more about our
private sessions

These are private, in-home training sessions that are individualized to your training goals. You’ll typically first discuss a training concept, then watch as your trainer demonstrates the concept with your dog and customizes learning exercises. Your trainer will then coach you as you practice the exercise with your dog yourself. Homework will be assigned for you and your dog until the next session. Additional a la carte sessions can always be added if needed.

more about our
group events

Our group events provide a structured environment to practice your new skills in. They’re perfect for reactive dogs who need prolonged exposure to other dogs, anxious dogs who need confidence building events, young dogs learning to focus in busy places, and high energy dogs who need an outlet. Examples of past outings include Agility Play-Days, the “Obedience Games”, and pet portrait day with a dog photographer.

more about our
overnight boarding program

Approved dogs stay overnight in a trainer’s home as part of the family. In a home environment with a familiar person, your training can progress while you’re away instead of regressing with a petsitter or in a boarding facility. Dogs must be crate trained and potty trained before participating in the boarding program. $89.90 per night.

* Optionally, clients can add 30-minute training sessions to their dog’s boarding stay.
Clients can select a daily training session or a session every other day. Each session is $65.
