The Basic & Advanced Obedience package expands on this with advanced commands and distraction training, potentially including field trips.

Board & Train programs offer immersive training where dogs board with a professional trainer, learning a range of commands and manners, including off-leash recall (goal-oriented, not guaranteed for all dogs).

Testimonials

“We recently adopted a German Shepherd and she knew some basic commands but needed some work on additional commands and recall. She was in the 10 day board and train program and came home a new dog and much more structured. Angela was fantastic and kept in contact every day with beautiful pictures and awesome videos of her progress. I would highly recommend this program to anyone needing or considering a training program for their dog.”
– Tanya McGraw

“Evan’s training with me and my Belgian Malinois, Rex, was excellent! Rex can be a wild handful, but Evan’s patience and love for dogs is helping turn Rex into a total rockstar. He got Rex’s energy right away and showed me simple, fun ways to keep him on point. Now, Rex listens like a champ and still has that Malinois spark! Evan made us click better than ever, and I’m so happy. If you’ve got a dog like Rex, Evan’s the guy to call!”
– Fell Fam

“Off Leash Trainer Angela McCavera did wonders with our very sweet but super lively 6 month old Border Collie “Ivy”. She was an uncontrollable jumper, terrible on a leash and would only ‘come’ when she felt like it. Ivy is now much more responsive to commands, heels well and walks nicely on a loose leash. She is still our loving and crazy girl but now she listens much better and is easier for us to handle all her energy.”
– Hilary Yanan
