Which program is right for you?
Do you have trouble walking your dog? The heel position helps with the dog's total mindset. Dogs in heel are relaxed and tuned into their handler. Dogs walking with their handler, at their pace, checking in for guidance, and ignoring the the busy happenings around them, are Calm dogs.
Board and Train, Three Week
$2950 (Our most popular program!) Real world training that actually works! No MAJOR behavioral issues like extreme fear, anxiety, or aggression. Consists of Total Off Leash reliability and Public Access Exposure. Dogs immersed in this program may be experiencing pulling on leash, jumping, counter surfing, nuisance barking, whining, and just plain not listening to you. This option is great for dog owners looking for top level obedience under high distraction, who are not dealing with any serious behavioral issues like reactivity, aggression, extreme fear, or biting.
Training includes Walk, Thresholds, Place, Kennel Up, Waiting for Food, Down, Sit, and Off-leash Recall. This program involves the beginning stages of Public Access work where your dog’s skills are tested in real world environments outside of the home.
We specialize in state-of-the-art, low-level, communication-style E-Collar training. This E-Collar program is nothing like you have ever seen, and is nothing like the E-Collar training of old. Contemporary E-Collar Training utilizes the softest, most gentle remote communication, and is one of the most humane and effective approaches to dog training available. Imagine the remote as an invisible leash, a form of off-leash communication. This is one of the most effective and humane training approaches available, and will offer the owner complete off-leash reliability. This program includes a 30-minute consultation on day 1, a 2-hour follow-up at the end of the program where we will carry over all of the training techniques needed for your continued success. *Cost of e-collar + prong not included in price, and will vary depending on size and coat of dog.
Depending on the severity of issues, additional weeks may be required. This will be determined early on in the board and train process. Additional weeks are $900.
Puppy Program , two weeks
$1950 — (2 weeks, In-Home, Basic Obedience). This program is designed for pups between 3.5-5 months of age. This package will lay down an introductory foundation to in-home obedience. While being immersed in 24/7 care and management, your puppy will learn how to walk politely on leash, sit, down, place, recall, potty, crate, proper play, no jumping, no counter surfing, waiting for food, and no mouthing. Public Access work is not guaranteed at this stage of the process. This program includes a 30-minute consultation on day 1, a 2-hour follow-up at the end of the program where we will carry over all of the training techniques needed for your continued success. *Cost of e-collar + prong not included in price, and will vary depending on size and coat of dog.
Behavior Modification & Rehabilitation, 4-8 week
$5550 for 4 weeks ** Each additional week $900 This package is completely tailored to you and your dog. Dogs immersed in this program may be experiencing behaviors that are serious such as explosive leash reactivity (severe barking and lunging at other dogs, humans, cars, bicycles, etc when on a walk), resource guarding, over-protectiveness, severe fear-based reflexivity, or separation anxiety. Dogs who display severe or debilitating fear, intense anxiety, or OCD behaviors are best served in the rehabilitation program. Additionally, dogs that are older than 2+ years will also require this level of training.
These are learned behaviors that take a great deal of time to address. It can take a few days, or up to a week for an aggressive, anxious, or fearful dog to begin to trust in leadership, rules, and boundaries–this starts by removing them from their environment and starting them on a fresh slate in a structured home, with a balanced pack. The length of time needed to develop new coping skills for things that cause them stress is far greater than the time needed to train basic obedience. Teaching your dog how to relax his mind requires repetition, proofing, and full exposure, 24/7, as they learn to reprogram what previously caused them stress.
Your dog will have a complete behavioral “reset” and will develop a CALM state-of-mind that will be transferable once you take over the training in your home. This program includes all that is addressed in the two-week program, and then moves into state of mind conditioning. This program includes a 30-minute consultation on day 1, a 2-hour Mid way training session to learn all things ecollar, and an additional 2-hour follow-up, off property, at the end of the program where we will carry over all of the training techniques needed for your continued success. *Cost of e-collar + prong not included in price, and will vary depending on size and coat of dog.
I really look forward to answering any questions you may have about our training programs!
**If you are experiencing behavioral issues such as dog on dog aggression, dog on human aggression, intense leash reactivity, intense fear related issues, resource guarding, over-protection, or separation anxiety, a full 4-8 week board and train will be advised for complete, intensive rehabilitation.**
