Proud Puppy Program
|
This program is for puppies 8 weeks - 6 months old. We'll address basic manners such as name recognition, tag, sit, down, stay until released, walk on a loose-leash, greet people/dogs politely, and emphasize bonding + socialization during this critical developmental period in their lives. We'll also nip any troublesome behaviors, like nipping and chewing or potty accidents, in the bud. This usually takes approximately 4 private sessions + a round of my puppy class (5 weeks).

Beloved Pet Program
|
This program is for dogs 8 months and older. We'll teach all the obedience and manners your dog needs to be a beloved member of the family and a pleasure to take out into the world. We'll learn everything in the Proud Puppy Program and at a more advanced level, but instead of socializing we'll learn sustained focus, leave it, drop it, fetch or similar game, go to your mat, door manners, heel on a walk, auto sit and settle when out and about. This usually takes 5 private sessions + a round of my CGC class (5 weeks).

Reactive Rehab Program

For dogs who are fearful and cower, or vocal and bark or growl at other people, dogs, or items such as skateboards, and sounds such as doorbells. We'll counter condition your dog's response while staying under threshold and then give them new skills to cope in a challenging world. This process can vary in time required, so we'll start with 5 private sessions + 5 Behavior Therapy Pack Walks. May require another round, depending on the severity of the behavior.
