Imagine your dog (yes, even your wild, crazy dog) calmly greeting guests, no paws flying or slipping through door as people walk inside. Calm neighborhood walks without a tight leash cutting into your hand. Even your dog, hanging out while you grab drinks at an outdoor patio with friends or joining you (and not a passing squirrel) for a hike. This signature training program is an immersive, results based training plan tailored to your training goals and your dogs needs to best bring out their full potential.
A note regarding private lessons
Very few problem behaviors or skills can be addressed or taught in one hour. Good training requires a thorough foundation as well as an understanding of what and why we’re teaching the way we do. For this reason, I generally do not offer individual lessons except for dogs who have already completed a training program. I am dedicated to the long term success of each dog that I work with and do not want to leave you with tips or bandaid solutions that may even temporarily solve your problems.
Successful training requires not only teaching our dogs, but challenging their skills in new environments, then guiding them toward good choices independently and habitually long term.
I offer results based training programs that give you a thorough understanding of how to connect with your dog. Not only getting the obedience results that you need to manage your dog in every day situations, but to teach your dog how to exist in a calm and confident mindset for long term success.
This training is available through either a course of private lessons or an immersive in board stay depending on your dog’s needs and your goals. Individual lessons are offered on a case by case basis, my availability is limited and my focus is prioritized toward people looking to set their dogs up for a lifetime of not just fitting in, but excelling in our world.
During this program, your dog will learn:
Come (Even off leash, with distractions)
Heel + Loose Leash Walking
Sit + Stay
Down + Stay
Place
Off + No
Individual problem behaviors and behavior modification can be addressed within this program
This program includes:
Any necessary training supplies
Twice weekly in home or on location lessons to train where you need your dog to behave- no more “but my dog is perfect at the training facility!”
Access to regular group training outings following your dog’s graduation to keep their skills sharp
All training programs start with an in-person evaluation.
This gives me a chance to get to know your dog — their personality, food motivation, play style, and overall behavior — so I can recommend the best training plan. It also gives both of us a chance to make sure we’re a good fit. I work with owners who are ready to commit to real progress and a building a lasting line of communication with their dog. During this session, I’ll walk you through how the training process works and what you can expect moving forward.
