What Classes & Programs Do We Offer?

 
 

Initial Assessment

Our first meeting, we meet both you and your dog. We all get to know each other, and we can witness first hand the issues you are working on.

Our trainers will bring at least one of their own dogs (if warranted) to work with.

We will talk equipment and what would work best for you to communicate and navigate your relationship with your dog.

You will be given homework to practice on your own while we create a customized training program to help you and your dog reach your training goals!

**An Initial Assessment is required before booking any other service.**

 

One on One Training Session

We are often asked “what is the difference between a training session and a pack walk?”

Easiest way to explain is a training session is for you, a pack walk is for your dog.

During a one-on-one training session we will be focusing on what you need to do to help be a calm, confident leader for your dog. You will be given the tools and techniques needed to help make your puppers the best version they can be.

We will focus on:

  • Body language

  • Thresholds

  • Redirection

  • Praise vs correction at the right time

  • Your energy

  • Equipment - which works best for both you and your dogs relationship

**You MUST have completed an Initial Training Assessment with one of our trainers, otherwise session will be cancelled**

Pack Walks

Bringing the dog park to you, but with a more controlled and structured environment.

Pack walks for your dogs socialization and manners with different temperaments.

While training sessions focus on you, pack walks focus on your dog. Both of our trainers who offer these have a diverse pack of their own personal dogs, which allows them to create the perfect pack walks for your dogs needs.

During these sessions, your dog is exposed and desensitized to balanced and less balanced dogs, which is exactly what happens in the real world!

Things we go over:

  • Proper Introductions

  • Manners & Energy

  • Proper Play

  • Disengaging

  • Balance

  • Corrections (giving and receiving), Praise & Reward

**You MUST have completed an Initial Training Assessment with one of our trainers, otherwise session will be cancelled**
