Private Training
A well-behaved, trained dog is a pleasure to own because he can go virtually anywhere without being a risk or nuisance to others. Working with your dog not only teaches your pet how to be a happy, healthy member of the family, it also helps you learn more about your companion. Whether you are just looking for the basics or have more challenges that will require intensive behavior modification through one-on-one training, we will give you the tools you need. Your dog will
learn to look at you for guidance and you will learn how to set your dog up for success with proper guidance, rules and
consistency.
At Blue Creek Canine we use proven, positive, reward-based methods to teach your dog to be a well-mannered companion. We address everyday issues such a digging, barking, jumping, uncontrolled greeting, pulling on leash, recall, self control, basic house manners, puppy foundation as well as more severe behavioral issues as dog/dog aggression and resource guarding.
As of October 2015, Blue Creek Canine is the only presenter and dog training business with Family Paws Parenting Education in Montana, adding a specialty to support new and expecting families with dogs. The ultimate goal of the organization is to increase the safety of children, the success of dogs in homes with children and decrease the number of dogs surrendered to shelters due to easily preventable problems and conflicts.
The following program rates are for appointments located in Billings. If you live outside Billings, please expect an additional mileage fee of 50 cent per mile (The standard mileage rate for Montana, issued by IRS is 57.5 cents per mile for business miles driven )

IN-HOME EVALUATION - currently not available due to covid19 guidelines
First in-home lesson is 90-120 minutes, including email support with training resources and training plan and a shorter follow up visit. Cost is only $159.
This will allow me enough time to observe and evaluate your dog, see how your dog interacts and responds to you and how your dog engages and reacts to a stranger (me) in the home. We will talk about the current unwanted behaviors and what might trigger them. Based on this evaluation, I will give you recommendation on how to address the issues as well as provide you with an individualized training and/or behavior modification plan. And at a set date and time, I will follow up with an additional in-home visit to support you and your dog.
