Single consultation

Each training program begins with a single in home consultation. In the initial consultation we will go over each program, answer any and all questions you may have, as well as make sure that your goals for your dog are realistic and design a program to reach those goals. The visit will last until we have covered everything and answered any questions you have about your dog or any dog you have had in the past. Some clients feel that the initial consultation is enough information to begin training their dog on their own. There is no obligation to sign up for a training program after the consultation. If you do wish to sign up for either training program the price of the consultation will be deducted from the total price of the chosen program.

2-Week Basic Obedience

In this program your dog will be taught to walk on a loose leash, self-control, respect for authority, curbing (not running through open doors), socialization skills, and most importantly how to pay attention to you. Throughout the program your dog will be learning everyday and take steps to become the dog you always wanted. Your dog will be put into real life scenarios (riding in a car, meeting guests properly, meeting other dogs, taken on daily walks, taken to public parks) in order to teach him/her the proper behavior in those situations that your dog will encounter after the program is over. Your dog will be living with us in our home, and will be treated like one of our own dogs.  By the end of the two week program your dog will view you as the authoritative figure in your home, respond to verbal commands such as “sit”,”stay”, ”down”, “no”, “off”,   walk properly on a leash, and exhibit self control.  The goal of this program is to lay down a solid foundation of obedience and teach the dog that listening and paying attention to you is the number one priority.   After the two week training there will be a free follow up visit to touch up and review everything your dog has learned. This will be scheduled at your convenience in your home.

6-week Basic Obedience (In-Home)

The in-home training program is just that. This program consists of two visit’s per week for a total of six weeks. Each visit is scheduled at your convenience, we will work around your schedule and on your time. The in-home training is a very hands on training approach for the owner of the dog. We will cover all of the same aspects of the two-week board and train program. Each visit will last approximately 1-2 hours. During the visits we will show you how to do each exercise and work with you side by side in training your dog in order to reach the goals you have for your dog.
