Training Programs

Every dog is different, but the goal is the same: a dog that is easier to live with, more enjoyable to take places, and reliable when it matters.

Our Board & Train programs are built around realistic training timelines. We do not rush dogs through training or promise results that cannot be properly taught in the time available.

Choose from focused leash manners, complete on-leash obedience, or advanced off-leash reliability.

Leash Manners

2 weeks - $2,000

Designed for dogs that need better manners, more structure, and a much more enjoyable walking experience.

This focused two-week program builds a strong foundation without rushing the dog through more training than can realistically be learned and retained in that timeframe.

  • Structured leash walking

  • Sit

  • Down

  • Crate manners

  • Foundation of place

  • Door and threshold manners

  • General structure and engagement

  • Basic impulse control

All training in this program is completed on leash.

This program does not include e-collar training, off-leash obedience, or advanced behavior modification.

Real-World On-Leash Obedience

4 weeks - $3,500

Our most popular program for families who want reliable obedience at home and in real-world environments.

Best for: Dogs that already need more than basic manners and families who want dependable obedience at home, on walks, and in public.

Real-World Off-Leash Obedience

6 weeks - $5,000

Our most complete training program for families who want dependable obedience with greater freedom both on and off leash.

Your dog first builds a strong understanding of obedience on leash before progressing into proper e-collar conditioning and advanced off-leash work. We do not rush this process. Reliability is built through clear communication, repetition, and gradual proofing around real-world distractions.

  • Everything included in our 4-Week Real-World On-Leash Obedience program

  • Proper e-collar conditioning

  • Off-leash recall

  • Off-leash heel

  • Off-leash sit, down, and place

  • Distance obedience

  • Advanced distraction proofing

  • Greater public reliability

  • Extensive repetition and generalization

  • Transition from leash control toward dependable off-leash freedom

E-collar work is reserved for this six-week program. We believe a dog should first understand the obedience being asked of them before electronic communication is introduced. Proper conditioning takes time, and we do not rush that process simply to produce faster results.

Best for: Families who want dependable on- and off-leash obedience, greater freedom with their dog, and the highest level of reliability we offer.
