, depending on their behavior and your goals. Book a consult and we'll figure out what makes sense.

How long will training take?

Most clients see meaningful shifts after the first session.

Real transformation? That depends on:

Your consistency

Your goals

Your dog's history

That's why I offer flexible bundles tailored to your goals.

What if my dog's issues are "really bad?"

Then you're in the right place. I work with dogs who've been labeled "too much", "aggressive", "anxious", or "unfixable". Training doesn't erase a dog's past - it rewrites their future. We'll work on behavior modification, not just obedience.

Do you offer boarding or overnight stays?

Typically, no. But if you're a current client with a behavioral dog, let's talk and see what can be worked out.
