Starting puppies off right can make a huge difference in the dog they grow into. Our Puppy Foundation program focuses on building confidence, structure, and positive habits during those important early months.
Puppies learn crate training, potty routines, calm behavior in the home, and appropriate social interactions. We also introduce basic leash skills and help them become comfortable exploring new environments.
The goal is to create a confident puppy who understands structure and is ready to continue training as they grow.
Our private lessons are perfect for owners who want to be actively involved in the training process. During these sessions, we work directly with you and your dog so you can understand the training methods, build confidence handling your dog, and learn how to continue progress at home.
Basic On-Leash Program
This program is a wonderful starting point for most family dogs. Together, we focus on building clear communication and structure so your dog understands what is expected both at home and out in the world.
Your dog will learn how to walk politely on leash, develop calm house manners, and begin understanding important boundaries like waiting at doorways and respecting personal space. We also introduce impulse control exercises like “Leave It” to help your dog make better choices in everyday situations.
By the end of the program, most owners notice a calmer, more attentive dog who is much easier to walk and live with.
Intermediate On-Leash Program
For owners looking to take their dog’s training a step further, our Intermediate program builds on the foundations of obedience while adding real-world reliability.
In addition to improving leash skills and manners, we begin working on recall and introduce training in more distracting environments such as parks or public spaces. This helps your dog learn that listening doesn’t only apply at home — it applies everywhere.
The goal of this program is to create a dog who can accompany you more places while staying calm, focused, and responsive.
Advanced Off-Leash Program
This program is designed for owners who want the ultimate freedom with their dog — the ability to explore trails, parks, and outdoor adventures with confidence.
Along with refining leash manners and obedience, we introduce off-leash recall training and e-collar communication when appropriate. This allows us to safely reinforce commands at a distance while keeping training clear and fair for the dog.
For dogs who struggle with reactivity or distractions, we also address those challenges in a structured way so your dog learns how to remain calm and focused even in exciting environments.
By the end of this program, dogs gain a higher level of reliability, confidence, and freedom.
Our Day Train programs are perfect for busy owners who want professional training help while still having their dog home each night.
Your dog spends the day training with us, learning new skills and practicing good habits. At the end of the program, we meet with you to show you everything your dog has learned and how to maintain those behaviors at home.
5-Day Day Camp
This short, focused program helps dogs learn the foundations of good behavior. During the week we work on leash walking, polite house manners, and basic impulse control skills like “Leave It” and respecting boundaries.
Many owners are amazed at how quickly their dogs begin to settle down and understand expectations with just a few days of consistent training.
10-Day Day Camp
Our extended Day Camp program allows us to build stronger obedience and reliability. In addition to the basic manners taught in the 5-day program, we expand training to include recall work and outings into real-world environments.
This helps dogs practice their skills around distractions and prepares them for everyday life with their family — whether that means neighborhood walks, trips to the park, or relaxing politely at home.
