Our Method
We offer a positive approach to training and behavior modification.
Our positive and consistent training methods produce results. We teach owners of all skill levels the ability to train their dogs basic manners, gain control, and build a lifelong partnership. We encourage clicker/marker training with your best friend and reward good behavior with treats, praise, and/or toy motivators. We also work with you to establish consistent boundaries to curb unwanted behaviors. We don't shy away from the hard cases. We understand how dogs learn and what motivates them.
Private Lessons/Training
Offered at our location or yours within a 15 mile radius. First lesson includes a 30 minute consultation, thereafter, the rate is per hour. Prepaid packages are available to overcome specific problems or training issues.
Whether you have a full schedule, cannot commit to a weekly class, or your dog has a behavior that is best addressed in a private lesson - we can help! Extremely fearful dogs who lack socialization, reactive dogs who will disrupt a class, anxious dogs who struggle to be left alone, and aggressive dogs who may present a danger to other dogs or owners are better suited to private lessons. Private lessons are also beneficial to those who want more individualized time with a trainer to work on their training goals. We will let you know what kind of time commitment will be necessary to solve the issues to the best of our ability during our initial consultation.
Residential Board & Train Packages
For those who prefer us to train their dog for them. We know time is not in abundance these days with careers, children, family activities, and other obligations, etc. We can often teach dogs more quickly, effectively, and with longer lasting results because we understand how dogs think and learn.
Whether its due to a time constraint or lack of ability, we will train your dog for you! During residential training, we are able to remove dogs from current stimuli and create a productive learning environment. We teach through consistency, repetition, and reward without outside distractions. Examples of behaviors we have rehabilitated include dog aggression, fear biters, abuse cases, stool eating, separation anxiety, destructive chewing, obsessions, jumping, chasing cars, leash pulling, excessive barking, crate anxiety, and aggression, even biting. We start all dogs from the foundation, and use positive methods such as counter condition, redirection, and exercise to solve even the hardest cases. We know how and when to time discipline to correct promptly and move forward.
We offer 2 week or 4 week residential training for adult dogs here at our facility. Your dog will be taught a daily routine, get plenty of exercise, learn to be socialized with other dogs, and be worked with on the training program we discuss and tailor to them with your input during our initial consultation. At the end of the training we will have a lesson with you on what the dog has learned, and how you continue on from there.
Day board
We can take your dog for the day and work with them for an hour while you are at work, or otherwise engaged with other things. It is possible to have a trained dog, and a hectic schedule!
We will help you leash train, socialize, housetrain, or correct problem behaviors like jumping, nipping, barking, or pulling on a leash. High energy dogs can also benefit from a day school lesson to engage their problem-solving skills. Cost includes potty breaks and all day care between the hours of 7am-6pm weekdays. If your dog is already enrolled here for doggie daycare, an hour long training lesson can easily be fit into the day by reservation.
To get started, book a phone consultation or lesson at the farm so we can talk about your goals and establish a plan and schedule.
Group Classes
Group Classes are available for puppies and adult dogs. Learn in a group environment with other owners at your same skill level. Your dog will benefit from the social atmosphere and distractions. You will benefit from the camaraderie between owners, who embrace your struggles and celebrate your success with you.
We create a laid back and friendly environment for all of our classes. Whether you’re looking to get started with the basics for your new puppy or adult dog, are looking for something to do for fun with your high energy dog, or are hoping to compete in performance sports, we have a class for you!
