All Ages, All Motivations

Training Duration: Tailored to Your Needs

Focus

We hold the belief that every dog, irrespective of age or motivation, has the ability to learn and grow. Our program is designed to be as adaptable as your furry companion.

We prioritize a holistic science-based positive training approach with a strong emphasis on your pet’s wellbeing. We want to help create a nurturing environment that fosters trust and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Unlike certain training methodologies, we abstain from utilizing any form of shock, pinch, or tools designed to apply discomfort, as we recognize that suppressing a dog’s instincts can lead to long-term issues. Our primary focus is on establishing a positive and enduring connection that enhances your dog’s wellbeing and ensures a fulfilling training experience for both of you.

Our Hands-Off In-Home Training program provides a structured, personalized solution to meet your dog’s unique training needs while considering your busy schedule. Whether your focus is on targeted behaviors or building foundational skills, this program allows the trainer to work directly with your dog while providing you with the tools to sustain progress at home.

• Trainer-Led Sessions with Tailored Focus: Depending on your chosen program—Tiered Learning or Isolated Cues—the trainer dedicates focused, hands-on time to building skills and addressing behavioral needs.
• Owner Involvement for Success: While we do the initial groundwork, it’s essential for you to implement regular practice outside our visits. Owners play a vital role in reinforcing concepts to ensure lasting results.
• Convenient At-Home Training: Save time and stress as we bring professional dog training directly to your home, fitting seamlessly into your routine.

• Trainer Visits: Depending on your selected program, the trainer will visit your home multiple times a week, working one-on-one with your dog.
• Owner Coaching: Each week concludes with a session focused on teaching you how to reinforce the skills your dog has learned.
• Enrichment and Education: Beyond teaching cues, we emphasize creating a fulfilling and enriching environment for your dog. You’ll learn how to incorporate activities like sniffing, chewing, and problem-solving into their routine to meet their mental, physical, and emotional needs. This not only enhances their overall well-being but helps reduce stress and prevent unwanted behaviors.
• Ongoing Support: You’ll receive resources like videos, handouts, and tailored exercises to help you and your dog stay on track.
