TRAINING THAT ACTUALLY FITS YOUR LIFE


There’s no one program that works for every dog.

Some need more structure. Some need more owner involvement. Some just need consistency and follow-through.
That’s why I offer a few different ways to work together. The goal stays the same across all of them. Clear communication, consistency, and results that hold up outside of training.

  • This is the core of how I work with most dogs.

    Training happens during the day while you're at work or busy, so your dog gets the consistency and repetition they actually need. We finish with sessions that hand the training off to you at home, and I'm there for support long after the program ends. This is a finished dog, built to last.

    Programs run 4 weeks, Monday through Friday, and are built around real-life exposure — not just controlled sessions. If your dog needs more time, I extend the program at no additional cost. The work is done when the dog is ready, not when the calendar runs out.

    What this includes:

    •  Daily, structured training

    •  Real-world exposure and behavior work

    •  Go-home session with detailed instruction 

    •  Follow-up session about a week later

    •  All Training Tools provided

    • Pick-up and drop-off options available


    Best for:

    •  Owners who want a trained dog, not a training project

    •  Owners who don't have the time or experience to do it themselves

    •  Owners who want progress without guessing what to do 


    This is the most consistent way to build real, lasting results.

  • For dogs that need a more focused reset, this is a fully immersive option.

    Your dog stays with me and gets consistent daily training in a structured environment. I keep this limited so each dog gets the attention it needs. We finish with a go-home session that hands the training off to you, and I'm there for support long after the program ends.

    Programs run 4 weeks. If your dog needs more time, I extend the program at no additional cost. The work is done when the dog is ready.

    What this includes:

    •  Daily, structured training 

    •  Real-world exposure and behavior work 

    •  Go-home session with detailed instruction 

    •  Follow-up session about a week later 

    • All training tools provided


    Best for:

    • Dogs with deeper issues that need full immersion

    • Dogs that aren't making progress at home

    • Owners traveling or unable to maintain a daily training schedule


    This is the deepest reset I offer — built to hold up long after your dog comes home.

  • Private lessons done with you and your dog together, usually in your home.

    For new puppies and young dogs before problems start. We come to your home and build the foundation — engagement, name response, leash skills, crate training, house manners.

    What this includes:

    •  One-on-one guidance 

    •  In-home sessions

    •  Clear communication and handling skills 

    •  Practical, real-life application 


    Best for:

    • Puppies under 6 months

    • New rescues settling in

    • Owners who want to start right rather than fix later.

  • Maintenance Days for Graduates

    For graduated Day Training and Board & Train clients only. Your dog joins the working pack to maintain skills and socialize with other trained dogs.

    This isn’t free play. It’s a controlled environment that reinforces what your dog already knows.

    Good for:

    •  Maintaining training 

    •  Keeping structure in place 

    •  Giving your dog continued consistency
