Basic Board and Train Program

1-2 weeks/$1,000-$1,800

The Basic Board & Train Program is designed for well-balanced dogs, including those with no reactivity issues and happy-go-lucky puppies. This course focuses on obedience, social skills, house manners, and overall behavior.

  • Basic Commands: Essential commands such as sit, down, stay , come, and heel.

  • Socialization: Opportunities for dogs to interact with fellow participants, promoting confidence and friendly behavior.

  • Leash Manners: Teaching techniques for walking such as loose leash heel, auto-sit, and walking past distractions.

  • House Manners: Breaking habits like chewing, pottying, barking, jumping, furniture, etc.

  • Confidence Building: Activities designed to boost your dog’s confidence through positive reinforcement and fun challenges.

  • Handler Engagement: Teaching owners how to effectively communicate and bond with their dogs, enhancing the training experience.

Upon completion, participants will receive a progress report and recommendations for ongoing training practices. You will also get any training equipment your dog needs when they go home from their stay, as well as 2-4 Private Lessons and 1-2 Group Classes!

Advanced Board & Train Program

3-4 Weeks/$2,600-$3,300

This curriculum focuses on getting your dog incredibly well versed in their obedience, leash manners, greeting behaviors, and group interactions, allowing both dogs and their owners to practice in social settings such as parks, restaurants, etc. It takes just as many repetitions of a good behavior to replace a bad one, so the longer your dog is with me the more habits they break and the more their training can advance.

The Advanced Board & Train program transforms challenging behaviors into opportunities for enjoyment with your dog. This curriculum is the same as the Basic Program but with much more time and room for growth, and allows enough time for any extras you may want added onto their program. Participants will leave with the skills needed to confidently navigate new house rules and outings, and you’ll leave knowing exactly how to carry on so you can live a most peaceful life with your favorite companion.

This package includes any equipment your dog is currently using for training or will use in the future. It also includes 4-6 Private Lessons and 3-4 Group Classes.

Behavioral Modification Program

3-6 Weeks/$3,600-$5,000

This program is specifically tailored to each dog who has more intense behaviorial issues rather than basic. This includes any human/dog reactivity, anxiety, and fearfulness. During this program i’ll work with your dog to change the thought processes and triggers in their brain, build true confidence, and change some of their perspectives on the world. Their biggest focus will be solving their feelings about what is causing their behavioral change, which does take a while, and you’ll still have work to continue at home to change your relationship with your dog.

They will learn most if not all of the skills from the Basic and Advanced programs as well as their foundational training so you’ll get back not only a well behaved dog, but a well-trained one too! This program is specifically tailored to your dogs behaviors so any more curriculum information will need to be given after a consultation!

This program includes any equipment your dog is using for training or will use in the future. You’ll also recieve 8-10 Private Sessions and unlimited Group Classes.

Other Services

Daycare: 8am-5pm

$40/day

My small-scale playcare provides a structured and enriching day for your dog to learn and practice healthy social skills. Rather than a “free-for-all” mentality, I teach the pack how to engage in controlled play and interactions to promote positive behavior and confidence. We also go on lots of outings such as parks, farmers markets, and stores to advance our training!

Daycare is only for dogs who have done training with me before, to schedule you can contact me directly.

Monthly Group Classes

Behind the Leash:

Join our comprehensive Group Class, designed for dog owners who want to strengthen the bond with their furry companions while enhancing their obedience and socialization skills. During this course we’ll all take turns practicing practical exercises and techniques, addressing common behavioral issues and promoting positive interactions.

Throughout classes, participants will learn handling in close proximity to triggers, basic commands, and advanced training methods in a supportive environment. Your dog does require previous training with me so they’re not behind at class and everyone is able to learn as much as possible.

Classes are held once a month at a local park, we choose location at the Group Class the month before. Email’s are sent out afterwards notifying when, where, and what time on the 1st of every month, so sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of the site if you haven’t already!

In-Home Boarding

$60/night

I only offer boarding services to clients who have already completed training or are scheduled to do so. Boarding offers a unique opportunity for me to continue working on your dog’s training and socialization. If your dog stays for boarding they’re welcome to come out to daycare for no extra charge.

I am experienced in the veterinary field as well, so I can give any medications your dog may need as well as monitor health, diet, and general wellness. All your pup needs is their food, any medications, and a personal object they prefer. Boarding can be booked anytime by contacing me.
