Training Programs

Below are our available programs. Please review program details and investment before filling out an application!

Our Stay & Train programs are our most popular! Your dog will be introduced to and work on the following during a Stay & Train program:

  • Sit, Down, Place

  • Leash manners / Heel

  • Waiting at thresholds

  • Kennel manners

  • Car manners

  • Handling & nail dremeling desensitization

  • Off-leash recall (excludes Puppy Jump Start)

  • Calm state of mind

  • Other concerns as discussed

Our training takes place in a home environment, allowing your dog to experience real-life situations before they encounter them in your own home. This approach not only helps your dog build confidence in everyday settings but also makes the transition back to your home smoother and less stressful. For added peace of mind, our kennel room is equipped with a camera, so we can check in as needed when we step out.

Our programs place a strong emphasis on your dog’s state of mind. We’re not just aiming for obedience—we’re committed to fostering calmness, contentment, and emotional balance, ensuring your dog is not only following commands but also feeling at ease in various situations.

These programs provide an excellent foundation, but the journey doesn’t end here. Consistency and maintenance are key, and there will be ongoing work for you at home. If you're looking for a quick fix or a "robot-dog" solution, this program may not be the right fit. Real, lasting success comes when you continue to engage with your dog and hold them accountable to what they’ve learned.
