Right for you if

This is the program when

  • Owners who do not want to send their dog away
  • Specific problems rather than a full rebuild
  • Keeping progress going after a board and train
  • Owners who learn best by doing it themselves
  • Households that need everyone handling the dog the same way

What we cover

By the time your dog comes home

  • Work on the exact problem you called about
  • Coaching for you, in your own environment
  • A plan you can actually run between sessions
  • Add on sessions alongside any board and train program
  • Whole household handling, so the dog gets one set of rules

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

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    An in person evaluation

    I meet your dog. You get my read, the plan, and the number, before you commit to anything.

  3. 03

    Your dog lives and trains with me

    One trainer, hands on, every day. Photos and videos of the real work while it happens.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
