one on one classes
6 session package
This program is perfect for dogs of any age, starting from 4 months old, who are looking to learn basic obedience and become well-mannered while on a leash. Additionally, we can help address minor behavioral issues* in this program, such as separation anxiety, resource guarding, and dog reactivity.
This program is ideal for dog owners who want to enhance their training by utilizing e-collar techniques to achieve off-leash reliability. It is also suitable for dogs facing more serious behavioral issues*, such as dog aggression, confidence building, or human reactivity. Our goal is to help rewire your dog's responses and reset their mindset. This process requires time, repetition, and patience, which is why we recommend a dedicated program for it.

* it is at the TRAINERS discretion to decide what is considered a “more serious behavioral issues” and will be determined at an evaluation
We are here to help establish a strong foundation for your dog. During our board-and-train program, your dog will stay in the trainer’s home and be treated as part of the family. To ensure each dog receives the highest level of care, we limit the number of dogs to 2-3 at a time. All dogs must be crate trained before entering this program.
The Board & Train program is an excellent option for busy owners or dogs needing extra support. A few weeks away from your dog can help reset your relationship and break bad habits. While your dog is with us, we will handle all the teaching and focus on developing healthier habits, promoting neutrality, and fostering a better mindset.
However, your work is not done once your dog graduates. You will be responsible for maintaining the progress and holding them accountable to their new expectations. Fortunately, we offer a send-home class where we will teach you everything we’ve worked on with your dog. Additionally, we include a full year of FREE follow-up classes to ensure your success with your dog!
