Real world training that actually works. This is an elite program that will completely transform your dog into a lifelong companion you can enjoy to the fullest. For dogs older than five months of age with no major behavioral issues (fear, anxiety, aggression, etc.)
This is our most popular program! In this comprehensive program, your dog will stay with us for 3 weeks. Your dog will learn five basic obedience commands (Sit, Down, Place, Heel, Come) in addition to crate manners and general household manners. All of these commands will be heavily proofed under high distractions on and off property out in the real world. We will also address minor behavioral issues like jumping, counter-surfing, mouthing, nuisance barking, etc. This program is not for dogs who display more serious behaviors such as fear, aggression or separation anxiety.
During your dog’s time with us, we will build a foundation of obedience with your dog using state of the art training tools. It’s an intensive lifestyle program that is effective by immersing your dog 24/7 in a training routine which includes daily structure, rules, socialization, and appropriate supervised play. By living at our home for three weeks, your dog will develop a new foundation and state-of-mind that will make it easy for you to continue the training at your home.
The work will be documented with photo and video that will be displayed on our social media. For footage of dogs currently in our program, please visit Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.
On the final day, we will have a comprehensive go-home session with you and your dog, transferring all of the training and information over to you. We will also give you updates throughout the 3 weeks and a detailed go-home plan to maintain the training.
After graduating, your dog is welcome back at any time for boarding should you need it, as well as invited to our monthly pack walks in Downtown Frederick and Baker park. You’ll also be invited into our private graduate group on Facebook to connect with other owners and keep in touch!
