Consultation.and.Programs

Fees.

Initial Phone Consult:
     This 15 minute consultation is to decide if CAPS is the right resource
     for you.
Initial Phone Consult:
     First 15-min. free.      
     $100/hour thereafter.
Initial Home Visit: 
     Initial home visits last from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the problem.  
     We evaluate the problem, design a behavior modification plan, and
     practice the plan with you.
Initial Home Visit:     
     $100/hour.
Follow-up Visits:
     Follow-up visits are on an as-needed basis.  We help you help your
     pet.  We do not rehabilitate the pet for you.  One month after the
     initial visit, we ask that you follow up by phone or email. At that
     time, a joint decision is made whether to schedule a follow-up visit.
Follow-Up Visits:         
      $100/hour
Three or Five Hour Contract Options: 
     For some problems, we recommend  a 3-hour, or 5-hour, multiple visit
     contract.  Contracts have slightly reduced fees.  If a consult lasts more
     hours than specified in a contract, the client pays for additional time
     (at contract rates). 
 
     Clients can elect not to have a contract.  Our goal is to help you help
     your pet, not lock you into an unwanted obligation.
Three Hour Contract:    
     $285/contract
 
 
 
 
Five Hour Contract:      
     $450/contract
Consult Location:  
     At this time, only in-home visits are available.  
     Animals are their most natural in their home environment.  
     This provides the best opportunity for success.
Mileage:
     50¢/mile roundtrip,
     (calculated from the
     nearest major city
     in which I work)
At this time we are unable to accept credit cards.
Cash or Checks only, please.

We reserve the right to terminate any client relationship if, in our opinion, we are unable to help further, or the client is unwilling or unable to comply with the behavior modification recommendations provided.  At such times, if possible, we will recommend other resources.
All clients must sign an informed consent/indemnity waiver before consultation begins.
 
All clients must recognize that, due to the nature of animal behavior, no consultation comes with guaranteed results, neither explicitly stated nor implied.  We will do our best for you, and there are usually alternative plans we can try, but sucess is not guaranteed.
