Inner Knowing Canine Connections

The 4 Day Intensive is an exclusive program where Tiffany works with one dog all day for 4 consecutive days, and trains the family each day. It includes a phone consultation, a detailed training plan, daily training videos, handouts, and follow-up in-home private training sessions. Tiffany dedicates herself exclusively to one dog per month for this program.

The Behavior Modification – 21 Day Program specializes in addressing aggression and reactivity using positive reinforcement, with a recommended minimum of 14 days and a suggested 21 days in board and train for thorough training. Board and Train programs range from 1 to 4 weeks, focusing on polite house skills, appropriate chewing, puppy mouthing, settling, and general good behavior. Dogs stay at Tiffany’s home on an 8-acre property, with training occurring 3-5 sessions a day. These programs include weekly updates, photos, a video of learned skills, homework, and an in-home follow-up session. Aggression/reactivity cases require a minimum two-week Board & Train, and longer programs include off-leash obedience and public training.

Private Training offers customized programs covering specific training goals, with Tiffany working with the dog and owner weekly for hour-long sessions at the client’s home, a park, or other public locations. The Puppy Training – 14 Day Puppy Program is a 2-week board and train exclusively for puppies aged 8 weeks to 6 months, focusing on socialization and positive reinforcement in a home environment, including field trips.
