Whether you're dealing with puppy chaos or reactivity issues, our training programs are designed to meet your dog where they are, and take them where you want to go.

The Training Your Dog Should Have Had From Day One
 
Bringing home a new puppy or dog is exciting… until the reality starts to set in.
 
Jumping on guests.
Pulling on the leash.
Ignoring their name.
Running out the door.
Selective hearing when you call them.
 
Most owners don’t realize that these early habits become lifelong behaviors if they aren't addressed properly.
 
That’s where The Foundation Program comes in.
 
This program is designed to create structure, communication, and reliability between you and your dog from the very beginning. Instead of guessing your way through training, your dog receives professional guidance that builds the habits every well-behaved dog needs.
 
Think of this as the blueprint for a calm, respectful, and responsive dog.
 
The Foundation Program is ideal for:
• Puppies under six months old
• Newly adopted dogs learning the rules of the home
• Families wanting a well-behaved household companion
• Owners who want solid obedience without off-leash training
This program focuses on on-leash obedience with mild to moderate distractions.

If your goals look like:
• Peaceful walks
• A dog that listens at home
• Polite behavior around guests
• Basic obedience and structure
 
Then the Foundation Program is a perfect fit.
 
If your goal is advanced off-leash training for environments like beaches, camping trips, or highly distracting public areas, we would recommend one of our more advanced programs like our Ultimate 3-60 instead.

The Foundation Program

IMG_8974.JPG

Complete Obedience. Real-World Reliability.
 
For many dog owners, basic obedience is only part of the goal.
They want a dog that listens anywhere, not just in the living room.
 
A dog that walks calmly through busy parks.
A dog that can be trusted off leash.
A dog that remains responsive even when distractions are everywhere.
 
The Ultimate 3-60 Program is designed for owners who want a high level of reliability, control, and communication with their dog, and is our most popular program!
 
This program goes beyond obedience and focuses on real-world performance, preparing dogs to respond in challenging environments such as public areas, around other dogs, and in highly distracting situations.
 
Whether your goal is better control during outdoor adventures, more confidence handling your dog in public, or addressing reactivity issues, this program provides the training structure needed to achieve it.

 
This program is well suited for:
- Dogs 6 Months of Age and Older
- Owners who want off-leash reliability
- Dogs that struggle with distractions
- Families who want to bring their dog to public places confidently
- Dogs who need additional structure around other dogs
- Owners dealing with leash reactivity or environmental triggers
 
By exposing dogs to controlled distractions and structured training environments, we help them develop the ability to stay engaged with their handler even when the world around them is busy.
 
Training will include working in real-world locations where dogs commonly struggle, helping them learn to remain focused and responsive outside of the home.

The Ultimate 3-60 Program

The Highest Level of Obedience, Confidence, and Real-World Reliability We Offer
 
The All-In Program is designed for dog owners who want the absolute best.
 
Not just basic obedience.

Not just a dog that listens sometimes.

But a dog who responds reliably in the real world, even when life gets busy, loud, and unpredictable.
 
This program is our most advanced and immersive training experience, built for owners who want a dog that listens the first time, handles distractions with confidence, and understands expectations at a deeper level.
 
The All-In Program goes far beyond traditional obedience training. It combines precision obedience, off-leash reliability, real-world exposure, structured routines, and advanced owner coaching to create a dog who is not only well-trained, but truly well-rounded.
 
Some programs teach commands. This one teaches mastery.
 
Whether your dog is stepping into advanced training for the first time or building on previous obedience work, the All-In Program creates the type of reliability most owners only hope for calm behavior in public, stable responses under pressure, confident off-leash performance, and a dog who genuinely understands how to behave in everyday life.
 
Real-world distractions are intentionally built into this program. Dogs train in locations such as parks, sidewalks, hardware stores, pet stores, and busy environments where they learn to remain calm, focused, and responsive even when the world around them is unpredictable.

This Program is well suited for:
- Dogs 10 Months of Age and Older
- Owners who want elite-level obedience
- Dogs who struggle with distractions or public environments
- Families who want a dog that can accompany them anywhere
- Dogs transitioning toward therapy work or service foundations
- Owners with ambitious training goals
- Families who want lasting structure, clarity, and leadership with their dog

The All-In Program is designed for owners who want the highest level of reliability and control with their dog.

Frequently asked questions

  • If your dog treats your commands like suggestions, steals snacks like a ninja, drags you on walks like a sled team, or thinks “come” means “run the other way”... it might be time for training.


    But in all seriousness, if your dog exhibits unwanted behaviors—like jumping, pulling on the leash, ignoring recall, being overly hyper, anxious, reactive, or simply not listening—it’s a great sign they’ll benefit from professional training.
     

    Training isn’t just for “bad dogs.” It’s for every dog to learn clear communication, gain confidence, and live more peacefully with their humans. Even the best dogs can benefit from some structure and guidance!

  • You can begin training as early as 8 weeks old! While puppies may have short attention spans, early training builds essential habits and helps prevent behavioral issues down the road. For a board and train, we recommend your puppy be at least five months of age for our Advanced Program.

    For older dogs—don’t worry—it’s never too late to start!

  • Private lessons involve weekly sessions with one-on-one guidance, giving you the tools to train your dog at home. Board & Train is a fully immersive program where your dog lives with a professional trainer and learns around the clock. Both include follow-up support!

  • Yes! We offer flexible payment plans to help make high-quality training accessible for every family. Most families note we are less expensive than most, and offer more than anyone else!
