Training Services


Board & Train


​Our Board & Train is an intensive training package that entails your dog coming over to live in my home and train in a loving, comfortable, and safe environment around real life situations and needs. 

This allows the training to transfer much more effectively to your home as opposed to a facility training program because we are already training around normal day to day activities such as doing laundry, cooking, guests, trash cans, doorbell ringing etc. instead of an empty room. 

With this type of training they are also able to have playtime with the other dogs while they are here for great safe socializing as well as work alongside them to practice their cues around distractions. They also get the in home privileges of being able to cuddle during a movie with me or simply be out and around the home with more freedom as their training progresses to mirror the ideal home experience as much as possible. (We do not recommend or utilize dog parks for socializing as you cannot control the other dogs and would not necessarily know if they are vaccinated, safety first!) 

These packages range from 2-6 weeks long. Typical recommendation for new puppies is 3-4 weeks. Recommended package lengths will vary depending on the training goals as each package is specific to you and your dogs needs. You are welcome to come visit while they are over as well.

​For Puppies -
A Board & Train package is a wonderful option for a new addition who is in need of a great first start. 
Potty training, mouthing/biting, chewing, crate training, as well as foundation cues such as sit, down, leave-it, drop-it, come when called, wait, look and others. Included safe socializing with dogs, humans, and outings to see new places, smells and noises. These are all vital requirements for a balanced and happy dog for life. A Board and Train is a great way to start them off on the right paw!
​Contact Us for booking requirements and availability for puppies. 

For Adult Dogs-​
A Board & Train package is not only for the little guys! This is a great training route for a possibly more mature rescue dog who didn't quite get the chance to learn their manners when they were young or simply for any dog who needs a refresher in their training. Each package is tailored to you and your dogs needs, we focus on what is most important and beneficial to you and your dog's happiness. Package recommendations will vary on details of training goals.

FAQ

Q: "Will they listen to me if you do the training there?" 
A: Yes, that is the benefit of positive reinforcement & marker training. They are learning the actual cues to respond to instead of only to fear a single person. They are already conditioned to listen to more than a single person when they return home through socializing. There are directions we go through to ensure that the training transfers home. Directions for the first few days, first week, first month to follow and private sessions included to follow up together on to ensure you are comfortable and confident in applying the training once they return home. ​

Private Training


Meet with a trainer directly in the comfort of your own home!  From the very start to include potty training up to advanced cues or behavior modification, we will work one on one with you and your dog for your specific needs. We would typically meet an hour at a time each week or bi weekly. 

We will go over behaviors each week & practice together. Typically there are homework sheets sent out after the session for you to refer to between sessions to practice.

These are great for owners who love to be hands on & have the time to do so as it is up to the family to practice between each session to see progress. These can be worked on out and about for socializing and training around distractions as well. 

These sessions come in packages, contact us for more info on which would work best for you.

​We typically recommend starting off with an Evaluation Session to get started & see what's best for you & your dog. 

$40 Evaluation Online - 1hr and a half session via private video call.
