For puppies 8 weeks to 6 months old

Start your puppy off on the right paw. The Puppy Foundations Program is designed to build calm, confident, well-mannered dogs from day one. We’ll focus on creating structure and good habits while keeping things fun, engaging, and rewarding — for both you and your pup.

What your dog will learn:

  • Introduction to leash skills
  • Basic obedience cues: sit, down, place, stay, come when called

  • Household manners and calm greetings
  • Proper play and bite inhibition

For dogs 6 months and older

The Foundations Package is built for adolescent and adult dogs who need to develop or rebuild manners, focus, and confidence at home and out in the world.

What your dog will learn:

  • Leash manners and calm walking in public

  • Impulse control around distractions (people, dogs, wildlife, etc.)

  • Obedience commands: sit, down, place, heel, come when called

  • Structured calm at home: no more jumping or barking

  • Confidence-building exercises for nervous or overstimulated dogs

For dogs ready to earn more independence

Once your dog has mastered the basics, it’s time to give them a little more freedom — the right way. The Freedom Package takes the structure and obedience learned in Foundations and expands it to include off-leash reliability, advanced recalls, and focus around real-world distractions.

 

This is where balance meets freedom — your dog learns to think, listen, and respond even when they’re not tethered to you.

What your dog will learn:

  • Off-leash communication using e-collar foundations
  • Advanced recall and boundary work
  • Distraction training in varied environments
  • Confidence and calm during high-energy situations
  • How to transition from structure to real-world trust

Why choose this package?

Because true freedom comes from reliability, not chance. This program is ideal for owners who want to enjoy hikes, park outings, and adventures without stress or shouting.

| The Freedom Package builds the skills that make off-leash life possible — safely, confidently, and with trust on both ends of the leash.

| Adventure Package

The Adventure Package is designed for dogs who have solid obedience and are ready to put those skills to the test in dynamic, real-world environments. From busy trails to public spaces, we’ll refine your dog’s ability to stay calm, focused, and responsive no matter where life takes you.

 

This is where obedience meets adventure — training for the dogs, and owners, who love to get out and go.

What your dog could learn:

  • Bike-joring (dog-powered biking)
  • Scent detection and tracking
  • Paddleboarding with your dog
  • Working through reactivity and behavior challenges
