One of the biggest advantages is how quickly skills can be built and reinforced right in your own home and neighborhood, where your dog spends most of their time.
With our trainers, your dog receives clear, effective guidance from the start—tailored to their individual needs and your lifestyle.
Because we work hands-on with your dog 3x per week, we are building skills more quickly than a traditional coaching model of training, so that you can find real results more quickly.
You still learn the skills, too! We coach you via weekly transfer sessions on how to maintain progress so your results actually last.
Our "We Train for You" in-home dog and puppy training programs are ideal for:
- Leash reactivity (barking, lunging, or overexcitement on walks)
- Basic obedience & manners (sit, down, stay, come, polite greetings, loose leash walking, reducing nuisance behaviors, and building healthy habits)
- Nuisance behaviors at home (counter-surfing, chewing, escaping out doors)
- Puppy training (early obedience, socialization, crate training, establishing daily routines)
With consistent, structured sessions throughout the week, new behaviors can be learned quickly!
We Train for You training programs would not be appropriate for: Stranger-Danger (fear of strangers).
Dogs who are fearful of unfamiliar people often feel more comfortable when their owner is involved—creating a better learning experience.
We use positive reinforcement!
This includes:
- Focuses on reinforcing desired behaviors through rewards like treats, toys, and praise
- Clear communication and structure
- Meeting the emotional and physical needs of each individual dog (i.e. sleep, exercise, mental enrichment, stress reduction)
Our focus is on reliable, lasting results, not quick fixes.
