Our Board and Train programs involve your dog staying in our home for a specified period, receiving intensive training in a comfortable and familiar environment. This approach allows for consistent, round-the-clock training, leading to effective behavior modification and skill development.

What are the differences between the 2-week and 4-week Board and Train programs?

• 2-Week Board and Train: Ideal for dogs requiring foundational obedience training. This program focuses on basic commands, leash manners, and addressing minor behavioral issues.

• 4-Week Board and Train: Designed for dogs needing comprehensive behavior modification or advanced training. This extended program covers all aspects of obedience, off-leash reliability, and addresses more severe behavioral challenges.

All Board and Train programs are conducted in our home in Molalla Oregon, providing a nurturing and controlled environment. This setting helps your dog feel secure, facilitating better learning and adaptation.

Our Day Training program offers structured sessions where you drop off your dog for a set period each day. During these sessions, your dog receives focused training, enrichment, and exercise, returning home afterward.

• Duration: Day Training involves daily drop-offs, while Board and Train requires your dog to stay with us continuously for the program's duration.

• Owner Involvement: Day Training allows for daily reinforcement of learned behaviors at home, promoting active owner participation. In contrast, Board and Train provides intensive training with less daily owner involvement during the program.

Private Training offers personalized sessions tailored to address specific behavioral issues or training goals. Conducted one-on-one, these sessions focus on both the dog and owner, ensuring effective communication and training techniques.

I offer private lessons based on what makes the most sense for your dog and your goals. For reactive dogs, we may work in public spaces where we can control the distance from triggers. If you're addressing in-home behaviors, I can meet you at your home (depending on your location). I travel within 45 miles of Molalla, Oregon, for private training sessions to ensure we’re working in the right environment for your dog’s progress.

We offer various packages to suit your needs, including single sessions for targeted issues and multiple-session packages for comprehensive training plans. Each package is designed to provide flexibility and cater to your specific objectives.

Our Virtual Training program connects you with our expert trainers through online platforms, allowing you to receive guidance and support from the comfort of your home. This option is suitable for both reactive and non-reactive dogs.

• Regular Video Sessions: Engage in scheduled video calls with a trainer to discuss progress and address concerns.

• Access to Resources: Gain entry to a community of dog owners and a wealth of training materials through our dedicated app.

We accept Venmo, Zelle, Stripe, and cash. Cash payments receive a 5% discount. To reserve your first appointment, a $35 deposit is required in advance—this helps us hold your spot and protects against no-shows or last-minute cancellations.
