Behavioral Modification

Our in-home behavioral modification packages are designed to work through various “behavioral” struggles that impede a healthy human-dog relationship. These behaviors may
include reactivity (barking on leash or out window), leash pulling, aggression, fear/anxiety, resource guarding, and overexcitement.

In these programs, humans will learn the potential cause of the dog's behavior, how to better
communicate with their dog to create change, and have an opportunity to practice modification techniques with a trainer present. Various tools and techniques may be suggested to create the best result.​

Obedience (Puppy & Adult)

Our in-home obedience programs are designed to guide humans in becoming better trainers for their dog. These programs cover basic manners such as jumping behaviors, polite greetings, nipping, play styles, & potty training.

These programs also focus on obedience commands such as sit, down, come, wait, stay, take it, leave it, drop it, place, and loose-leash walking.

At the puppy level (under 6 months), we will focus on early puppy socialization, manners, and basic obedience. The importance of mental, physical and social enrichment will be discussed.
​
At the adult level (6+ Months), we will focus on reviewing or teaching obedience and manners with more distractions, distance, and duration. Humans will continue to learn the importance of reading their dog's body language and communicating clearly and consistently.
​
Included in both of these packages:

• FREE orientation lesson/consultation to learn about basic canine behavior and leadership skills.
• Six: 45-60 minute one-on-one lessons.
• Homework sheets either printed or emailed directly to you for easy follow-through.
• One FREE follow up lesson redeemable within 6 months of package completion. ​

*Based on one dog.

1:1 Training + Training Hikes

Our 1:1 training program is designed as a supplemental aid for dogs who are struggling with extreme anxiety, fear, overarousal, or socialization.

We understand that in some cases, the human may not be able to dedicate as much time as they would like to socializing or desensitizing their dog. Therefore, this program allows for a trainer to work directly with the dog to provide slow, yet consistent exposure to stimuli at a low level in order to aid with desensitization and coping skills.

Trainers will help dogs build positive associations with stimuli and communicate methods for reinforcement with the human.

These can also be scheduled individually as follow up maintenance training sessions.

​Included in these services:

• FREE consultation/evaluation to discuss your goals for training.
• Three- 60 minute one-on-one training sessions every week.
• Daily progress reports, photos and videos  access to daily text messages. 
• One FREE "Go Home" Lesson at the conclusion of the package to teach YOU how to continue working with your pup. 
• One FREE follow up lesson redeemable within 6 months of package completion.  ​​

*Based on one dog. Subject to availability 

Some of the tools we commonly use are:
•Treats
•Clickers
•No Pull Harnesses
•Prong Collars
•E-Collars
•”Yes” AND “No”
•BAT training
•TTouch
All training will start with an evaluation to discuss what is the best option for your dog. After the evaluation, we will work with you to develop a tentative training schedule. All training (except group lessons) will be performed in the comfort of your home and community, because that is where your dog will need to behave for you once training is over!
