Skype Consultations
I am now offering consultations via Skype. This is a great way to work with distance if you wish to work with me. Do remember, I live in the Pacific Northwest, so I am in Pacific Standard Time. If you wish to schedule a Skype consult with me for a brief time I am offering them at half my normal consultation cost while we work out the kinks in the new system. As such, there are no package deals being offered currently with my Skype consultations. The advantage is, we can use my dogs, both Max and Malcolm, as demo dogs for different behaviors and I can watch to see your techniques with your dogs. This is a great opportunity. All consultation fees are to be pre-paid prior to the appointment. This can be done via check in mail or PayPal.
Cost: $30 (limited time only)
* We have a no refund policy.
Evaluations:
If a client has a dog they wish to train to be a service dog it must be evaluated and approved before Tao Service Dogs will accept it. The evaluation tests the dog's basic temperament and potential to become a service dog, but does not ensure the dog will succeed. Puppies under 6 months of age can begin lessons and will be evaluated as the training progresses.
Cost: $60
* We have a no refund policy.
* Must Pre-Pay before Evaluation Date
* Payment by credit cards can be accepted at an minimal additional charge.
