Haggerty Dog Training offers phone consultations, group classes, and private lessons, including in-home and “out in the real world” sessions. Phone consultations include a free 10-minute discovery call to assess needs and provide recommendations, or a paid 1-hour coaching session.
Group classes consist of a six-week Basic Obedience Skills course where dogs learn loose leash walking, sit-stay (3 minutes with distractions), down-stay (5 minutes with distractions), go-to-place, and come when called. This course includes a Graduation Guarantee, allowing dogs to repeat the course at no extra charge if they do not pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen test.
Private lessons address a wide range of issues from basic obedience to complex behavior problems such as aggression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, hyperactivity, and housebreaking. These programs come with a Lifetime Support Guarantee via email, text, or call, and a Bonus Training Day for a free refresher session at any point in the dog’s life. A day school program is also mentioned as an intensive option for more challenging cases like aggression, providing continuity and faster results.
