Programs are organized from foundational to advanced. Most dogs start at the beginning and move through in sequence, but we'll assess where your dog actually is and place them appropriately.
The socialization window closes between 12 and 16 weeks. What happens during that period shapes your dog's temperament for life. This program is built around that reality. We move fast with purpose, covering the behavioral foundations that create a confident, adaptable adult dog. Puppies who graduate this class are far better positioned for every other program they'll ever take.
This is the core program. The six behaviors we cover here sit, down, stay, come when called, loose-leash walking, and door manners are what you need every single day. We teach them properly, which means with duration, distance, and in the presence of distractions. By week six, these behaviors should function reliably in your daily environment, not just inside a training building.
Basic Obedience gets the foundations in place. Advanced Obedience makes them bulletproof. We add extended duration, longer distance, significant distractions, and real-world proofing in unpredictable environments. We also introduce more complex skills: go to place, front and finish, and off-leash control on long line. This is where solid handlers and dogs are made.
For dogs with reactivity, aggression toward dogs or people, resource guarding, separation anxiety, fear responses, or other significant behavioral concerns. This is not a group class. It's an individualized program that starts with a thorough behavior assessment, then builds a systematic protocol specifically for your dog's situation. Serious problems need serious attention.
Off-leash work isn't a trick. It's a skill set built on hundreds of repetitions of solid recall and impulse control in progressively challenging environments. This program is for dogs who have a solid Advanced Obedience foundation and handlers who are committed to the time it takes to do this right. We work on long lines, in parks, near distractions, and gradually toward reliable freedom.
Your dog stays with us and trains every day. This format works well for people with demanding schedules, dogs who need intensive behavior modification, or handlers who want an accelerated foundation laid before taking over. The key is what happens after pickup. We spend two full sessions teaching you the skills and reinforcement patterns so the training transfers to your daily life.
Group classes are priced per team (one dog, one primary handler). A second handler from the same household can observe at no charge. Private sessions include up to two handlers per session. All prices include handouts, training plans, and email support between sessions. We do not charge extra for follow-up questions.
Simple process. No surprises.
