Training programs built around your dog

Two core routes, one standard of reliability. We recommend the right path after a free consultation by phone or online, then an in-person evaluation.

Program 01

Board & Train

Your dog trains daily with an assigned trainer, then we transfer the results to you.

Best for owners who want fast, consistent progress and a structured foundation built by professionals.

  • Two, four, or six-to-eight week programs, matched to the level of training
  • Daily structured obedience and impulse-control work
  • Controlled socialization and distraction proofing
  • One handover session plus three refreshers within a year

Minimum age 12 weeks, core vaccines completed. Availability varies month to month.

Program 02

Private Lessons

You handle your dog, session by session, with a trainer coaching you.

Best for owners who want to build the skills themselves and train in their own environment.

  • Sessions of 45 to 75 minutes
  • Packages of 4, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 20 lessons
  • At our Bloomington facility or at your home
  • Most owners see real change within four lessons

Starting now, no waiting list. Home lessons are included within 10 miles of the facility.

Everything we run

The full list of programs

Board & train and private lessons are the two routes above. Inside them we run the program your dog actually needs:

  • Puppy Training
  • Private Lessons
  • Basic Obedience
  • Intermediate Obedience
  • Advanced / Off-Leash Training
  • E-Collar Training
  • Board & Train Programs
  • Behavior Modification

Which one fits your dog is decided at the evaluation, not before it.

What we work on

Obedience, behavior and control, in that order of honesty

Off-leash obedience

Reliable recall, heel and place work built step by step and then proofed under real distraction, so the dog responds without a leash to fall back on.

Behavior & reactivity

Pulling, lunging, barking at dogs or people, door rushing, jumping and poor impulse control, addressed as behavior rather than as commands. Aggression cases assessed honestly.

Puppy foundations

From 12 weeks, once core vaccines are complete: early structure, socialization, house rules and handling, so problems never become habits.

High-drive breeds

Specialist work with driven dogs: Cane Corso, German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls, channeling drive into control, clarity and reliable obedience.

Pricing

Programs are quoted after your evaluation

Price depends on the program and on how much customisation your dog needs, so we quote it once we have met your dog. The first consultation, by phone or online, costs nothing and carries no obligation. The in-person evaluation that follows is typically $100, and it is what the quote is built on.

Private lessons are sold in packages of 4, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 20. Board & train runs two, four, or six to eight weeks.
