Programs

All three packages are in-facility private lessons. The 4 week Foundations Program covers basic obedience, loose leash walking, sit (auto-sit and on command), down and stay over four lessons. The 8 week Foundations + Off Leash Program adds furniture boundaries, quiet on cue, place, anxiety relief, vehicle and kennel conditioning, a responsive recall, jumping control, crate training, a "wait" at doorways, food etiquette and impulse control over eight lessons. The 8 week Behavioral Modification program is tailored to each dog to address aggression and reactivity, alongside the same core skills.
