A Super Session is for when you need help and, honestly, you needed it yesterday.

It is an in-home immersion designed to give you real answers, real coaching, and real tools right now — not three weeks from now after everybody has overthought the problem and the dog has had another 47 rehearsals doing the wrong thing.

Depending on the dog, the breed, the issues, and the location, a Super Session is usually 90 minutes to 2.5 hours of focused work in your real environment, where the patterns are happening and where the triggers actually live.

It is part triage, part strategy, part hands-on coaching, and part practical installation of the right structure so you can finally stop guessing and start making progress.

Quite a bit, which is one reason people like them.

Super Sessions can cover leash manners, potty training, puppy structure, crate training, jumping, door manners, over-arousal, impulse control, confidence issues, early reactivity foundations, fear-based issues, and in some cases the first steps of aggression-related work.

It always depends on the dog in front of me, your goals, your experience level, and how much needs to be unpacked. A smaller puppy that needs structure, leash basics, and potty training is very different from a dog dealing with fear, reactivity, confidence issues, and front-door chaos.

Training starts right away.

Yes, we may spend a few minutes at the kitchen table signing the agreement and quickly confirming goals, but you should already have received both a text and an email with instructions for the day before and the day of your Super Session.

In other words, the runway is already built before I knock on the door. Once I arrive, we get organized fast and begin working based on your goals, your dog, your breed, and the issue in front of us.

First, your dog should be hungry. Dogs generally work better before meals, not after they have just enjoyed brunch and are now spiritually unavailable.

You should also have:

• a collar and leash
• high-value treats your dog goes crazy for
• any current gear you are already using
• a place bed if you have one, though it is not always required

If you are not sure what counts as high-value, ask me. Also, please review the instructions I sent you for the day before and the day of the session, because that helps everything run a lot more smoothly.

You do not need to train for an hour a day while dressed like a camp counselor for dogs.

What I do need is consistency. Even 5 minutes before feeding, two or three times a day, can move the needle when you are doing the right reps. If you feed twice a day, there is usually enough room to practice before those meals. If you feed three times a day, even better.

Dogs learn best when the work is clear, short, repeatable, and tied to structure. I will show you what to do. Your job is to actually do it.

You do not “leave with” anything because this is in-home dog training, not a conference swag bag.

What you get is expert instruction, hands-on coaching, clearer structure, and access to the systems we are putting in place.

That may include your Super Session e-learning portal, management rules, timing, reps, marker word training, games, the five-minute rule, Nothing in Life Is Free concepts, door manners, leash foundations, place training, and the specific structures that fit your dog and your issue.

Because Super Sessions can cover a wide variety of cases, the portal is designed to give you access to the education that supports that variety. And yes, that is worth a lot. I do not print books anymore. Instead, you get lifetime access to the portal materials connected to your work, and those materials are continually updated over time.

You can review them, print what you need, save what matters, and come back to them later instead of trying to remember what I said while your dog is doing parkour off the couch.

Because dogs, people, issues, locations, and drive times are not all the same.

A 90-minute Super Session may be perfect for a smaller puppy, a straightforward potty-training case, a leash-manners brush-up, or a family that mostly needs structure, clarity, and the right early reps.

A 2.5-hour immersion is usually a better fit when there is more going on — fear, aggression, separation anxiety, major confidence issues, crate training plus leash work plus potty training, or a dog that needs a much more thorough unpacking.

Travel time matters too. A session fifteen minutes away is different from a session that requires a long drive. I do both. That is one reason the range exists.

Sometimes one Super Session is enough to create a major shift and give people the structure they needed all along. Sometimes people need two. Sometimes the dog and the issues are telling us that a bigger program makes more sense.

I do not usually recommend bigger programs like a Behavior Reset until I have done a Super Session first. That gives me a much more honest look at the dog, the home, the humans, the patterns, and what kind of support is actually needed.

Because dog training is connected.

If your dog jumps on guests, we may need to teach place, sit, and stay before we start adding real distractions. If your dog is reactive on leash, we usually need to build engagement with you before we put the dog back into the exact situation where it keeps failing.

Leash work often starts inside the home. Door manners often start before the door opens. Confidence work is different from potty work. Aggression work is different from puppy structure.

The point is: we train the dog in front of us, not the fantasy version of the problem.

Pricing depends on several things: the breed, the issues, the complexity of the case, the amount of time needed, and my travel time.

A smaller puppy with a more straightforward issue is not the same as a dog with fear, aggression, separation anxiety, or multiple layered problems. That is why there is a range. It is not random. It is based on what the case actually requires.

Also, in-home dog training includes more than just the time I am standing in your living room. There is drive time, gas, car maintenance, prep, follow-up, portal access, years of built educational content, and yes, taxes — all the glamorous things nobody puts on an inspirational mug.

My goal is not to nickel-and-dime people. My goal is to give you serious help, in the real world, with real support behind it.
