It addresses common issues like leash pulling, jumping, barking, and chewing.
The Set for Life Premium Program is a 2-4 week Board and Train program where the dog lives with a trainer, offering 24/7 training, personalized attention, and enhanced reliability, ideal for busy schedules. It includes Boarding & Training at a Trainer’s home, Weekday Training, Private Lessons, Pack Walks, and all training equipment and manuals.
The Walk Doctor program is a quick and simple solution for leash walking issues, comprising 2 Private Lessons, 2 Pack Walks, and a Training Manual, focusing on walk confidence and eliminating leash pulling.
