Dog Training Programs
""...Val has been life changing for us and our anxious but loving dog..."
-Lisa G.
​
Our programs are designed so you can pick the one you want
based on your preferences
The biggest difference between our programs is how much time we spend together, and how much of the training we do FOR you.
You can choose how much direct help you prefer and how much time we spend with your dog.
The more time we spend together, and the more training we do for you through jumpstart days, or board and train days the more your dog will learn in a shorter amount of time, and the faster you will see results.
Some of our programs come with a year of additional support or lifetime support so you don't have to worry about reaching your goals or falling behind on training.

ELEVATE PROGRAM
Imagine if you could enjoy no-pull, chaos free walks with your dog and they actually listened to you on walks and around the house!
This program is great for people who want extra support during training, and therefore peace of mind reaching their goals around the house and out on leashed walks. I also work with just your dog for 2 bonus "jumpstart days" to speed up training so you have less work and can enjoy results faster!
Imagine if your dog could easily walk on leash beside you, rather than pulling you toward every person, dog, car, or squirrel around the neighborhood ?
Right now your dog may ignore you when you ask them to do something.
Let's say goodbye to that helpless feeling of being ignored by your dog!
Instead let's teach them to give their full attention when you want it so you can both walk more places more safely!
Imagine the freedom you could enjoy with your dog if you could go more places together and you could count on them to easily settle down, not pull you around, and listen to you.

This is our most popular program and is great for people who want to be able to take their dog anywhere to enjoy all their favorite activities together. It's also great for creating confidence so you can move past your training obstacles and feel certain your dog will listen to you no matter what;
Through a true and dependable connection.
I personally work with your dog for 3 board and train days to get your dog's training moving along faster and more effectively- saving you a TON of effort and training mistakes.
People love the results of this program because they are able to do SO MUCH MORE with their dog afterwards. They feel like they truly understand and can connect with their dog at a deeper level than they ever imagined!
Imagine if you felt confident that you knew how to handle your dog no matter the distraction or situation. Even if your dog became nervous, fearful, or over reactive. Imagine if you could invite people over the house without feeling embarrassed or worried about guests.
No more feeling helpless or embarrassed because your dog is ignoring you while you call for them, or pulling you towards another dog or person.
Instead people are impressed by your well behaved dog so you can feel proud and more deeply connected to your dog than ever!
