What people have asked about this business.
How much do you charge for puppy training?
Hi Madison,
We provide two main options for training: in home lessons or board and train program.
In home lessons are once a week for 4 weeks to start. We have trainers based in Ponce De Leon, DeFuniak, and Crestview. The price is dependent on location starting at $125 per lesson.
Board and trains for a puppy are dependent on age. A board and train program is where your dog stays with our professional trainer and receives daily training. We would teach you through out and after what we are teaching your dog. This is $850 per week for 3 or 4 weeks depending on your goals and trainer assessment.
If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out directly at (609) 560-1126.
Best,

I enjoy every walk, every trip, every brewery, every steep mountain hike, rock climbing trip with my dog now because of her training with them. Board and train is necessary for busy dog owners to give the foundation to be successful on our own.
She is happy, calm, and now confident because of Above the standard. Last weekend she hiked with us past many dogs and didn't bark/lunge/growl like she used to. Then we went to a playground, and every kid hugged her and pet her and she enjoyed it calmly and gently.

We are so pleased with Above the Standard! They not only trained our quirky rescue, but they trained us too! The continued support after training was a pleasant surprise and gives me peace of mind that they are always available for any support I need. I appreciate their planned group activities that help my pup become more comfortable in social environments. Their attention to details and willingness to go out of their way to help us is greatly appreciated.

These guys are amazing. They had Sebastian for 4 weeks and gave him so much confidence. He has been home since the middle of October and they still check on us to make sure we are doing good. They go above the standards. 10/10

What can I say about Abovethestandard dog training? They are the absolute best! They live up to their name because they go above the beyond. We dropped off our sable workingline German Shepherd for board and training, they did amazing job fine tuning everything that our dog needed. And also trained us as well how to be a better dog handlers to keep our boy happy and satisfied all time. The next thing I would like to say is their customer service is absolutely unbeatable. I would recommend them to anyone who would like to be a better dog handler being able to have fun with your dog and train at the same time. Keep up the great work abovethestandard!!

Emily and her team are the absolute best of the best. She had my puppy for a board and train and we couldn’t be happier. Emily takes the time to answer any questions or concerns even long after training has completed. Emily took my dog back for a refresher a few years later when some life changes occurred (baby, new pets, etc) to help with the adjustment process and once again we were blown away. Emily is not just a trainer, she cares SO much about all of her clients and their dogs and is personally invested in them being happy. Jim and Jay and the rest of the team are also absolutely amazing. Have recommended at least 10+ friends to Emily and they have all been just as happy. Will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, kind, and exceptional trainer.
