Don’t wait for a problem to develop. Don’t wait until you are out of patience. Begin training early, with our comprehensive programs to help you avoid potential conflict.
Ways to Train with us
Stay & Train
starting at $600
Our Stay & Train (Day Train) program is a Done-for-You (DFY) styled program. Your dog enjoys working one-on-one with a Trainer to learn important puppy skills, both around the home environment, and while adventuring for training field trips.
The Trainer handles most of the training work for you! During the program you will have several opportunities to learn how to implement your pup's new skills. Including you in the learning process empowers you to maintain the training.
​
This intensive, DFY program is designed to help extend support to the busy puppy parent who simply does not have the time, energy, or skills to tackle this important development on their own or through regular lessons. And one of the best benefits to our Day Train? We come to you! So your puppy get to learn these valuable life skills in their everyday environment. And no need to miss your dog for weeks at a time, since they reside in your home during their training program.
​
Private Lessons
starting at $455
Our Private Lesson Program is a DIY training solution, offering one-on-one personalized training and support. Your Trainer becomes your training partner, coach, and mentor.
​
This program will begin in the home and transition to training field trips during the course, if age appropriate.
By teaching you and your dog how to learn together, you are involved in every step of their learning process. And have your Trainer to help show you the way.
​
We will demonstrate skills and provide constructive feedback as you practice, so you feel confident with your homework. During the program, we will be available to help you troubleshoot and answer questions to keep the learning moving at the right pace for you and your dog.
Using our step-by-step teaching guides, you will have resources to help you with your practice in between the Trainer led lessons.
Puppy Orientation Lesson
$165
Our Puppy Orientation Lesson is a perfect introductory session!
​
In this working session, we will spend about 2 - 2.5 hours with you and your puppy to answer questions, help you prioritize training needs, and problem solve current issues.
​
We will provide digital guides and a general training plan for your puppy so you know what to do next.
​
If you would like to add on essential equipment or a hardcopy of our puppy training guides, journals, and checklists, these are available as add-ons to your consult.
​
After the consult, we will provide you with a training plan and review of topics covered in the session. If you want to enroll in a more comprehensive training program, we are here to help you continue the work!
Prefer to go all in on your own?
We have Online Training Solutions too!
