Maybe you hate to admit that you are a little ‘in over your head’...
"I wish I never got a dog!”
"I wish my dog would listen to me!”
"I wish my dog wouldn't jump on everyone!”
"If he would just stop pulling me down the street, I would walk him more often!”
So, you want some help, but don’t know what your options are? Read on!
Families love these programs because the training is faster, easier so that you can enjoy your dog more and with less stress. These programs will save you time and effort, because it makes having a well-behaved dog more convenient and gives you peace of mind along the way through your training program.
The biggest difference between our programs is how much time we spend together and how much 1 on 1 time we have with your dog! The more time we have (and the more time we spend with your dog 1 on 1), the faster and easier the training is and the farther along your dog will be sooner. Another difference is how much long-term support is included so you don’t have to worry about your dog’s training slipping over time.

PROGRAM 1


"I Wanna Hold Your Hand"
Right now, your dog is jumping all over everyone and embarrassing you, causing all kinds of chaos at home… they know lots of commands but they don’t always do them in REAL EVERYDAY life!
You wish things could be more calm… you want to have fun with your dog, but getting them to listen to you really well has become a big chore.
This program is perfect for families who have new puppies or newly adopted dogs that maybe have a bad habit of pulling on lead and jumping on people. You want your dog to have nice manners at home and enjoy being part of the training process, then this is the program for you.
We will meet together every week, and we’ll teach you how to continue and maintain your dog’s training between lessons. We’ll be there to hold your hand the whole way so that you never get stuck!
This program is typically completed in about 6 lessons. Here are some of the awesome things everyone loves about this program that your dog will learn:

Look at you when you say their name ONCE.

Leash walking without pulling you down the street.

Come when called, instead of chasing the cat or your children around the backyard.
Emergency "Come" for when someone leaves the gate open too long. Yikes!


Jumping up - rather, NOT jumping up on people.

Leave it - 'don't pick up that piece of garbage on the sidewalk', or your favorite shoes!

Go to your spot/rug/mat/bed and lie down. Some people call this, 'Settle'.

Included (if you need it!): potty training, crate training, chewing/mouthing.
Also included:
Written handouts, instructions and notes from your trainer along the way to help keep you on track between lessons.
Phone or video chat support between lessons if you ever get stuck.
All training equipment included.
*“Day-Training” Programs*
(Training with AND WITHOUT you!)
These programs include 1 on 1 training for your dog while you’re busy! We’ll also train YOU so you never have to worry about your dog only listening to your trainer.
Training your dog doesn't have to be a chore. Let's face it, carving time out to train your beautiful pooch is time away from fun things.
Your busy life, time with friends and family, work and events keep you on the run and feeling like there's never enough time in the day. These programs were made for you, perfect for your schedule!
This is where we step in! We’ll train your dog quicker and easier than you would be able to on your own, which means you can scratch 'train the dog' off your list.
Your work schedule and commutes and cooking and shopping and family time and all your responsibilities in life take up your whole day! Wouldn't it be nice to have help finally getting this out of the way?!
During the day while you are busy at home (or while you’re out at work or running errands, depending on your preference), we’ll train your dog for you.

PROGRAM 2


"All That and a Bag of Biscuits"
You’d love to have a dog that listens to you and has great manners at home, but you’d also love to get a huge jumpstart on the initial training! Save time, effort, energy and get more freedom with your dog even faster.
After your dog’s initial training, we’ll teach you how to continue your dog’s training to be reliable in a variety of situations.
This day-training program means we will work with your dog for 2 weeks (Monday-Friday for about an hour each day) to help you have a calm, well-mannered dog.
Most families want their dog to learn to be calm and pleasant indoors, and walk nicely on lead in your neighborhood… but keep their personality! It's embarrassing to be the one on the sidewalk being watched with a wiley dog. But we don’t mind. We’ll do the embarrassing part for you. We love helping dogs learn and we love helping people get the dog they want in their life.
Here is what you get with the "All That and a Bag of Biscuits" program:
-
2 weeks of Day Training (we’ll come train your dog 1-on-1 for at least an hour each weekday, saving you tons of time and effort while you’re busy!)
-
Look at you when you say their name ONCE. If your dog won't pay attention to you, you'll need this!

LONG TERM SUPPORT: 3 months of support after the completion of the program, so you don’t have to worry about getting stuck! We’ll chat or meet up if you need some extra polishing.
The "All That and a Bag of Biscuits" program gives you ease of training because you reap the benefits when your time is limited due to work, family and other constraints. You will not need to carve out a chunk of time to do the initial training yourself. Because your dog lives with you, you will still get to spend quality time with your dog. And who doesn't want a better-behaved dog to enjoy?
PROGRAM 3

"What more could you ask for?"
Right now, you’d love to be able to live your busy life while not having to watch your dog every second… you don’t have time and you’re not sure how to keep your dog from jumping on your kids’ friends and stealing their shoes.
And when there are distractions around, forget it! You don’t exist anymore!
This program gets you even farther, faster, with less work! This program includes more 1 on 1 training time with your dog so they will listen to you in even more situations sooner (like when you have people over or when you’re out in public)!
This program is perfect for the dog owner looking for the absolute best, fastest and most enjoyable training experience… AND never have to worry about your dog’s training slipping over time since this program includes our Lifetime Support Guarantee!
We’ll help you make sure your dog has great manners and reliability both indoors, outdoors and all around town, which means you can take your dog with your family on a hike, to the beach or on vacation because they are well-mannered… they actually LISTEN to you instead of having their limited attention diverted by everything else!
This program is completed in about one month and includes 1-on-1 training with your dog while you’re busy, and 1-on-1 training with YOU.

What are the benefits of having someone else do the work for you?There are many benefits, not the least of which is peace of mind, knowing that training your dog doesn’t have to take up so much time in your day-to-day life! You can just practice during your normal interaction with your dog rather than scheduling “training your dog” into your calendar. You don't have to be bothered with worries like, "How do I teach my dog to lay down and stay while I cook dinner?” "Do I need to get rid of this dog, are they just the wrong fit?” "When will he catch on?” "Am I doing it right?” "Is this the right treat?" "Ugh! Why won't he just listen!?" We’ve helped literally thousands of dogs and their owners who already struggled with training their dogs on their own. Videos online and books get you started, but it’s normal to get stuck along the way! It’s not your fault, that’s why we’re here. You might be wondering exactly how many more long walks will it take before your dog doesn’t drag you down the street anymore? We’ll make sure your dog walks nicely with you, without pulling, and then you’ll get praised by the neighbors for how calm they are! So, make everything easier for you and let us do the hardest part for you… the initial training.
-
What are the benefits of someone else doing the heavy lifting?The benefits speak for themselves when you consider the time necessary to train your dog. Your time is valuable and you might feel that spending tons of time trying to teach your dog some house manners isn’t quite what you signed up for when you got a dog. Having someone else do the job for you frees up your time AND gives you the enjoyable dog you imagined having. Imagine your dog sitting nicely for petting instead of jumping up on everyone… and walking down the street next to you instead of dragging you. We can take care of that for you!
-
What kind of results can I expect?You can expect reliability, consistency and peace of mind when visitors come over, or taking your dog on a walk. No one wants their dog to jump on people when they come over, especially children or older folks. Walking your dog doesn't have to be a chore if they learn to walk without pulling. You should be able to enjoy walking your dog. Simply put, the results you want are the same results we want for you. Everyone deserves a dog that keeps their joyous personality, but LISTENS at the same time!
-
But will my dog listen to ME?Yes! Because we will meet together so you can learn what your dog has learned, so that there is an easy transfer of manners with less work and less time.
