We Train Your Dog in Your Home While You Work
Working 10-hour days? No time to train your dog? No problem! Our dog day training program can help!
We’ll come to your home, train your dog, and then teach you how to implement and maintain your dog’s newfound skills and behavior, so that your dog responds to you and other family members!
We’ll even keep you up-to-date with short video clips, so that you can see how well your dog is progressing. We can work with your dog whether you’re home, or working outside your home!
Dog Day Training is a Great Option for People with Busy Schedules
Enjoy a well-behaved, obedient, friendly puppy or adult dog without having to attend classes or do all the work yourself!
This program is the perfect solution for young, energetic, not-yet-house trained puppies, or for adult dogs that need basic obedience skills or leash training.
Programs May be Customized for Your Dog’s Individual Needs
Training may include core obedience skills, such as leash walking, sit, down, wait, come, attention training, fetch, and greeting manners. We can also focus on puppy issues, such as mouthing, chewing, nipping, and house training. We can even teach your dog how to behave nicely in your home!
Dog day training is the perfect choice for young puppies or adult dogs that need better leash walking skills and home manners. However, this program is not appropriate for dogs that demonstrate signs of severe separation anxiety or aggression towards people or dogs. If your dog is exhibiting signs of separation anxiety, is fearful, or is growling, barking excessively, lunging, or snarling at others (on or off leash), please considerprivate in-home instruction.
For help with basic obedience, please consider our board and train program.
We Offer 4 Programs, Each With Their Own Unique Focus:
All dog day training programs start with an in-home evaluation and consultation so that we can meet you and your dog, and find out specifically what you want us to focus on during our training sessions. We train your dog during the week, and at the end of each week, we meet with you to demonstrate your dog’s new skills, and transition the training to you!
The fee for the in-home evaluation is $135, and requires one hour. There is also a $25 evaluation fee for each additional dog in the home that requires training.
The purpose of the evaluation is to learn more about you and your dog(s). We need to observe your dog in his home environment, gather input from you and your family, fully understand your training objectives, and take a complete history prior to recommending any training package.
Loose Leash Training $695
Program Focus:
The focus of this program is to teach your dog how to walk nicely on leash without pulling, which translates into a pleasant and enjoyable walk for both of you. No more pitting your strength against your dog! You will finally have the control you need.
In addition, your dog will learn how to remain by your side (and only one side of you), which makes taking him on a walk a safer experience for both of you. He will also learn to pay better attention to you in the presence of distractions, and to wait politely for your cue when exiting the home or crossing streets.
Extra sessions may be added as desired.
