*The lesson pricing format is not preset. If you purchase the 4 pack, but later require the 6 or 8 pack you will only add the difference of the pack price rather than pay for 2 or 4 individual lessons. Same goes if you purchased the 6, 8, or 10 pack but require less, you will be prorated to the amount of classes actually used!
**due to the customizable nature and various different combinations of video analysis projects, we currently can't place all variations and combinations in a listed form.
***Unless otherwise noted, each lesson lasts about 1 hour.
What's more important, investing in your dog for a lifetime, or saving a few bucks? If you answered the latter, you may really want to contact us... It's not our fault...we are dogs, many untrained dogs. Many of my friends find other things to do during the day because their leaders/handlers never told them what was expected or demanded of them. Please train them so they can have a purpose while you are absent.
The super 2.5 is a one time 2.5-3 hour long training session where we cover the basics (Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Drop-it/Leave-it, and Out). It is designed to provide you the necessary tools needed to accomplish the basic commands in due time on your own. We will cover how a dog learns; how to teach and communicate with your dog; and how to establish leadership, structure, and routine without being physical! Training your dog, or as we prefer, "employing" your doggie takes time, patience, and persistence. We do not recommend this method unless you are willing and able to follow our instructions.
*includes 2 months of free over the phone assistance and 6 months of free assistance via email.

We also help you puppy proof your home and create your puppy's new living area. For more information, or to schedule your pre-puppy consultation, please contact us.

Refresh training is reserved for our previous clients that need an extra helping hand when phone or email assistant is not as efficient as a personal one-on-one. Refreshers objective is to physically analyze both you and the dog and create or reinforce a training plan. However, if your dog was previously trained by a different trainer, we will be happy to assist you if the method used is known to us. Fortunately, we never had a client in need of a refresh training. We keep this option open at a discounted rate to better serve you with more service options!
