Molli's Service Dog Academy Pricing
Service Dog Consultations - $75
I'll visit for 1-2 hours to meet you and your dog (or discuss finding a dog), perform a temperament test if desired, & provide general information and handouts. I'll also discuss your goals and needs, help you determine if I am the right trainer for you, and create a training plan.
Basic Temperament Testing - $50 + $15 for each additional dog/puppy
If you're trying to find the perfect dog for you or are wondering if your dog has what it takes to become a Service Dog, temperament testing can be incredibly insightful! Testing usually takes 20-30 minutes per dog. Note that Service Dog Training Consultations (above) include temperament testing if you already have a dog.
Advanced Temperament Test - $75 + $20 for each additional dog/puppy
This temperament test includes a hard copy of the test so that you can see exactly what the dog was tested on, what I was looking for on each individual test item, and how the dog scored on each one. Testing usually takes about 30-45 minutes per dog.
Service Dog Single Training Session - $100
Either at home or in public depending on your needs. Expect training to last 60-90 minutes.
Molli's Service Dog Academy Training Program - $340/pkg
This includes 4 sessions which can be used weekly or every other week. I'll visit you to work either at home or in public for 60-90 minutes, depending on your needs that day. We'll put together a custom training program based on your individual needs and move forward at you and your dog's pace. Training averages 18-24 months from start to finish. Molli's Service Dog Academy Test is included during your training days once you and your dog are ready.
Molli's Service Dog Academy Test - $150
The testing will be done both at home and in public and will include obedience and Task skills. It can take anywhere from 2-5 hours and may require 1-2 visits. Testing includes a Molli's Service Dog Academy certificate.
Annual Re-Testing: $100. This lets me verify that graduates are remaining active and are up-keeping the high standards required of Molli's Service Dog Academy teams. Testing includes an updated certificate.

Service Dog Group Outings - $15 to $25
Group outings are held every other Saturday at 3pm. Topics and locations will rotate. They are $15 per outing for anyone who has a current Academy Training Package or $25 for those who do not.
Travel Fee: $5 and up. Travel is included if you live or wish to train within 15 miles of me (use the University Mall as a reference to estimate). Unfortunately, due to high travel costs, I've had to add a travel fee of $5 for sessions 16-20 miles away. Add an additional $5 per session for each 5 mile increment after that. If you'd like to reduce or eliminate this fee, you are welcome to come to me or meet me at a local park.
Please note that I do not employ the use of e-collars, prong collars, or choke chains. The top Service Dog organizations agree that dogs that require the use of stronger corrections, a heavy hand in order to handle, that have high drives, or that require the use of such tools in order to focus or keep attention on their handler do not have a desirable temperament in order to be a Service Dog. Service Dogs require very soft temperaments and should have a natural sensitivity towards people. They should not require the use of tools in order to gain or maintain their attention onto their handlers. Because of this, along with several other reasons, the use of any of these devices will result in failure of the dog from my program and/or stripping of the Molli Dogs' "Outstanding Service Dog Team" certificate. It will also disqualify you and your dog from taking the Molli Dogs' Outstanding Service Dog Test.
