Puppy life skills

- For puppies age 8 weeks - 20 weeks.

Start your journey with your new puppy off with all the tools you'll need to begin a lifetime of success together.

Work together with your puppy to learn that training is fun! One-on-one sessions will help you achieve successful house training, avoid destructive chewing, encourage calmness in the home, and teach manners. Boost their confidence, and shape them to be optimistic about the world around them. Learn name recognition, and give them a positive foundation in walking politely on leash, greeting both people and dogs appropriately, sit, down, and come when called. 

BASIC TRAINING - PRIVATE LESSONS.

- For dogs 6 months of age and older

Basic training through Private Lessons is a 5-week on-leash course that puts you in control of your dog's learning. One-on-one lessons once every week teach you how to guide your dog through the learning process. Then you teach them throughout the week without shutting them down, but by building them up and setting them up for success. 

You will learn how to teach your dog to Heel, Sit (with stay), Down (with stay), Down from a distance, come when called, and "go to place." Lessons are adapted for each dog and handler team to ensure that both you and your dog get the most out of your classes.

Stuck on something between lessons? Help is always just a phone call, text message, or email away if you find yourself "stuck."

BASIC TRAINING - Board & Train

-For dogs 6 months of age and older

Having a well-trained dog is a goal most people have for their dogs. Maybe you just don't have the time to dedicate in the beginning to achieve the results you want. Maybe your dog's personality is proving to be a bit more difficult than you were expecting. Boot camp training could be the solution to help you get to where you want to be with your dog.

Board & Train is a 3-week program. Your dog would come to stay at my house 4 days each week, typically Monday-Thursday, you get a lesson at the end of each week to learn what they learned, and they would come home for the weekends. In this program, I put in all the work doing several sessions every day to teach them the commands and all you have to do is keep up with it at home when we’re done.
