The Ground Zero Program

One program.
Two ways to get there.
No Fine Print.
This isn't the first tier of four options designed to continuously upsell you. It's the one program built the way your training should have been done for you from the start, whether you want to do the work yourself with guidance or have it done for you almost entirely.
Ground Zero means exactly what it sounds like. We start where your dog actually is, not where a programmed tier says that they should be. There is no comparison chart, no upsell path, and no guessing which package fits. Just two ways to get the same result and the real support that doesn't disappear the moment training ends.
What Your Dog Will Learn
Both paths build the same foundation: name recognition, engagement, and a recall that your dog actually wants to do.
Sit, stay down, wait, place, leave it, heal, come back, settle, and boundaries are all built to hold up around real distractions and real-life scenarios, not only in a quiet living room.
Everyday life skills, too, including leash manners, greeting guests without jumping, and calm behavior in public.
This is the same foundation taught in the free course, so if you have already started there, board and train or private lessons will feel like a continuation, not a restart.


Private Guided Lessons
Seven Lessons | Unlimited Support After Graduation | Training Gear | Certificate | Discounted Refresher Boarding | Group Refresher Access
Seven private, guided, and coached sessions with you and your dog, done together privately with you in the real world where your dog actually lives. This is the path for owners who want to be the one holding the leash when it matters, learning alongside your dog and taking the sole responsibility for the progress you and your dog have together, instead of handing that job off.
Once the seven sessions are done, you are not on your own. Your follow-up support continues for as long as you need it, because a trained dog once and never supported again isn't actually trained. He's just rehearsed, and your family also deserves the support required for a lifetime's worth of success.
Have more than one dog in the household? No problem. Let's train both of them at the same time.
Board & Train Option
6-7 Weeks Residential Stay and Train with Trainers | Unlimited Support After Graduation | Training Gear | Certificate | Discounted Refresher Boarding | Group Refresher Access
In our residential board and train option, you and your dog will participate in our intensive train and stay option
that your dog will receive:
-
daily formal training sessions
-
daily walks
-
enrichment
-
field trips
-
real-life exposure
All living alongside a balanced pack of dogs with multiple trainers to help take care of them. We only host a limited amount at one time to ensure the safety, cleanliness, and the proper training your dog deserves.
For six to seven weeks in a real home, not a busy boarding kennel. This is the path for owners who need the heavy lifting done for them, whether it's time, physical ability, confidence issues within yourself, or simply needing a head start before you take over the day-to-day.
During training, you'll get three in-person lessons with your dog before they come home, so the training transfers to you, not just to him. Plus the same unlimited follow-up support that comes with private lessons.
During training, you'll receive weekly phone calls on Saturday or the option to come visit your dog on Saturday morning. Three in-person lessons and unlimited follow-up lessons as needed. We'll also post pictures and videos almost daily online for you to follow along and enjoy watching their progress.

a note on cost
There is no price listed here on purpose. Every dog in every situation is different enough that a number on a page would either undersell what's needed or oversell what isn't. Reach out, tell me what's going on, and you'll get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
