In-Person Evaluation

All new clients begin with a phone consult or an in-person evaluation to assess your dog’s behavior, training needs, and goals. The in-person session allows our trainers to recommend the most effective training program tailored to your dog. For this reason, we cannot accurately quote you a price over the phone. Program pricing varies, we focus on creating the plan that is right for your dog, not offering a one size fits all solution.

Evaluation Fee: $150

This fee covers the time and expertise of our professional trainers and is credited towards the cost of any training program should you choose, ensuring you only invest in the plan that will deliver the best results for your dog.

Boarding

Boarding is available only to dogs that have trained with us or have graduated from one of our programs. These dogs remain under the care and supervision of a professional dog trainer, ensuring structured guidance, consistent direction, and advocacy rather than standard pet sitting or typical daycare.

To arrange boarding, please schedule an evaluation. We look forward to meeting you and your dog and helping maintain their training while you are away.

Relax and let us do the hard work! This is the most optimal method of getting results, from behavior modification, puppy foundations to teaching your old dog a new skill. Our proven practice will set your dog up for success in the right direction.

 After completion of our board and train program, you and your dog will have an orientation,  follow up lessons, reduced rate boarding and lifelong support from us. 

We will show you how good life can be with proper training AND a skillset that you can walk away with for the rest of your life.
