Training Plans for Everyone!
Day Train
Our most recommended training plan! Your dog will spend one day a week with us for 4-7 weeks. We will work with your dog multiple times a day on their specific needs, tailoring each session to maximize their learning. You will have homework throughout the week, but most learning will happen with us. Perfect for pet parents who want to be involved in training but don't have as much free time as needed for private lessons.
Private lessons
Our Private Lesson packages are the most broad option. Whether you're looking to just curb bad manners such as leash pulling or jumping up on people; or if you're looking to go all 10 miles and achieve off leash trust with your dog, private lessons will cover you. Private lessons are typically one hour once a week for 3-7 weeks. Results depend mostly on owner input at home, so get ready to have some fun with your pup!
Group class
Group class is a fun and easy way to teach your dog in a fun environment! Great for puppies and dog-friendly dogs to learn how to focus in distracting environments. Classes are held once a week for 6 weeks and last around an hour. We offer classes for basic, intermediate and advanced obedience as well as agility and scent work. Dogs have to be dog-friendly to be allowed in a group class. (Reactive dogs should check out our other programs.)

Beginner
Beginner obedience packages are for the pups who just need a nudge in the right direction. Our beginner packages will help with mild leash pulling, jumping up, and a few obedience commands. You will learn the foundational skills needed to teach your dog anything. Each beginner obedience package, (excluding the owner's choice package,) includes a slip lead and a clicker to help aid in the training process. Once you graduate from this package you'll be ready to move up to intermediate. If you choose not to graduate and move up, you will still have learned enough to grow your dog's skills on your own.
