Dog Obedience Programs

Have you rescued a dog within the last three months? Well, this is the class for you, this is a free class to help you get started on the right foot with your furry friend. 

This is a class we provide to give an introduction to training. We work on some basic skills including walking, "sit," "down," eye contact, and the "place" command.

This is the same session as the first session of our General Obedience program. If the client wishes to continue training beyond this session, they could complete the General Obedience program in three more sessions or continue on to our Day Training program. 

This is our most popular program. It is geared towards dogs 17 weeks and older. 

This program is designed for dogs with reactivity, aggression, anxiety, fear, overstimulation, and people who just don’t have the time to put in all the training repetitions themselves. 

The dog comes to our facility for 10 days, going home each day. Drop-off is from 7:30-8 and pickup ranges from 3-5:15. 

This program gives us the perfect opportunity to work on overexcitement and reactivity when it comes to other dogs and people because we are located in such a busy area and constantly have other dogs around. 

We try to identify as many things as we can that are a trigger for the dog and set up scenarios around those triggers. For example, maybe your dog is afraid of men or even random objects such as a laundry basket or cars on the road. 

Besides correcting bad behaviors like jumping, excessive barking, reactivity, and aggression, we teach the dogs how to walk nicely beside us, sit, down, stay, place, leave it, and to remain neutral in chaotic environments. 

For the owner, we show you how to properly use a prong collar, e-collar and other concepts that will help you better communicate with your dog. 

We can also work on more specific problems you are experiencing, for example bolting out the door, food aggression, or resource guarding.

As the training progresses, the dogs are taken to stores and other public places where they are going to encounter strange people, strange dogs and new sights, sounds and smells. 

More important than what we teach the dog, we need to teach the owners how to replicate the same results at home. Every day, we will run you through everything the dog did that day and what your homework should be for that night, as well as answer any questions you may have. 

Every night, an email gets sent out with what we worked on, and in many cases, it includes a video demonstrating what that should look like. 

After a few days of training, we will schedule a one-on-one session with you and your dog. This allows us to show you everything we are working on and to have you practice with your dog under the guidance of our trainers, so everyone is on the same page. These different commands and concepts will become the foundation of what we are going to hold the dog accountable for. 

Once the dog understands the rules/boundaries, we as the human must enforce the rules/boundaries, provide consequences for violation of the rules/boundaries, and be consistent in the enforcement of the rules/boundaries. 

Does that sound just like raising kids? It is the same concept.

*There is an equipment requirement for this program, the dog will need: a flat leash, a Herm Sprenger prong collar, and an E-collar Technologies e-collar.

Approximate cost of the equipment is $330 to get the dog set up. We do carry the equipment and it can be acquired from us on the dog's first day.

The cost is $1700 for the program + equipment cost; approximately $330.

We are going past the basics of "sit" and "down" and adding extra challenges. 

During this program, the dog will start to learn how to complete their commands under high distraction and even do them in motion, along with other advanced commands like retrieving, directionals, and how to target an object.

This program also works on the training required to pass the AKC K9 good citizen test.

The cost is $750.

This is an additional week of training for dogs who struggle with aggression and reactivity. 

In our two-week program, we work on getting the dogs comfortable being in the presence of other dogs, but in this add-on

we will push interactions further. We will work on the dog interacting with other dogs, dealing with the stress of off-leash dogs, working on commands in busy areas, and working on “stranger danger.”

The cost is $750.

This program is for dogs who struggle with anxiety. While we work on these concepts in our two-week Day Training program, we will be taking a deeper dive in this program. 

We will work on commands to promote calming and work through situations that make the dog anxious like kennels or busy crowds. We will also take the dog through confidence-building activities such as climbing on unfamiliar surfaces or even busy parks and stores.

This is an add on to the two-week Day Training program.

The cost is $750.

This is a one-week add-on program for owners who would like to ease their dog's fear of grooming.

Each day, the dog will be exposed to grooming practices, such as brushing, nail trims, dremmeling, blow drying, anal gland expressing, ear cleansing, teeth brushing, and a final bath at the end of the week.

We do this through repetition throughout the week with the trainer to help your dog more comfortable with the grooming process.

The cost is $750.

In this program, we are working on the skills needed for off-leash freedom for your dog. Although we do a basic level of off-leash recall in the two-week Day Training program, we take a deeper dive into off-leash recall in this program.

We will work on the dog becoming more reliable while in distracting environments with recall and following through with commands without relying on a leash.

The cost is $750.

The cost is $750.

Our Obedience Refresh Program is designed for dogs that have already completed our initial obedience training. This means they are familiar with specific commands and boundaries. The program focuses on reinforcing the three key components of obedience training: boundaries, consequences, and consistency. 

This is a 1-week program, with drop-off at 8 AM and pick-up between 3 PM and 4 PM.

Each day, your dog will receive approximately 1.5 hours of one-on-one training time. During the remaining time, they will work on impulse control through group activities, such as maintaining a "down" position while other dogs are training or playing fetch. Our facility is uniquely equipped to expose your dog to other dogs and a high volume of foot traffic. This exposure helps your dog become comfortable around various people. 

The cost of the program is $800 for the week, which includes approximately 35 hours of training. To secure a spot on the schedule, a deposit of half the total cost, along with the completed agreement and questionnaire, is required.

This is our more budget-friendly program designed for dogs that are at least 20 weeks old. The program consists of four one-on-one training sessions, each lasting one hour, scheduled weekly. These sessions are typically held in the evenings from Monday to Thursday. 

Think of this program as "train the trainer." Since there is a limited number of repetitions we can do with the dog in one hour, it is the owner's responsibility to practice with their dog between sessions. We cover the same topics as in our Day Training program; however, this program does not include other dogs or unfamiliar people to work through reactivity. We will, nonetheless, teach you how to address reactivity. 

Participants must have the following equipment for the class: a flat leash, a Herm Sprenger prong collar, an E-collar Technologies e-collar, a treat bag, a clicker, and a high-value treat. The approximate cost of this equipment is $330, and it is available for purchase from us on the dog’s first day. 

The total cost for the program is $450, plus the equipment cost of approximately $330.

*Additional one-hour sessions can be purchased for $115 each.

We offer a program that serves as an introduction to training. In this session, we focus on fundamental skills such as walking, sitting, lying down, maintaining eye contact, and the place command. This session is identical to the first session of our General Obedience program. Should the client choose to pursue additional training after this session, they can complete the General Obedience program in three more sessions.

At our facility, we provide a streamlined training process designed to meet the needs of various dog behaviors without the requirement of an initial assessment. Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that consistency in methodology is key to effectively addressing a range of canine issues. Consequently, we find no necessity to meet with the dog prior to the commencement of our programs.

However, we recognize that exceptional cases exist, particularly when dealing with dogs exhibiting extreme aggression towards humans. In such situations, a preliminary assessment may be prudent to ensure the safety of our trainers and the environment. This is our only exception, as we prioritize the well-being of both dogs and humans in our training ethos.

We invite interested individuals to visit our facility to discuss our programs further and observe our training methods in action. For those seeking personalized guidance or wishing to address more complex or hazardous behaviors, we offer the option of a one-hour session priced at $115. 

This session serves dual purposes: it can provide valuable insights into extreme fear or aggression issues, or it can facilitate a meeting to discuss specific goals for your dog.

Our commitment is to provide a safe, supportive environment for all dogs and their owners, ensuring that training is both effective and tailored to individual needs.
