Dog Training Fundamentals

 

Dog Training Fundamentals is a unique program designed for owners who want their dog to have leash manners, and functional results when it comes to an off-leash recall as well as a rock-solid down/ stay. This training program also includes teaching everyday manners and addresses behavioral problems.

​

Dog Training Fundamentals PLUS - Increased Manners, Control & Functionality

 

Our Dog Training Fundamentals PLUS program is designed to add what we consider to be two of the most useful commands your dog can learn. The addition of these commands are extremely beneficial, especially around family, friends and guests invited into your home. We consider Dog Training Fundamentals program to be the essentials. In turn, Dog Training Fundamentals PLUS contains two of the most useful of commands. Only to be outdone by our most comprehensive program: Life's an Adventure - Prepare for it.

​

Life's an Adventure - Prepare for it!
(our most advanced dog training program)

 

Life's an Adventure is our most comprehensive dog training program to date. It provides all of the training in our Fundamentals, and Fundamentals Plus training programs, while adding additional exercises like the formal heel and "Mazi" command which instructs a dog who is off-leash to remain within a 15 foot radius. The heart of this program is for dogs to obey under extreme distraction, sabotage and under adverse conditions.

PupStart: Dog Training for Puppies

​

For owners wanting early training, and coaching, we offer two training programs for puppies: Preschool and Puppy Kindergarten. These are designed for puppies less than 16 weeks old. For most puppies 16 weeks old, or older, we recommend our adult training programs like Fundamentals, Fundamentals Plus and Life's an Adventure. Naturally, for puppies entering our adult training programs we adapt our approach to their age, personality and development. Sometimes these training programs are broken into phases, depending on the puppy's development.

​

Options for Dog Training Programs

​

Once a dog training program is decided upon you need to choose in which "classroom style" do you want your dog to learn. The options include Board and Train and Day School. If you choose our Board and Train option may have the option to pay an additional fee for "home care" (your dog going home each night with a staff member).​ Home care spots are limited.

 

Next Steps: Phone Consultation or Evaluation

​

First, do feel free to call us at any time. We are always happy to answer questions. As far as knowing what to do next, we suggest bringing your puppy in for an evaluation. The right program really is dependent on your dog's age, personality, make up of drives, your desired outcome and present behaviors. You may benefit from our PupStart programs, or you might just need a little coaching until your puppy can enter a comprehensive program.
