Puppy Training

Puppies begin learning at birth. Whether you are formally teaching them or not, they are learning about the environment and you. Allow us to assist you in raising the dog you want and need. We will help you build a healthy relationship and motivate your puppy to learn. We address everything puppy including potty training, crate training, building engagement, beginning obedience, mouthing, chewing, barking, and more. Now is the best time to teach your pup how to succeed and to stop unwanted behaviors before they become habits. 

Basic Skills Training

We will provide you with tools and techniques to teach your dog obedience behaviors, tricks, and other behaviors that match your individual goals. We work with you to build a healthy balanced relationship between you and your dog through motivation and clear communication. 

Behavior Modification

We have extensive experience with dogs who exhibit fear, reactivity, and aggression. We can also assist you and your dog in addressing unwanted behaviors and creating better habits. In these lessons we can work on a range of behavior issues including jumping, pulling on leash, reactivity, aggression, barking, digging, nipping, chewing, counter surfing, crate training, etc. Our goal is for you and your dog to enjoy every day together and our holistic approach helps your dog become more balanced, mentally and physically. 

Off Leash Control

One of our favorite things to do is explore the environment while our dogs enjoy the freedom to run and play off leash with the confidence that they will return to us when called. Allow us to teach you and your dog to enjoy this same freedom and enjoy the world as your playground with our off leash training. 

One-on-One Personalized Lessons

Our expert trainer will spend one hour one-on-one with you and your dog to create a plan and assist you in building skillsets to meet your individual goals. Lessons can take place at your home or other locations based on your goals and training needs. 

We offer an initial 1.5-2 hour consultation for $250. Continuing 1 hour lessons are $165 or a package of four 1 hour lessons is $600 

Virtual Lessons

Enjoy personalized one-on-one lessons from your online instructor in the privacy of your own home or while traveling. Our behavior expert will support you in building your skills and working with your dog to help accomplish your goals. 

We offer one a one-hour virtual lesson for $125 or a package of four lessons for $450.

Board and Train

     We offer the opportunity for your dog to come live with an expert trainer and work daily on your goals. Our program is small in order to give your dog individual attention. Allow us to build a strong on and/or off leash obedience foundation and/or address behavior issues in an ideal environment that allows your dog to create new behaviors more quickly with a skilled trainer. This allows us to identify which techniques and tools work best for your dog, make adjustments as needed, and gradually progress their training as they are ready. Our goal is to set your dog up for success as we gradually increase challenges and prepare them to continue their progress upon arriving home. We lay the foundation to make training easier on you and your dog and then work with you to build the skillsets and confidence you need to continue your dogs success.

Our Programs include one private lesson per week of stay in order to teach you what your dog has learned and how to keep up the progress.
