PRIVATE LESSONS

Our private lessons bring the trainer directly to you, providing personalized guidance on training your dog. Each session lasts about an hour and is ideally scheduled weekly or biweekly to maintain steady progress.

During these lessons, you'll learn effective techniques to teach your dog commands and address behavioral challenges, helping shape your dog into their Best Behavior. Additionally, tailored homework assignments will be provided after each session, ensuring consistent practice and improvement between lessons.

BOARD & TRAINS

Our most popular service, the Board and Train program, provides an accelerated training experience for both dogs and their owners. During this program, your dog will live full-time in the trainer’s home (not a kennel facility) for a minimum of two weeks, receiving personalized care and expert guidance.

While in the trainer’s care, your dog will master essential commands and behaviors tailored to your specific goals. Beyond structured training, your dog may also enjoy activities like playgroups with other dogs, walks, and exciting field trips to parks and stores, enhancing their training experience and making it fun and enriching.

Once the boarding phase is complete, the trainer will personally bring your dog home, marking the start of the private lessons phase. We believe your involvement is crucial to long-term success, which is why every Board and Train program includes at least two private lessons. These sessions ensure a seamless transition by teaching you how to effectively communicate with your dog, integrate their new skills into your routine, and maintain their Best Behavior.
