Training Options:
In-Home Consultations
Consultations are required for all training listed below, except group classes. Consultations let our trainer see and experience the behavior issues or concerns you are experiencing in the dog’s own environment. During the consultation, your trainer will observe behaviors, get your feedback on what you would like to change, and design a Game Plan to help you and your pup achieve success! Consultations take between 30-60 minutes and in most cases training can start the same day!
Private In-Home Obedience
Perfect for the dog that is too nervous and distracted to sit through an hour long group class in a strange environment. Private Obedience lessons can be custom tailored to the behaviors most important to you and your dog. Lessons covered: sit, down, stay, come, loose leash walking, go to place, heel/working walk, tricks/relationship building. Since each lesson plan is custom the optimum number of sessions will be discussed at your in home consultation and will vary with your ability to practice between sessions. In general the minimum number of lessons required will be 4. Sessions run for 30 minutes.
In-Home Behavior Modification
For more intensive behavior problems such as food guarding, on leash reactivity, dog aggression, or aggression towards humans. Behavior modification requires our trainer to first work and condition the dog over several sessions before handing the reins back to the owner to continue training and rehabilitation. Sessions run for 1 hour.
Training Camp
Have a pesky behavior problem, but don't have time to work it out at home? Let our trainer work with your pup at Camp and get a jump start in the right direction. Available with either boarding or daycare, training features two 15-20 minute sessions throughout each day your dog is at Camp. Requires a consultation and the length of training camp will vary for the behaviors you wish to modify, which will be discussed during your consultation.
Group Class Schedule
Class size is limited, so please call early to book! Classes are held at our satellite training facility located just a few minutes from Camp.
