Sky Soldier Dog Training

Sky Soldier Dog Training offers two main programs: Private Training and Board & Train.

Private Training is an investment of $650 for five 50-minute sessions over five weeks. This program includes a custom training plan focused on basic obedience and behavior modification, expert one-on-one guidance, and studio sessions in a dedicated, distraction-free environment. It covers basic commands like sit, stay, down, recall, and heel, and addresses behavioral challenges such as jumping, barking, anxiety, resource guarding, and reactivity. Dogs with a bite history are eligible but may incur an additional $100 charge for safety precautions.

The Board & Train program costs $2500 per dog for a 14-day duration. It features personalized training focusing on five key obedience commands: Place, Sit & Down, Heel, Recall, and Implied Stays. The program includes two 1-hour go-home lessons and three refresher sessions within six months. For puppies under 6 months, up to four Stay & Train sessions are included. Training tools such as an Educator E-collar and prong collar are provided if needed. The program also offers daily structure, enrichment, photo/video updates, and a free e-book for continued success. Eligibility requires an in-person consultation, and enrollment is limited to two dogs per month for personalized attention.

Refresher Courses and Stay & Train sessions are available for current or past clients who have completed basic obedience training. These programs are designed for tune-ups, reinforcing skills, or addressing new behaviors. Stay & Train includes a structured routine with two training sessions, exercise, and rest, along with photo/video updates and a detailed report. Refresher Sessions are one-on-one to refresh commands and address concerns, with post-session support. Drop-off is 9-10 am and pick-up is 3-5 pm, with days varying based on availability.
