*For all traveling services, $10 will be added for every 5 minutes over the initial 20 minutes in drive time per session. Price per session will be double or triple the session rate, depending on distance, if the client is over 35 minutes from the trainer.
**Due to the nature and complexity of people related dog aggression, it will be at the sole discretion of LIFE Dog Training to refuse training cases that are deemed to be best suited for a trainer that specializes in such cases. This is in part because aggression cases require specific resources that Life Dog Training may not have access to at this time.
