Private Training

The private training package has two options. With the first option the trainer will come to your home to work one on one with you and your dog. This allows you to learn how to work effectively with your dog in the comfort, privacy, and familiar surroundings of your home and immediate neighborhood. The second option requires you traveling to another location for training. You will receive the same quality one on one training, but at a reduced price. Private Training covers basic obedience and problem behaviors.

Board and Train

Also called "canine boot camp" by some trainers, Board and Train is my most popular training program. Board and Train allows your dog to "live and breathe" the world of dog training. This in-depth educational opportunity involves your dog staying at the trainer's home for one month (30 days) and allows for multiple daily training sessions. This is a customized dog training program covering anything from crate training puppies, basic obedience, socialization, as well as problem behaviors such as aggression, fearfulness, anxiety, off leash training, and more. Two lessons, one the day your dog goes home and one schedule up to two weeks later, are included at the conclusion of the program to teach the owner how to maintain the training. Price: $3500.00

There are three main categories for dogs accepted into Board and Train:
