Dog Training Services

Private Dog Training Lessons

Private lessons give you one-on-one help with your dog in your own home. They are a good place to start if you have a new puppy, an adult dog who needs better manners, or questions about what training option is right for your family.

$145

Day Training for Dogs

Day training gives your dog time out of the house while working with our trainers during the day. We practice commands, manners, behavior goals, playtime, and appropriate socialization while your dog is with us.

$125

Group Dog Training Classes

Group classes help you and your dog practice obedience skills around other dogs, people, and everyday distractions. Classes are a great way to build confidence, learn together, and keep training moving forward.

$185 for 6 weeks

Board & Train Dog Training

Board & Train is a more hands-on training option where your dog stays in one of our trainers’ homes and works on obedience, manners, socialization, house manners, and real-world skills.

Behavior Modification

Behavior modification is for dogs who need help with more challenging behaviors, such as reactivity, fearfulness, leash issues, impulse control, or other concerns. We work with you and your dog to build calmer responses and better communication.

Supervised Playgroups

Playgroups give current client dogs a chance to play, socialize, and build confidence with trainer supervision. Playgroups are only available for dogs who have completed at least one lesson with us.

$20/hr per dog
