Foundational obedience in a focused environment:

Dogs practice commands such as Sit, Down, Place, Heel, and Off across multiple settings.

Improved leash manners:

Dogs receive structured practice intended to improve on- and off-leash Heel and everyday walking behavior.

Real-world distraction work:

Greeting, door, and meal manners:

Specialized behavior programs:

The handoff session teaches owners how to use the training tools, give commands, and continue practicing at home.

Individual training:

Each dog receives daily instruction based on the selected program and its training needs.

Mental engagement:

Obedience exercises, environmental exposure, and command practice provide structured mental activity.

Follow-up support:

Aggressive Dog Training

For owners who prefer private lessons, Aggressive Dog Training is an eight-week program with eight lessons. It is intended for dogs with aggression or reactivity involving other dogs.

The program includes the Basic Obedience curriculum and additional lessons involving the dog and owner working around other dogs in different scenarios. It provides tools, skills, and desensitization techniques that may improve owner control.

Progress varies, and the program should not be represented as a guaranteed cure for aggression.

Basic Obedience

Basic Obedience provides four private lessons over four weeks. Its listed curriculum includes:

  • Come
  • Sit and Extended Sit
  • Down and Extended Down
  • Place and Extended Place
  • Loose-Leash Heel
