What to expect?

Private lessons are for owners who are looking to take obedience to the next level. Dog training can be a very difficult task on your own, especially when you are trying to learn from online resources. Whether you have already started training on your own or have possibly worked with a trainer before, we want to give you a uniques training experience. Our programs give you are created to give you what you are looking for. 

1. Customization. 

Our programs are designed to give you exactly what you want. If that means training for an outdoor lifestyle like hiking, biking, and being off leash then we will create a plan for you. Maybe you want your dog to be the perfect couch potato and relax and watch a movie. Whatever your goals are, our training will be designed around you and your dog.

2. Flexibility.

Not everyone can meet on the same day and time each week. Our programs are designed so that you can choose any time that works for you. We also understand that life happens, vacations are needed,  emergencies pop up and sometimes we need to take some time off of training. If that is the case, not a problem at all, just pick up right where you left off. 

3. On and Off Leash. 

We start every course with on leash obedience. You have to master the basics before you get to the hard stuff. This on leash obedience is of course customizable depending on what you are looking for. In general each dog will learn Sit, Down, Stay, Go Place, Loose Leash Walking, Formal Heeling, and Distraction Proofing. 

Once in off-leash we want to teach your dog a variety of behaviors to give them the ultimate level of freedom. Not everyone has to do off leash but it is encouraged. In this part of the course we will teach Recall, Off Leash Walking, Adventure Components, and Problem Behavior Solving. 

4. Problem Behavior Solving. 

This course is also going to help you take care of minor issues you may be having with your dog. Running off, ignoring owners, Jumping, digging, etc. We want to show you how to deal with these problems in a way that leaves the dog feeling fulfilled and the owner less frustrated. For more extreme behavioral cases we will work to ensure proper management and help solve your difficult behavioral problems.m 

5. Group Work

Our lessons may start in a private setting but as you and your dog grow we want to invite you out to our group walks. These group walks are an earned right for those who have done their homework and are ready for a high level area. 6 months of these group walks are included in your course. We meet every other week to practice everything you have learned in a fun and difficult way. Each dog that is at this group has reached a level that they are safe and ready for each and every distraction we throw their way, so you can rest assured that your dog will learn the right things.
