Programs

All of our programs can be customized for you and your dog's specific needs and wants.  Please do not hesitate to ask.  All programs include phone and email support between lessons.  Follow up advice after training sessions is always available.

  • In-Home Sessions
    • Sometimes you need a little help at home.  Does your dog jump on guests as they enter your home or try to barge out the front door?  Wouldn't you prefer your dog to back up on command, lay down and wait for your guests to greet your dog?
    • In-Home training is appropriate in these circumstances.  In fact, it is the best way to go as the home environment is where your dog's behaviors are shown and the training program can be personally tailored to your needs.
    • In-Home training is also great for owners whose work schedules preclude them from attending group classes, have more than one dog to train and are not interested in our residency or day camp programs.
    • Cost for In-Home sessions vary depending on distance trainer must travel, behaviors requiring modification & time estimated to do so.  Evaluations can be done to assess the amount of time needed and the evaluation is FREE.  Call or email for more details.
  • Baby's Coming (In your home)
    • Are you expecting or is someone in your family expecting and now you need to get your dog ready for the new member?  I come to your home and teach you all kinds of ways to prepare you dog.  The earlier in the pregnancy you can do this the better.  After this class you will have a lot to do, but feel empowered that your time and attention to this matter will greatly help your fur kid get ready for and accept your new baby.  Cost $60.00.
  • Behavior Modification/Counseling
    • This program is for owners who are experiencing challenges with specific behavioral issues.  The elimination of inappropriate behavior begins with proper training.  This type of training can be done in your home or private lessons, depending on the behavior issues can also be worked out through residency and other programs.  Call for your free evaluation today for more details.
  • Private Sessions
    • Private Sessions at our facility.  Our facility is located at 6671 Red Arrow Hwy in Stevensville.  We have a comfortable indoor training room, over 2400 square feet and a soft matted floor under our agility equipment, so it is safe and easier on you and your dog's joints. 
    • Private Sessions are designed for the owner who desires one-on-one instruction and allows for more flexible scheduling.  This program is custom designed, based on both the owner's priorities and a personal evaluation of the dog.  Owners who enroll dogs in private sessions are also invited to attend other obedience group classes, pending trainer's approval, at no extra charge.
    • Cost for Private Sessions:  I don't believe in punching a clock and know just like people, dogs vary in the amount of time they take to learn a new behavior, therefore, I work in sessions not lessons.  (i.e. a session is the amount of time it takes to teach behavior(s) and can last up to an hour or more depending on the dog and his personality/temperament).  $65.00 for one session or save money with one of our private packages.  3 sessions/$120.00; 4 sessions/$140.00; 6 sessions/$180.00.
  • Puppy/Dog Breed Counseling
