WALKS

Individual Walk and Train Session: $55

1-1.5 hours of fast-paced walking with mental stimulation and basic leash training. This is the first step to get your dog enrolled in our Pack Walk service option as we cover the basic fundamentals and teach the behavior we want from them when walking individually. We can then build on this to teach the behavior we want while walking with The Pack.

Please allow 30 min for transport as we walk on “On Leash Only” Trails and take advantage of our beautiful surroundings to provide many different learning experiences for your fur baby as well as cool shade in the summer months.

“Sniff and See and Take a Pee”: $35

This is a non training shorter walk (30-45 min) for busy dog parents that are away all day and want a trusted professional to take their fur babies out to do their business, get some steps in and smell the roses. This service is for dogs who are alone for longer periods of time than they should hold “it” for and that have good leash manners (we are happy to provide basic leash training if needed). This is more of a leisurely stroll to smell the daily news and do their business as opposed to the fast-paced walk covering a lot of ground with training that is provided during our “Individual Walk and Train” Service.

Pack Walks: $45

We will pick up your fur baby between 9-10 am and return them home between 1-2 pm. These walks will provide A LOT of exercise, as we will be covering over 5 miles per day. Your fur baby will be tired at the end of their day as they will be given a “job” and provided A LOT of mental stimulation and socialization. Pack Walks are structured so that the Pack works together on our adventures. Each dog has a separate and unique relationship with the Pack Leader, which is crucial for the dog in trusting the Pack Leader to protect it, making the correct decisions through positive reinforcement, and having full confidence in following the Pack Leader.

*All dogs must complete an introductory period with individual walk and train sessions that will establish the basic fundamentals. During this time we will assess if they would benefit from and enjoy the Pack Walk. It is important to note that the Pack Walk is not for all dogs temperaments and personalities. Some dogs need more space and have individual needs that must be met for success. Once we determine that your fur baby will benefit from a Pack Walk Setting we will schedule specific walks that will give the dog a chance to acclimate to the pack and the strenuous routine.

This may be too much physical activity for some dogs so we do offer half days for $30.

Note: enrollees are required to walk with the pack at least once a week in order to maintain the balance of the pack, keep up on the routine, and maintain expected behavior.

* ALL WALKS ARE ON-LEASH ONLY.
* FOR THEIR SAFETY, WE WILL NEVER ALLOW YOUR DOG TO BE OFF LEASH.
* ALL DOGS MUST BE UP TO DATE ON VACCINATIONS AND FLEA TREATMENT
* ALL DOG OVER SIX MONTHS OF AGE MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SANTA CRUZ COUNTY LAW

Training and Behavior Consultation Sessions

Training Sessions
$75 – approximately 1 hour.
This service is great for younger dogs, dogs that need to brush up on basic fundamentals, or simply owners that are struggling to get the results they are hoping for.

Training sessions can range from basic obedience training to improving trouble areas you are experiencing in your personal pack at home.
It is very important for all pack members in the household to follow through on training techniques that are introduced in these sessions in order for the behavior to become permanent.

Behavior Consultation Sessions
$150 – approximately 2 hours.
This service is designed to work on implementing specific changes in your dog’s daily routine and environment using dog psychology techniques to help set them up for success. This service is designed to work on specific trouble areas such as begging, jumping up on people, not staying in a designated place when asked, barking, guarding, reacting when people come over, and is more intensely focused on frustrating and problematic situations you are experiencing in your home.

Behavior Consultation is a great option for people who are seeing warning signs in their dog’s behavior that they want to improve before it’s too late. In these sessions we work with all the pack members of your household to make sure everyone is on the same page so that great results are achieved and made permanent.

Overnight Care

$75 / night

$50 for additional dog(s)

Your fur-baby will be so much happier staying in their own home while you are away for travel or work. Rather than board at an unfamiliar, loud and hectic facility that stresses most dogs out, this option allows for your “Pawsitive K9” to stay in the comfort of their own home with familiar smells and surroundings as well as maintain their normal daily routine. Your mail will be brought in, you will have someone home with the lights on at night which deters potential burglars and helps puts your mind at ease so that you can focus on and enjoy your time away.

In Home Board and Train

Pawsitive K9’s offers specifically customized “Board And Train” packages. This service is personalized to address the exact needs of the client and the problematic areas they are having with their dogs in their daily lives. Instead of sending your dog off for training while you are away, have us implement a new structure and routine in the same conditions and surroundings it will be used in on a daily basis. As our customers have said, “It’s like doggie boot camp coming to you”. We follow up with personalized training sessions to ensure the changes made remain permanent and we are always available for fine tuning these skills down the road. Please contact us directly regarding pricing for this service as each package is personally customized for every client.

Holiday rates are available, but we do book up fast so please make your reservations well in advance

For services outside the City of Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley, Capitola and Soquel rates will be an additional $10 due to the increased fuel and travel time.
