Loyalty Canine Services

Training programs include private lessons (2–3 days apart), intensive 2-week board and train packages, and AKC certification testing. Owners receive daily video updates during board and train, followed by a reclamation session to teach them how to maintain the training at home. Programs focus on basic obedience, behavior modification, and real-world application with distractions. Jerrid tailors each program based on a client intake form and individual dog needs.

Pricing Summary

Private lesson packages include a 5-lesson package for $600 over 14 days, and a 6-lesson package for minor behavior issues. Board and train programs are offered for 2 weeks with daily video updates. AKC testing is available as an add-on service. Pricing is transparent with no franchise markups.

Loyalty Canine Services is a dog training business owned and operated by Jerrid Cutter, a retired disabled Army veteran with over 6 years of professional dog training experience. Jerrid provides personalized, in-home and board-and-train services tailored to each dog’s needs, focusing on building trust and a strong bond before training begins. He offers private lesson packages, board and train programs, and AKC certification testing, with door-to-door pickup and drop-off service for convenience. Jerrid emphasizes owner education, sending daily training videos and follow-up support to ensure long-term success. He trains dogs of all ages and sizes, addressing issues like leash pulling, jumping, barking, fear, anxiety, aggression, and separation anxiety. His approach combines positive reinforcement with corrections when needed, and he uses tools like clickers, food rewards, flat collars, and e-collars. Jerrid also works with service, therapy, and working dogs, and his own certified therapy dog Theo and ordinance detection dog Tada are integral to his training process.

Loyalty Canine Services serves clients across Gloucester, Fredericksburg, Richmond, Williamsburg, and surrounding areas near Norfolk, Virginia. The business prides itself on transparency, personalized attention, and a “pack” mentality where owners feel supported beyond training completion. Jerrid has trained over 400 dogs and maintains strong client relationships through ongoing check-ins and reclamation sessions.

The business does not offer grooming, boarding, daycare, or pet sitting as standalone services, but board and train is included as part of its core training packages.
