Their private lessons are 60 minutes long, structured as one lesson per week for 4 or 8 weeks, depending on the package. These lessons teach owners how to train their dogs, covering basic and advanced commands, and distraction training.
Board and Train programs are intensive, immersive training camps where dogs board with a professional trainer for 7, 10, or 14 days. These programs guarantee specific commands and aim for off-leash obedience in various environments, including high-distraction areas. They also offer free training refreshers for life for board and train clients.

Testimonials
“Not only is my trainer incredible at what she does, but her and her family are so so caring. I was a little worried at first about not getting to see my little pup, Mavis, for an entire week, but it was very comforting knowing that she was safe in good hands. Mavis is only a year old, part American staffordshire terrier & part bull dog. Unfortunately Bully breeds have a negative stigma and I didn’t want my sweet little girl to fall in that category. Mavis can be a little stubborn at times and so treat motivated to the point where it was like talking to a wall if I didn’t have treats. Thankfully my trainer immediately saw how sweet and loving Miss Mavis was and did a tremendous job in training her with total obedience. I’m so so so happy with the progress made with Mavis and can’t wait to show her off to the world.”

“We had our 7 month old heeler train with my trainer for two weeks. Before she left she had zero manners and was extremely timid of other dogs and people. The trainer not only trained our dog to do all the commands but she has so much more confidence now. We can hardly believe she is the same dog. She is so smart and wants to please. Our trainer did an outstanding job communicating with us everyday, but more importantly he did an exceptional job training our girl. Thank you so much for teaching her and giving her the confidence she should have.”
– Nik K.
“We sent our almost one year old golden retriever for the two week board and train. He came back to us with new skills but most important new self confidence.Our triner is an amazing trainer and so good at connecting with dogs. He has great insight into dog psychology and is very good with people too.He kept us in the loop during training and we had some great discussions about methods and why they work. He started the process of building self confidence in Ziggy and then gave me the tools to continue it so that he can live life to its fullest. There wasn’t a question I had that our trainer didn’t take the time to answer. Thank you so much for the great job.”
