Private Lessons start off at our location where we begin to lay a clear foundation of communication with your dog. We will demonstrate and give you a chance to practice as well. Between lessons you will continue to work on the training with your dog to make further progress. Eventually we take this training out into the real world. We will meet you at any place for distraction training within a 20-30 minute drive from our location whether that be a park, your home, or anywhere else which we deem beneficial in the training process. Further description below.
We provide 4 & 5 week options where your dog stays with us in an intensive Zen lifestyle training program that looks to totally shift your dogs state of mind so you can truly begin to enjoy life with your dog. While your dog is with us, you will be learning as well!! As you work through the client homework modules and follow your dogs progress on our Instagram 'stories' you will come to understand how to build the same relationship that we do- a relationship founded on clear communication and expectations. Further description below.
This is our phone/virtual private lessons option. With your specific goals in mind we will coach you over the phone or video calls via FaceTime or Zoom. Not only can we critique your technique but we can demonstrate with one of our dogs so you have an even better understanding. We can also help guide and support you into how to create the structured lifestyle we recommend which helps to achieve a state of mind shift in your dog. With any of our services you get access to our client homework modules/videos which will help educate and guide you in between our consultations . Further description below.
We are Canine Good Citizen Evaluators and can offer this service within a private lesson or as part of your Board & Train Program . Please ask us for more details during our initial consultation.
We offer short term or extended boarding for all dogs that have trained with us. Our clients often refer to this as summer camp when they drop their dog off, yet we offer it all year long. Not only is this a great refresher to your dog's prior training with us, they also have tons of fun as we make sure they get lots of engaging activities such as pack walks, bike rides, training sessions and socialization with other dogs that we have in our care.
Also worth mentioning, our accommodations are unmatched- from orthopedic crate pads to triple filtered water your dog is cared for in the best way we know how...with genuine care and loving leadership.

5 Lesson Package $ 750
(5) 60 minute lessons
This option is packaged with just enough lessons to teach the basic foundations of our training which creates clear communication with your dog. We also will give you the guidance and support for creating structure in the home which gives your dog a great understanding of your expectations so that your dog can begin to make more mindful choices and become a well balanced member of your family. You will learn how to train your dog in basic obedience as well as how to reinforce boundaries. This option does not allow many (if any) real world outings to work on distraction training; however, it certainly gives you the guidance and communication to get out there and test your dogs skills yourself. Be aware that there is a saying in dog training .."all training goes out the window when we introduce distraction" so if you want to give your dog(s) more freedom and include them in your life more often we must include working on distraction training in which case you may want to purchase our most popular option- the 7 lesson package where we can hold some of those lessons in areas with distractions that are best suited for your dogs struggles.

7 Lesson Package $ 1,050
(7) 60 minute lessons
This is our most popular private lesson package. We teach all of the same foundation of obedience and yet so much more can be achieved with the additional lessons because we can get out into the real world where the distractions are plentiful and put your dog's new found skills to the test.
This package is intended for all dogs from rambunctious puppies to hard headed seniors and any array of behavioral struggles in between. in these lessons, your dog(s) will come to an understanding that their choices matter, we will implement impulse control, and show your dog how to be polite around people. In addition, through the distraction training you will become confident that you can invoke your dogs focus on you even around other dogs and triggers that once sent them reeling. This package is also for any dog in need of a solid on and off leash obedience foundation. It is not for dogs with serious behavioral issues such as high anxiety, severe fear, or aggression of any kind. For that type of behavior modification we recommend our Be Most Zen Package.
9 Lesson Package $ 1,350
(9) 60 minute lessons
Time is the greatest tool in dog training. The extra lessons in this package provide us the time to guide dogs through behavioral problems without pushing them too soon. Exposure therapy is going to be paramount in the rehabilitation process so these extra lessons are a must for any dogs with serious behavioral issues such as severe anxiety, fear, or aggression. Please keep in mind that when we expect too much before our dog is ready for the challenge it puts undue stress on the dog, sets us back in our relationship, and causes your dog to be more hesitant to trust in your leadership. So when the foundational training is complete and our dog is up for the challenge that is when we will meet in real world settings such as parks, hardware stores, restaurants, coffee shops, or anywhere else we deem beneficial in the training process. We want to make sure our dog has the basics down, understands our expectations and communication, and is receptive to our guidance when we start the exposure therapy where we put them into situations they have struggled with in the past. We have seen amazing transformations along the way when everyone stays committed to the process.
Private lessons training tools and equipment… Training tools such as slip leads, long lines, training collars, marker sticks, leashes, and place cots may be necessary in the training process. For your convenience we have all the training tools your dog might need on hand; however, the cost is not included in the price of the private lesson packages.
We want you to enjoy the best life with your dog and we know how to help you achieve that through this transformative process. Can you imagine having a relationship with your dog that is built on clear communication & expectations? Can you imagine being able to include your dog in your life more readily? Think for a moment of what that would mean to you.
With simple exercises and games that teach your dog impulse control and establish you as a leader worth following, our training method teaches you and your dog mindfulness and transforms your relationship into something you never even thought possible.
We want you to have all the professional grade tools we love !!!

We always make sure each dog understands all the forms of communication that we teach as well as having a true foundation of trust that way they are receptive to our guidance when we put them into situations they have struggled with in the past. Each dog has a unique personality and distinctive needs. We are able to evaluate and adjust our approach accordingly as we get to know your dog more fully during the course of the program. This extra time allows us to rehabilitate anxiety, fear aggression, resource guarding, and leash reactivity. Additional weeks may be recommended at $850 for each additional week beyond the 5.
