Private Training Options
Puppy Basics
Age 10 weeks to 5 months
Our Puppy Basics package is a comprehensive program designed to kickstart your puppy’s learning journey! We begin with a free 15-minute online consultation. Our personalized training will dive into typical puppy concerns like feeding schedules, potty training, crate training, and more. We’ll also delve into your pup’s unique quirks, funny behaviors, and any challenges you’re facing, ensuring a tailored training experience.
Our in-person sessions focus on foundational puppy behaviors and training techniques. Together, we’ll work on essential behaviors such as hand targeting, focus, sit, recall, and leash manners. But it’s not just about teaching your pup; we’ll empower you to think like a dog, fostering a lifelong bond built on effective communication and understanding. Private training packages typically meet one time per week in your home or an agreed-upon location.

Middle School
Middle School is the perfect step for young dogs who have completed the puppy basics and are eager to advance their training. In this program, we’ll build upon previously learned behaviors, enhancing them with distance, distractions, and duration to reinforce their reliability.
But that’s not all! We’ll delve deeper into training by focusing on behaviors such as heel, stay, wait, settle, and mat training, taking your dog’s skills to the next level. Together, we’ll refine these commands for a more polished and reliable performance in various environments and situations

We do the training. You do you.
Don’t have the time to carve out of your busy week for puppy training? No problem! That’s what Day Training was made for: We can do it for you. We will begin with a one-hour, in-person consultation. We will come to you and work one-on-one with your dog for three sessions a week. At the conclusion of each week, we will meet with you for a transfer session, to “download” what we are working on, so that you have the tools to continue the training process with your dog. Our Day Training program ensures your dog receives expert training while you manage your daily routine.
Let us handle the training while you focus on what matters most, setting your pup on the path to success! Set up a free 15-minute call now to discuss whether day training would be good for your puppy training needs
