Our Services
Private Lessons:
One-on-one weekly training sessions customized to meet your training goals
The first session is an hour and a half and subsequent sessions are one hour
Lessons can be held in your trainer’s home, your home or a public location conducive to the curriculum being covered (there is a travel fee for lessons held outside of your trainer’s home)
You & your dog will have training exercises to do daily in between lessons, to ensure progress from one session to the next
The Board & Train Approach:
Our Board & Train programs involve your dog living with his or her trainer for a predetermined number of weeks to learn their training curriculum. We have options that allow your dog to train Monday through Friday and then come home over the weekends, and options that allow them to stay with their trainer through the full duration of the program. Board & Trains are an immersive approach to learning, allowing your dog to learn in a few weeks what would otherwise take months.
We only take a few dogs into these programs at a time so that everyone gets the one-on-one care & work they need, while maintaining a normal home environment for all involved. Dogs receive multiple training sessions throughout the day, including outings for training in public & around distractions, as well as play time with their trainer, and other dogs.
All B&T programs include private lesson time with your family, to ensure you have everything you need to make you dog’s training a success after graduation. You have your trainer’s support before, during, and after your dog’s training program.

Virtual Training:
Virtual lessons are a great option for long distance clients, or clients whose schedule doesn’t have the flexibility to travel for sessions.
Sessions are structured similarly to in-person Private Lessons; they are best held weekly, and involve discussion as well as hands-on work with feedback from your trainer. An email summary is included at the end of each session.
