How to Get Started!

To get started, clients can book a free initial session by calling or filling out a form. This free session takes place at their 6,250 square foot facility in South Salt Lake and includes a behavior evaluation, temperament test, a breakdown of their training method, and a first training session with the dog and owner.

Owners can also book a $100 assessment day, a full day of daycare plus time with a trainer, with feedback and a program recommendation at pickup. After either option, a custom-tailored training program is recommended and training dates are booked.

Their Training Philosophy

We are a school, not a boot camp. Our Inside-Out Dog Training Method starts with how a dog thinks and feels. We build focus through play, connection and impulse control instead of leaning on corrections. When a dog is calm and engaged on the inside, good behavior on the outside lasts. E-collar training is part of some programs, but it is always optional for the owner.

A Tough Case They Solved

Beau was a young rescue Pyrenees mix. He had never been properly trained or socialized, and he came to us with dog reactivity and anxious behavior. He spent 4 weeks in our boarding and training program with his trainer, Hali, who worked with Beau and also showed his owner how to keep his training going at home. In her review, his owner wrote that he is happier, calmer, and gaining confidence every day.

What New Clients Can Expect

Every start begins with a phone call so we can learn about your dog. From there you can book a free evaluation session or a $100 assessment day. The assessment day is a full day of daycare plus hands-on time with a trainer.

Drop off is 6:30 to 9 AM, and at pickup you meet the trainer for feedback and the program that fits your dog. Training programs start around $700. Every program includes daily report cards with photos, and every program carries our Dependable Dog Guarantee: your pup will reach their goal or we add sessions free until they do.
