***AKC Trick Dog Titles can be achieved via video submission, please see AKC Virtual Titles below.  

AKC Virtual Title Programs

AKC has started a virtual program for owners to earn a few titles with their dogs!  Participants video their "test" according to the specifications and submit the videos to an AKC approved evaluator.  Once approved, the owner submits the evaluations and registration form to AKC.  Dogs can be purebred or mixed breed but must be registered with AKC either through the breeder, the Purebred Alternative Listing or the mixed breed Canine Partners Program.  Participants can register their dog at the same time that they submit the approved evaluation to AKC, for a discounted fee.  Video evaluations:  $25 per title.
                 
                  Virtual Home Manners:  A ten part test evaluating your dog's skills at home.  There are two levels based on dog's
                                                        age: Puppy and Adult. Specifics are located here:  Virtual Home Manners Website
 
                  Trick Dog:  I evaluate three levels of trick dog titles:  Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.  In the Novice, the
                                    dog has to perform ten tricks from the list provided or if your dog has their CGC, perform 5. 
                                    Intermediate must earn the Novice title first, then perform tricks from the list provided and
                                    Advanced must have the Intermediate title then perform ten tricks from the Advanced list.
                                    Specifics and trick lists are located here:  Trick Dog Website.

Video Instruction Option

Don't have a need for a full class or a private session, just need some help with one or two subjects and are a visual learner? The "video only" option may be just what you need.  The first video purchase automatically includes a half hour "foundation" lesson video about the basics of training in addition to the subject of your choice.  Lesson videos average five to ten minutes in length and can be almost any subject:  specific commands, manners such as jumping and mouthiness, how to greet people and other dogs.....the subjects are limitless!  For those who would like to have feedback and ask questions, I also offer email and phone consultations as well.  Purchase includes video access for one week. 
             $25 for Foundation plus 1 lesson video
             $15 for additional lesson videos

Phone, Video or Email Consultation

Many problems and training can be discussed over the phone or via video submission.  Phone consultations are billed in 30 minute increments.  Video submissions will include a written training explanation and you can submit up to 3 videos however you can combine the two and submit videos to discuss via phone as well.  Please note not all behaviors can appropriately be addressed in a phone or video consultation but it is a place to start.
            $35 Per half hour block or per video set submission
