If your dog does not have behavior modification needs and you want more advanced on and off leash obedience or more extensive public exposure training than the 3 week program offers, this is the program for you.
If your dog requires behavior modification for moderate to severe behavioral issues this program is for you. Your dog will not only learn basic obedience in this program, but more importantly a change of mindset. While your dog will be learning basic on and off leash obedience and household manners, they will also be focusing on impulse control and de-escalating over-arousal for a calmer mindset. This program will give you and your dog a blueprint for how life should look post training to continue to improve your dog’s behavior at home with you. This program gives you both the opportunity to change old patterns and communicate clearly going forward.
