Private Training Programs
Most owners want that calm, confident dog who listens at home and out in the real world, but they’ve never been shown how to get there. Our private programs give you the exact path.
We start by setting real boundaries and fixing behavior issues like jumping, pulling, barking, and door bolting, while building a respectful relationship your dog can finally relax in. From there, you’ll master leash skills, handle distractions, and communicate clearly both on and off leash.
You’ll learn the same step-by-step system we teach in our Board and Train programs to help you enjoy your dog anywhere, every day.

What we cover week by week
Short, simple steps that stack real results.
Meaningful Boundaries + Meaningful Change
We fix the daily friction first. Door manners, no jumping on guests, no bolting, no eating off the ground. Clear rules that lower anxiety and make your dog look to you for what to do.
Way of the Walk: Exploration Walks
We teach movement with you using a retractable on purpose. Goals: turn when you turn without hitting the button and stop with you within petting range. Calm, curious, connected.
Bulletproof Obedience
We shorten the leash for the Farmer’s Market Walk and drill turn, bump, and stop. This is where leash skills meet obedience so your dog can listen even when life gets busy.
Bulletproof Obedience + Intro to Reliable Recall
We tighten obedience and introduce the remote collar at gentle working levels so you can communicate from any distance. This starts your recall foundation the right way.
Advance, Proof, and Personalize
We push skills under tougher distractions, work public access, build confidence, and tackle advanced problem solving like anxiety or reactivity. The plan is tailored to your dog.
