Private Training
If you live in our service area, you are eligible for our in-person private training. If you are outside of our service area (detailed below), you wil be only eligible for virtual training.
Virtual training is available for all clients no matter the location.
The Consultation is required first.
what we offer:
d.i.y. coaching

Do It Yo'self Coaching. Our most popular service because training success rates are significantly higher when our parents are fully involved!

*Consultation Required.
And
S.M.A.R.T day training

S.M.A.R.T: Skill Maintenance and Retention Training. Work schedule has you busy and you can't always do Coaching sessions? This day training option is just for you. We come into your home (with or without you present) and train your dog for 30-60 minutes at a time. Since we are doing the training ourselves, we have time to hone key skills and do the practicing for you.
​
We will give your dog a potty break and leave them with enrichment to relax after their session!
And finally, we send Video Progress Reports (VPR) directly to you, summarizing each session.
Important: Not every dog will be eligible for S.M.A.R.T.s. (i.e extremely fearful dogs, extreme aggression). That may change over time, but we will determine eligibility.
*Consultation Required.
