Services

Private Lessons
Private Lessons are geared for clients who need help with a specific problem or who want to train their dog themselves. A private lesson is composed of your family, your dog, and a trainer. If you are seeking advice for a specific problem, the trainer may set up situations to work with your dog, offer recommendations, and show you how to continue to work on your problems on your own. If you are a client
wanting to train your dog yourself but feel that you need some help, the lesson will consist of an entire workout for your dog where a trainer will instruct you through the process. Each lesson will end with "homework" for you to work with your dog on your own time.

 

 Residency Programs
Residency programs incorporate on-leash, off-leash, and behavior modification. These programs are designed for efficiency. Your dog will board with us and a trainer will train the dog for you. Each program includes a series of follow-up lessons where the trainer shows you how to work with your newly trained dog. Any of the programs may be combined with a series of private lessons to accomplish specific goals you may have for your dog.
 

  • On-Leash programs are offered in three varying levels of training. Each level offers a unique training program for your individual dog and situation. You may upgrade at anytime to a higher level of on-leash obedience. Each level offers an increasing amount of commands. Working your dog around distractions is a key aspect of our training. We want you to succeed in real-life situations with your dog. 
  • Off-leash programs are offered once your dog has completed the highest level of on-leash training, either through residency, private lessons, or a combination of both. The first level gives you the ability to appropriately handle your dog off-leash indoors and outside in enclosed areas. The second level incorporates the first, taking the training further to off-leash in open areas. Reliability is key here, so your dog will be pushed around numerous distractions to help you transition to this level of training.
  • Behavior Modification includes two levels of modification. The first program is geared for dogs lacking socialization and confidence around unfamiliar people, places, or things. The second program includes aspects of socialization, confidence building, and aggression towards people and/or animals. These programs help your dog overcome its current behavior limitations and give you the ability to correctly handle real-life situations with your dog.
