Wondering what program is right for you and your dog?

We recognize that every dog is different and so are their people. Because of this all of our training programs are customizable and all of our curriculums can be modified to work with you and your dog on specific and individual goals.

If you are just looking to touch up on some obedience, focus on one or two things, and have a lot of time to dedicate to your dog we recommend our basic program.

If you are looking for a more in-depth training experience, starting with no skills or have a laundry list of training goals then the plus or advanced programs will be a better fit for your dog. The advanced program with training boost sessions is best if you have a busy schedule and need some extra training time for your dog.

Still not sure which program best suits your dog? We are happy to give our expert guidance during your consultation process to help you choose the right training program.
