Adult On-Leash Basic Obedience

Off-leash safety and long line training so your dog listens at a distance, covering all basic-obedience behaviors without a physical hold on the dog and recall training. Great for hiking dogs or people with e-fences or large properties. If your dog is not on a long line, I do require them to be e-collar trained.

Day Training
Your dog has 3-6 hours with the trainer independently over a minimum of three days each week, while training in various public environments and doing the heavy lifting of teaching. Once a week there is a skills transfer session of the new trained behaviors to the owner. The program is meant to accelerate training and fine tune behaviors to exceptional levels. This is a great program for those with busy schedules who may want to have someone else expedite the process and you enforce it at home.

Dog will be assessed at end of initial three weeks (or desired starting amount) with trainer for skills comprehension and determination of whether day training should be continued or moved into private sessions only. Weekly private sessions will be scheduled for skills transfer to occur. Travel fees typically between $7-$28 / day do apply. Please contact for more detailed information.
Two - Hour Pick Up and Train
$135 / day
