How Does it Work?

Day Training

We come to your home and work one-on-one with your dog.  You can observe the training sessions, or not, as you prefer.  You do not have to learn how to train your dog how to do the new behaviors - we do that for you.  This saves you a lot of work, and lets us get fast, efficient results.

We'll begin with an initial in-home consultation to get to the bottom of what's happening, make a clear assessment, consider the options, and help you decide on how you'd like to proceed.  We will help you define training goals and give you an estimate of the training commitment needed to get results.  We will also advise you, if needed, on how to manage your dog while the training process is taking place, so that your dog can make maximum progress.  Once we have had the requisite number of sessions of one-on-one work with your dog, we will teach you how to maintain your dog's great new behavior.  It's that simple!  A typical intensive day training program provides 3-4hours of training per week for a minimum of 3 weeks.

A variety of monthly packages are available for day training to help keep your dog's manners in tip top shape.  We'll teach him new behaviors, polish up his manners, provide socialization and exercise all in one visit.  Come home from work to find a well mannered dog waiting for you!

Private Coaching

Private coaching is available for training and behavior problems that do not lend themselves well to the above day training model.  We meet with you once every 1-2 weeks for a private training session in and around your home.  We teach you the skills necessary to train your dog.  You incorporate regular training sessions into you dog's daily routine and continue to practice the training lessons with your dog until we meet for the next session.
