Board and Train Program
At the end of each program, the owner will be provided a video of their dog performing the individual tasks, a turnover session lasting approximately 1.5 hours to transfer those skills to the owner and one private in-home training completed within 3-5 days of going home.
Price: $2400
Each level of obedience in the Board and Train Program requires a 14-day minimum stay. Not all dogs respond to this type of environment, and we will do our best to determine within a few days if this environment is too stressful for your dog's learning. The dog will be welcomed into the home as part of the family. This is NOT a kennel environment. In that 14-day period, the dog will be taken out for training all day long. There will be breaks, as is natural in living throughout the day, but basically, your dog will learn to be a part of the family with manners and obedience that allow you to take your dog anywhere dogs are allowed. It will be up to the discretion of the owner and trainer if the dog is suitable for group outings at off-leash dog parks or hiking. I push the dog to whatever level they are capable of, but below gives you an idea of what to expect from training. If your dog is dog-aggressive or extremely reactive, these issues will be addressed along with obedience, but there isn't a guarantee that the dog will be suitable for group play at the end of the stay..

Day train program
Similar to the board and train program, but the dog does not come to stay with me; instead, I go to get the pup at your home. This program will be customized to fit your needs and schedule but will require that I spend at least 3 to 4 days a week for 3 or 4 weeks with your dog. It isn't as intense as the board and train program, but due to the extra drive time, the cost is essentially the same, and location is a factor. Pricing will be dependent on location and your needs.

○ Off-Leash Reliability: Living in Colorado means lots of opportunities for your dog to run free off-leash, from dog parks to hiking and camping areas. But if your dog isn’t reliable in these high distraction environments, off-leash play can turn into a headache or safety nightmare. Keep off-leash time safe and fun for both of you with off-leash reliability training.
Price:
○ Evaluation: $150. Some behavior issues are straight forward, others may need a professional to determine what is going on. A behavior evaluation consists of discussing the behavior as well as observation of the environment, the people and the dog(s), along with determining what is going on. A better training plan can be developed and management techniques can be implemented to keep the dog from practicing bad behaviors.
○ 4 Private In-Home Sessions: $560. Behavior cannot be changed or trained in a day. It takes repetition and consistency to effectively change behavior in any animal, human or dog. 4 sessions will not complete this change, but it should provide the tools to get you moving forward on your own.
