Dog & Puppy Training
30 Minute Individual Sessions

Initial Meeting is 1 hour $80 (one time only for assessment and goal identification)
Regular 30 min. sessions $60
Play and Train
This service requires that your dog can pass a social assessment to safely play in daycare. Once approved, your dog will come during Daycare (you schedule with our trainer Monday – Friday 7:00 am – 6:00 pm) and play while also receiving one-on-one time to learn skills you pre-determine both while in the group and with some periods of individual training.
Cost: $65
Board and Train
Board and train services are beneficial when you obtain a new dog or puppy, because these services focus on the overall foundations of training. Dogs learn the following:
• Impulse control and commands- Sit and wait/stay. They will sit and wait for meals, activities and when people come home so they will remain calm.
• Recall with hand gestures and leash training.
• House training for restroom behaviors and to avoid marking, staying out of the kitchen and having a safe zone to stay.
• Socialization and general dog interactions.
Dogs will spend time playing with other daycare dogs and learning skills during the day and then further training while boarding in the home as house guests.
*All dogs must pass a social assessment to be able to receive this service. Dogs who do not meet social requirements will be offered individual training.
Cost:
1 – week board and train: $800
2 – week board and train: $1,540
Puppy Class
This class is 4 weeks (generally on a Saturday morning) for 1 hour each. The group spends about 30 minutes learning basic skills and then another 30 minutes is spent on socialization and interactions as a group.
Sessions include:
• Relationship building: the importance of walks, exercise, touch, enrichment, and “pack” time
• Creating structure in the home: feeding time, safe zones, appropriate affection
• Critical socialization: gaining comfort with environments and general surroundings and different activities.
• Impulse control: sit, wait or stay, sitting before meals, sitting before enrichment activities, sitting before someone new enters the home.
• House training: knowing how long can they hold it and providing positive reinforcement.
• Recall: using hand gestures and leash/long lead training.
Cost: $150
Adult class
This is a 4-week class that meets for 1 hour each week, focused on skill building.
The goal would be to touch on two of these topics in one hour. The next class, we would revisit the things from the previous session and hopefully move forward to next two topics. Adult class moves a little slower and longer on each skill since dogs generally have longer attention and training focus.
Skills include:
• Relationship building
• Creating structure
• Impulse control
• Recall
• Enrichment activities such as nose work, scent work
*Impulse control, recall, and enrichment activities usually take the longest to teach.
Cost: $200
