Our Pet Training Programs
Board and Trains
Our Board and Train programs are our most popular option, offering two to four weeks of immersive, one-on-one training designed to create lasting behavior changes in your dog. During this time, we achieve remarkable progress, and the transformation is undeniable. Afterward, we work closely with you, providing hands-on training in effective communication, classical and operant conditioning, and problem-solving techniques. Our goal isn’t just to correct behavior—it’s to empower you with the knowledge and skills to build a strong, lifelong bond with your dog.
Behavior Modification
I understand how difficult it can be to navigate a dog with aggression or reactivity. It is incredibly frustrating and causes undue stress for you and your family. I have spent many years learning effective training techniques to address these issues, spending time with neuroscientists who specialize in behavior modification, as well as industry experts and training several hundred dogs. I feel I have gained invaluable skills that will undoubtedly help you and your dog.
Legacy Program
A program that you feel silly not saying “yes” to! This program is designed for the family that wants the best training and support for their new family member for the life of their dog. Your new pup will be given two of our Board and Trains during their first year of life. We start the training before your puppy turns six months old with a 2-week Board and Train and complete a 4-week Board and Train before they turn one year old. You will also get free training for the life of your dog, along with free access to our online training programs and app! With one upfront payment, you will be covered for the life of your new family member.
