Four In-Home Programs
To Meet Your Specific Needs.

Training NOW! Program Program To Develop Control
Basic On Leash Program  Full Basic On-Off Leash Program
Custom-Designed  Programs

Training NOW! Program
Problem Specific Training
When Your Dog's Behavior Problems
Can't Wait For A Training Class.

          Similar to the Puppy Clinic, this is a 1 In-Home visit program to resolve relatively minor behavior problems.  Here, however, the dog is not a puppy but, rather, older than five months.

          During our one hour "IN HOME PROBLEM RESOLUTION SESSION" you will be shown the techniques to resolve any behavioral problems you are experiencing such as: jumping, chewing, barking, biting, housebreaking and other common problems.

        This program includes a preliminary phone consultation with the primary trainer to identify problems, a one hour in-home visit by the assistant trainer and free follow-up phone consultation when or if you need additional advise regarding behavioral problems.

NOTE: This type of training usually requires only one in-home visit. If you decide that you would like or need additional in-home visits., additional charges are payable in advance on a visit by visit basis.

Program To Develop Control
A flexible 4-visit In-Home Program

This is a 4 visit In-Home program designed to focus on serious in-home behavior problems involving an older dog.  Serious problems develop over a period of time during which the dog's behavior has gone "unchecked".

This program is frequently modified for people who want to obtain a head-start with some Basic Training Techniques but do not want the full In-Home Basic Training Course.  This generally involves learning the following commands and skills (On-Leash Training Only).

  • Walking On A Leash (without pulling)
  • Coming When Called
  • Sitting and Staying
  • Laying Down and Staying

Basic On-Leash Program
A 6-visit In Home Program

A structured program that involves six in-home visits (one hour each) and that includes all of the training described in Programs 1 and 2 above, and also includes the following commands and skills (on leash only):

  • Distraction Training
  • Heeling
  • Sit Stay
  • Down Stay
  • Stand Stay
  • Finish

Back To Top

Our Full Basic On/Off Leash Training Course
An 8-visit Full Basic Obedience In Home Program

This is a structured program that involves eight in-home visits (one hour each) and that includes all of the training described in Programs 1, 2 and 3 and also includes training in the same skills off-leash.   NOTE: This training Program requires that a fenced yard or similar enclosed area be made available to the trainer on or near the owner's premises.

Note: This program is the equivalent of our 10 week classroom course.  The reason the classroom course is 10 weeks and its In-Home equivalent is 8 weeks is because the classroom course includes an orientation class as its first class and a graduation ceremony as its last class, neither of which is needed for in-home training purposes.

Custom Designed Programs

We can design a custom program to meet your needs.  Examples of custom designed programs that we have designed are:

  • Litter pan training (small dogs only)
    Owners who cannot take their dogs for a walk because of physical restrictions benefit from training their dog to use a specially designed litter pan.
  • Socialization with other dogs
    Is your dog aggressive or overly friendly with other dogs?  We can "reprogram" him to interact in a mannerly way with other dogs.
  • Dog and kids
    Do your kids have trouble interacting with your dog.  We can work with the kids and pets to improve their relationship and develop a child-dog bond that will last a lifetime.
  • Aggressive behavior (primary trainer only)
    Is your dog unfriendly with friends, strangers, veterinarians, groomers or neighbors.  We can show you correction techniques for aggressive behavior and help your dog learn mannerly behavior and self-confidence when he interacts with non-family members.
  • Design your own program
    Tell us about your specific problems and we will design a program to met your needs.
