Private Dog Behavior Consultations with Grisha Stewart, MA, CPDT-KA, CTP
"I never hesitate to refer clients to Ahimsa Dog Training. Grisha knows the science of training and she knows how to get it across to people and their dogs. I have worked side by side with Grisha on many projects, and I respect her as a person and as an educator."
- Terry Ryan, CPDT-KA, CTP, Author of "Coaching People to Train Their Dogs," "Outwitting Dogs," "The Bark Stops Here," and more.
"Grisha helped me understand some about the nature of the changes we have asked Roxy to make --- what she’s likely to learn quickly, what will take her a while, when and how Bill and I need to change. Having an intelligent shy working dog in our lives is different from what it was like with our other dogs, but I can wholeheartedly say that it’s good and interesting, and it means Bill, Roxy and I have a common bond in the true joy of learning. Thank you Grisha. We couldn’t have gotten this far without you."

About the Sessions:
Initial and follow-up behavior consultations with Grisha are $199 for sessions up to 90 minutes, to be paid in advance by credit card. You may also purchase a block of 5 sessions for $749 (save $250). Any unused sessions can be refunded. Click here for our cancellation/change policy.
After you sign up for a session, you will have the chance to complete a comprehensive history questionnaire for Grisha to read in advance of the session. That way, she can get right to work helping you and your dog have a better future, rather than spending the whole time learning about the past. This saves you time and money. During the session, Grisha will ask you some additional questions during the first portion to get a complete picture of your dog's issue(s). After that, she will teach you how to use the most appropriate, modern, dog-friendly techniques, based on what is the best fit for your dog and your family. She will also give you a written follow-up email to review the topics covered during the session.
When you register, your confirmation email will also include login information, so that you can log in to change your schedule.
Location:
SATURDAY - Seattle: Your home, Green Lake, or at some other location in Seattle. SUNDAY - Edmonds or Shoreline: Your home, Interurban trail, or elsewhere in Edmonds or Shoreline.
For off-site sessions, total travel time over 20 minutes (round trip from Ahimsa) will be subtracted from the session time.
We also have a Growly Dog class in Seattle for aggression and reactivity to other dogs. If your dog is reactive to humans, you definitely need a private session, rather than the class. Please call 206-364-4072 or email info@doggiezen.com to help you find the best training option for your dog.
We also offer in-home dog training sessions in Seattle with Carly Davis for basic skills training and 'regular' behavior problems (housetraining, digging, chewing, jumping, etc.).
