Right for you if
This is the program when
- Dogs who are perfect at home and deaf in public
- Owners who want off leash freedom safely
- High drive working breeds
- Dogs who need to hold a place around other dogs
- Anyone who wants to take their dog everywhere
What we cover
By the time your dog comes home
- Off leash heel, recall, and place
- Duration holds around heavy distraction
- Work in public: sidewalks, shops, patios, markets
- Neutrality around other dogs, including intact males
- Handler skills so the behavior holds without me there
- An optional public training session before your dog comes home
Every dog is different, so this is the shape of the work rather than a fixed checklist. What your dog specifically needs gets set at the evaluation.
How it runs
Start to finish
-
01
A phone call, free
You tell me what is going on. I tell you what is driving it and whether I am the right person for it. Nothing gets booked on this call.
-
02
An in person evaluation
I meet your dog. You get my read, the plan, and the number, before you commit to anything.
-
03
Your dog lives and trains with me
One trainer, hands on, every day. Photos and videos of the real work while it happens.
-
04
Three to five sessions training you
Not optional. A trained dog handed to an untrained owner unravels in a month. We go longer if you need longer.

05
I stay on the hook
Advanced Obedience and behavior programs carry a lifetime training guarantee. Basic Obedience includes a month of additional sessions if you need them. Either way, call me.
On length
Programs here are not sold as a fixed block of days. If your dog needs longer to reach the standard, it stays longer and you are not charged for the extra time. One client had a dog held three extra weeks at no cost because he was not ready at the six week mark.
Around the fifth week, Aaron let us know that Enzo wasn’t ready to return at the end of the six-week program because he was still extremely stubborn and needed more time.
