How It Works.

Step 1: Assessment

Our behaviorist works with you to determine why behaviors are happening and what we’re going to do to help resolve the problem. They’ll meet with you and your dog, conduct a detailed interview about your dog, assess your dog’s behavior and clarify your training goals.

Step 2: Action Plan

Following the assessment, our behaviorist will develop a customized plan to effectively train and/or modify problem behaviors. They’ll also recommend which of our programs is the best fit for your dog: our In-Home Training program, where we work with you and your dog in the privacy of your own home, or our Board & Train program, an immersive course during which your dog lives with our trainer for anywhere from three to eight weeks.
