"Train with your brain, not pain" -Pat Miller

Private Lessons

One-on-one behavior training in your home or a designated location (example dog park or dog friendly store). This is especially a good choice if your dog is having issues at home or in public. Our trainer will travel to you and work on specific behaviors in the location where help is needed.

1/2 hour lessons for $75 or buy 6, 1/2 hour session for $425

Mileage: Depending on your location from our facility. Anything more than 20 miles round trip has a mileage fee of $30-40.

Bite Fee: If your dog is a level three or higher on the bite scale, an additional $30 fee per session will apply. See Dr. Ian Dunbars bite scale (link in resources)

Board & Train

Intense, consistent and effective behavioral training in the trainer’s home. This allows us to have a very focused, individualized training schedule to reach your goals over the course of two or more days.

Reactivity Therapy

Exposure therapy for your dog and their trigger(s). Triggers are what makes your dog over-react (examples: dogs, people, cars, etc.). Our exposure therapy uses dog psychology to effectively communicate what the dog may perceive as threatening is in fact, not a threat. This method also teaches dogs the coping skills needed to learn how to handle the stressful situation without blowing it out of proportion while also not shutting down their personality. (Most popular amongst clients)

$130/hr or $750 for 6 Sessions

Play Camp

Play camp is a great alternative when your busy schedule makes it difficult to do group classes or private lessons. Play camp mixes socializing and training into one fun day. This includes controlled play groups with trainers' dogs, maintaining previous training, new goals and correcting/redirecting unwanted behaviors in the home setting.

Play Camps are scheduled for 4 hours and advance scheduling is required. Time adjustments can be discussed with trainer but may inquire additional fees. During their 4 hour play camp your dog will receive kennel free breaks to help avoid burnout and help with absorption of new skills (similar to recess). When you pick up your dog at the end of the day our trainer will explain and demonstrate now to maintain the behaviors taught. One private training lesson is required before booking a play camp.

Play Camp $200/day

Be a Tree

Dog bite prevention for kids. This is a great bite prevention course that will not only teach kids how to read dog’s body language but how to react if a dog makes them uncomfortable or a strange approaches them. During this presentation we teach kids how to be dog detectives by finding clues of how a dog might be feeling. All tools you need to read a dog’s body language and be safe you always have with you.

We show the kids their tools box is in their head and their tools are their body, eyes, mouth, fist, and legs. We teach kids that it’s never a good idea to go up to a strange dog no matter how friendly it may seem. We teach the kids what to do if the strange dog approaches them. They will learn how to be a tree by tucking their branches in and watching their roots grow because trees are boring and the dog will not be so interested in them and go away. There will be no dogs present for this course but instead we will have educational pictures and plush dogs showing the various signals dogs can give and what they mean. We will also play some fun interactive games to help the students practice.

101&102 Dalmatians

With over 101 different types of dogs out there It’s hard to choose the right breed for you. We can help!

101:Professional help choosing appropriate breed. With so many different breeds out there often times it’s hard to choose. People can become overwhelmed when choosing a new member of the family and unfortunately end up picking a dog based on cuteness alone. This can cause many problems for the family and the dog’s future. A dog that is bred for hard labor but expected to be a lazy house pet can end up tied to the tree or wine up in the shelter. Choosing a breed is a personal choice but we can help you make it an educated one. We will access your life style, schedule, extra-curricular activities and help you choose the perfect breed for you!

102: Professional help choosing the best pup of the litter for you! While 101 Dalmatians includes a life style assessment with breed recommendations, 102 includes a litter assessment. We can help choose which pup will be the best for your family if you have already found a litter you would like to adopt from by observing the way the puppies interact with each other and you (especially great for choosing therapy dogs).We will also asses their current living situation and address and problems that may occur because of it. If you want to adopt or rescue we can accompany you to the shelter or pet store of your choice. Their maybe a mileage fee if the shelter or store is out of our area.

$50 each or $90 for both
