One-on-one training, tailored to you and your dog.
Personalized, one-on-one sessions built around your dog, using positive reinforcement and other force-free, science-based training methods. We work with puppies and adult dogs on foundational manners, nose work, focus and distraction work, and BH certification (Begleithundeprüfung, a companion-dog test of manners and reliability, and often a dog's first step toward advanced sport titles) — plus competition and sport prep for handlers and dogs ready to go further.
We also take on behavior modification cases, including leash reactivity, separation anxiety, and aggression (biting and non-biting alike), as well as foundational work for service dogs in training. Every plan is built around the individual dog and client in front of us — no two families need exactly the same thing. Scheduling is flexible — most clients meet weekly or bi-monthly, with monthly sessions for some behavior modification work, and bi-weekly available if needed.
For dogs who need more structure and support, our Training Academy program offers day training and Board and Train.

We don't offer general, open-enrollment group classes. When you train with us, you have our full attention for the entire session — not a few minutes before we move on to the next dog and handler. In a typical group class, we'd have to choose between slowing down for the dog and handler who need more support or keeping pace with the middle of the group and leaving someone behind. Working one-on-one lets us speed up or slow down in real time, so you and your dog are never bored or frustrated waiting for the rest of the class to catch up.
That said, if you and a few friends want to train together, we're happy to build a private group class just for you — friends tend to cheer each other on, which makes for a great training environment.
Training packages (non-behavioral) run 8–10 weeks and start at $500, with additional time available beyond that based on your goals for your dog.
Behavioral packages usually run 10 weeks and start at $800, depending on the specific issues and behaviors we're working through. For behavior modification work that calls for on-location sessions — at your home, or wherever the behavior shows up, such as around specific people, other dogs, or particular locations — travel is built into the course cost. How many sessions happen on location varies by case, anywhere from one or two visits up to the full course.
Military veterans, and Search and Rescue (SAR) handlers receive a 10% discount on all training packages.
