Solo Training Walks
$75
​
Is your dog struggling with focusing in public, settling in new environments, or getting enough socialization? Do you have specific training goals for your dog in public settings that you need help achieving? If so, our Solo Training Walks service is perfect for you.
This service includes:
A 60-minute solo training walk to a local location
These sessions will provide the necessary exposure and training to help your dog improve in various environments.
​
Some dogs (and humans) may need some private training sessions before starting solo walks in order to maintain consistent rules and boundaries in all parts of the dogs life.

Board and Train
$1400 a week
Is your dog struggling with things like leash pulling, reactivity, jumping, poor listening, or difficulty settling at home? Or maybe you have a puppy and want to build a strong foundation from the beginning. If so, our Board and Train program may be a great fit.
Board and Train allows your dog to stay with the trainer for a period of time while we begin building structure, engagement, and clear expectations for everyday behavior. Your dog will be working daily on things like leash walking, focusing around distractions, settling in different environments, and learning how to make better decisions.
This program includes:
A structured stay with daily training sessions focused on real-life behavior and building clear expectations for your dog.
Board and Train programs typically last anywhere from one week to four weeks, depending on your dog’s needs and what training has already been started. Two weeks is about average, but the length of the program will depend on your goals and what your dog needs help with.
It is recommended that owners complete at least three private training sessions before starting a Board and Train so we can all get on the same page with structure, expectations, and communication before your dog begins the program.
When your dog returns home, the program includes one private training session at pickup and one follow-up session about a week later. These sessions help owners learn how to maintain the training and keep the same rules and expectations consistent at home.
Board and Train can be a great option for many dogs. It works well for dogs that need a reset with their behavior, puppies that need a strong foundation, or owners who want help building a dog that can confidently join them in everyday life.
For many people, the goal is a dog that can go on hikes, walk nicely on leash, settle in public places, join you downtown, and comfortably be part of your daily adventures. For dogs that enjoy that type of lifestyle, Board and Train can be a great way to build the skills and confidence needed to make those things possible.
Some dogs may still benefit from additional private training sessions after the program to continue building progress and maintaining long-term success.
