Online training sessions can be done as part or all of your training program. Online sessions offer the same level of support and expertise as in-person sessions. Best of all, nearly anything we can do in-person, we can do online. (We'll let you know if that's not the case.)

Virtual Training offers more flexibility in scheduling, and has the added bonus of being able to record your sessions for reference later.

How it Works:

  • You'll receive a link to your Zoom meeting shortly before your session, via email.

  • It doesn't require you to download anything. 

  • You can record as much of the session as you like, or wait for recording of the session to be made available for you.

  • Here's a short video from a colleague on how to use Zoom.

  • If you are more comfortable using Skype or FaceTime, let us know!

  • For more on how to use Zoom, check out our Tips for Success here

Prep Work- Here's what to have ready for your online session:

  • Small, pea-sized treats. We recommend a mix of kibble taken from their daily meals, a small handful of moderate value treats like PetBotanics or Zuke’s training treats, and a small amount of high value treats like freeze dried liver. You’ll need about 3/4 cup, or 100 pieces in all (this will vary based on age, size, and personality of your dog).

  • A bag to hold those treats- preferably one worn at your waist, that can be easily moved around if needed, like this budget friendly option, or our personal favorite.

  • Good lighting! Things go best when I can see you and your dog well.

  • A rough idea of where you can be seen on your camera. 

  • Headphones available in case of echo.

  • Have a pen and paper or laptop handy to jot down notes.

Payment

  • Unless previously arranged, payment is due ahead of classes. Payments are taken online when you register for your session(s).

  • There are no refunds. In some cases, refunds may be given at the discretion of Pawsitive Pooch (Life happens!)

Rescheduling

  • Classes:

    • We offer one makeup class per 6 week session, on a limited basis, within the 4 - 6 week period your classes are scheduled.

  • Private Sessions:

    • Cancellations/reschedules with less than 24 hours' notice are subject to forfeiture of your session. (This does not include cancellations due to illness.)

  • If we must reschedule, we will let you know as early as possible and provide the soonest available sessions to reschedule. Your time is valuable, too! Cancellations within 24 hours of your session will be notified via email or phone. Cancellations with more than 24 hours notice will be notified via email.

  • Private Sessions are good for four months from the purchase date. Group Sessions are valid for the timeblock you register for.
