*This program is designed to provide extra help in your training efforts. We will work with your dog for a total of 1 hour, broken into multiple sessions, and is customized based on the behaviors that you need extra help with. The focus is on basic training such as not pulling on leash when walking, not jumping, SIT/STAY, DOWN/STAY, Go to Place, WAIT (for food and at thresholds), PLAYING with rules (give/release/please), LEAVE IT (don’t even think about going for that), DROP IT (immediately relinquish what is in your mouth). You will provide us with 1-3 areas you’d like help with, and when you pick your dog up, we will update you on how he/she did, as well as what you can continue to do at home.
Drop Off Day Training is not for serious behavior issues such as separation anxiety, severe dog reactivity, aggression, or resource guarding. If you are experiencing those issues, please schedule a private session with you and your dog.
IMPORTANT: Your dog must be comfortable being in a crate. When your dog is not working with a trainer, he/she will be resting in the crate. Sometimes, the trainer is working with another dog in the same ring and it’s important that the crated dogs are not barking or exhibiting any anxious behavior. If your dog is unable to do this, drop off day training may not be the right program for you. Consider a private session or group class instead.

“Basic 1 training was something I wanted to do for Rosie and myself to focus her attention more and build our trust/relationship.
