This can also be used a Day Training/Home School programWhy do you need this comprehensive training program?
- Establishing Structure and Boundaries: Puppies, like children, need clear boundaries and consistent rules to understand what’s expected of them. Without structure, they can become confused or anxious, leading to undesirable behaviors.
- Promoting Positive Behavior: Teaching owners to use praise, treats, or toys to reinforce positive behavior helps in quickly establishing good manners. This approach encourages the puppy to repeat the desired behaviors and accelerates learning.
- Understanding Genetic Needs: Each puppy has unique genetic traits based on their breed and needs. By understanding these, you can tailor your training to better suit their individual requirements, leading to more effective and personalized development.
- Building a Strong Bond: The first 6 months to a 1 year are crucial for building a solid foundation of trust and respect. A strong bond between you and your puppy ensures they see you as their advocate and leader, which fosters a more harmonious relationship.
- Reducing Frustration: Training helps in managing and reducing the chaos and frustration that can come with raising a puppy. When boundaries are clear and positive reinforcement is used effectively, both the owner and the puppy can enjoy a more pleasant experience.
Long-Term Benefits:
Establishing good habits early on can prevent behavioral issues down the road. A well-trained puppy is more likely to grow into a well-behaved adult dog, making for more enjoyable companionshipHow does this program work:
- Weekly Sessions: Each session is one hour long and focuses on teaching one basic manner at a time using hands-on techniques. This allows for focused, manageable learning.
- Training Techniques: We start the training process using verbal and hand signals, giving the puppy clear, consistent cues. This is great for building a strong communication foundation.
- Consistency and Practice: Emphasizing that the owner continues the training throughout the week reinforces the learning and helps the puppy progress more quickly.
- Enrichment and Play: Sessions include activities that stimulate the puppy mentally and physically, which is essential for a well-rounded development.
- Bonding and Socialization: By focusing on play and enrichment, you’re also strengthening the bond between the puppy and owner, which is key to a successful training relationship. Socialization and confidence building are integral parts of your program.
- Outdoor Training: Once the puppy is fully vaccinated, you transition to outdoor training, addressing leash manners and coping skills. This helps the puppy adapt to different environments and situations.

The Adolescent Program - Silver Package
$1250
This program is for puppies 8 months and older
The Adolescent period for a dog can be very frustrating as you have a teenager with hormones that are creating a lot of changes in their brain, and they typically struggle with “listening” and following through with what you ask. First, I evaluate “why” your dog is behaving in a way that is causing frustration then I figure “how” to help you and your dog have a better relationship by building trust, understanding their genetics drives and providing appropriate outlets to ease their frustration and learning effective communication. Patience, empathy and understanding are crucial during this very important time of canine development. I can cover any basic manners not previously learned.
Program includes:
7 Sessions, Treat bag, educational handouts, harness (if needed).Please note that a $250 consultation is required for all new clients separate from any program.
