YOUR PRO DOG TRAINER, LLC

What YOUR PRO DOG TRAINER, LLC does

YOUR PRO DOG TRAINER, LLC is a family-operated, direct-to-consumer dog training and canine behavior consulting business headquartered in Visalia, California, serving the Central Valley region (Fresno, Visalia, Bakersfield, Tulare and Fresno Counties) with selected virtual services offered worldwide. The company is run by Founder & Owner Rebecca Corso, who holds a Masters degree in Zoology and four advanced certifications (CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, IAABC Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, and Cooperative Paws Service Dog Coach), alongside her husband Matthew Corso and their three children, supported by a small team of certified professional dog trainers (total headcount of 5). Service delivery relies entirely on hands-on, positive-reinforcement behavioral science methods, including formal Puppy Culture protocols for early socialization and fear-period handling, with no software or AI components.

The product portfolio is built around three core offerings: an Initial Consultation ($200, required for new local clients), Private In-Home Training ($150/hr follow-ups), and a multi-week Board & Train program at a 7-acre private training facility with tiered pricing of $1,750 (1 week), $3,500 (2 weeks), $5,000 (4 weeks, most popular), and $9,500 (8 weeks). Specialized add-ons include a Young Puppy Board & Train following Puppy Culture protocols, a premium White Glove Puppy service (limited capacity, case-by-case acceptance) where puppies live in the founder's home, and Drop-Off Day Training at $250/day. Worldwide Virtual Consultations via FaceTime/Skype extend reach beyond the physical service area.

The business model is a pure one-time-fee services model with no recurring contracts, subscriptions, or licensing. Customers are individual dog owners segmented primarily into puppy owners, owners facing behavior issues (aggression, anxiety), and busy professionals needing intensive Board & Train. Direct marketing is conducted through the company website (yourprodogtrainer.com), Facebook, Instagram, blog content, and phone/email inquiry channels. Effective April 1, 2019, the company exited direct service dog training and now refers such inquiries to California Service Dog Academy (CSDA), a separate non-profit 501(c)(3) also founded by the Corsos in 2018. The company has no outside investors, no funding rounds, no patents, and no public-market listing.
