How To Get Started
Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation about your dog’s current behaviors and your training goals to determine which program best fits your needs.
Health Requirements
Your dog must be up-to-date on vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella) and free from contagious illness before training begins.
Clear Goals
Think about what behaviors you want to address and what success looks like for you and your dog.
Time Commitment
Training requires consistency. For Play and Train, plan for daily drop-off and pick-up. For Stay and Train, your dog stays with us for the duration of the program.
Home Practice
We give you the tools and techniques you need to reinforce at home what your dog learns with us. This ensures lasting results and maintains their progress.
Owner Participation
We schedule hands-on training sessions to teach you the commands and techniques at the end of the program.
