"Walking Coco was an event... If I encountered another dog, she would lunge and bark and snarl [...] and it wasn't even other dogs, it could be bikes or skateboarders. Then [Rich & Christina] came to visit and she has been a star. [...] So now she does well in doggie daycare too, she spents about five hours in a play group, sometimes as large as twelve other dogs!"
We work with all breeds, big and small.
This is a very common problem and probably the number one issue that we get dog stays there will it be all workthe distractions of other dogs. Since we have our personal dogs ranging in different energy levels and personalities, we start practicing with a mellow dog and build up the energy level to set you up for success.
After completing our initial three lesson program we offer extended individual lessons ranging from 30 or 60 minutes depending on what you would like to continue to work on.
You will need a 6' leash and proper footwear (close-toed shoes with a backing). If your dog is a picky eater you can bring some of their favorite treats as well. If your dog is human aggressive, you may be requested to bring your dog on a muzzle depending on the severity. Please no flexi-leads.
We welcome anyone over the age of 8 who lives in the household. It is great to be consistent with your interactions and you can all learn together.
Our board and train programs have a lifetime support guarantee. This means free follow up lessons, phone and email follow up. For our Private Lesson Program we offer extended lessons as well as email follow-up after completion.
We will work on teaching your dog to be calm in the presence of other dogs. We do not offer direct interactions with our personal dogs due to their safety and comfort.
We do not offer a discount for an additional dog in the board and train program. We still have double the work and it takes double the time to teach each dog.
Absolutely not. We like to make training fun. During down time your dog will get individual attention and play time.
At this time we are not offering group classes.
We accept cash, credit card, checks, and paypal.
Our lifetime support guarantee for our board and train programs mean that you are able to bring your dog back for free follow up sessions for as long as you have him. This could mean next month or 10 years from now. We are also available for phone and email support as well. In order to get the lifetime support guarantee there are a couple things that need to be completed on your part. We require a phone call within the first week that your dog goes back home as well as a follow up sessions within the first month. If things are going well at home, we may not require a follow up session, but that must be a joint agreement between the trainers and the family.
