  Your dog must finish our Basic Obedience Package before we will teach them any advanced lessons! Advanced Obedience is $400 and includes 4 of the following lessons: “Come to Heel” command: your dog will walk around you and position themselves for an off leash heel on command. “Watch” command: Eye contact until released. “Through” command: Your dog will walk between your legs and sit. “Stand” command: your dog will assume a standing position on command (great for mobility support of conformation dogs). “Front” Command: Your dog will come and sit directly in front of you. “Touch” Command: Your dog will use his two front feet to "touch" anything you point to. “Directional” Sends: You can point your finger and your dog will go “place” on anything you point to, without you having to walk over to the object. · Listed price: [object Object]

  This includes the Off-Leash K9 Training E-Collar, a 15-foot leash, and FOUR one-hour lessons (taught once per week for 4 weeks). By the end of this package, your dog will be able to be outside, off-leash, with distractions while under complete control. Commands include the following: “Come,” “Sit,” and “Extended Sit.” “Down” and “Extended Down.” “Place” and “Extended Place.” (Your dog will sit on a location that you choose, like his bed, until released by you). “Break” Your dog is expected to maintain the command given until you give this release command. “Heel” They will walk right beside you, either consistently on your left or right side, either on or OFF the leash. “Off” is used to stop your dog in the act of jumping, counter surfing, digging, barking, etc. - if you can catch your dog doing it, you can stop it! **During classes we are teaching YOU how to teach your dog, so you will need to budget 45 minutes to 1-hour per day to practice between classes! · Listed price: [object Object]

  We keep your dog for 2 weeks and help them stabilize into the manageable family member they are capable of being! We pick your dog up at your front door step (as long as you live within an hour of the city) and we do ALL the initial teaching for you. By the end of their session, your dog will know all 7 basic commands included in basic, and you won’t need to go through the brain damage of teaching commands to them (or dedicating 45 minutes to an hour EVERY day for a month on training). During your dog’s stay, they will live with one of our certified trainers as if they were one of their own – going everywhere with them and working on desensitization to the things that set them off in the past! Your dog will go where our trainer goes, and you will get photo and/or video updates daily (so you know what they are learning and doing). At the very end, we spend 2 hours with you showing you how to maintain that training at home, but the also includes a lifetime support guarantee! · Listed price: [object Object]

  Autism can leave the world confusing and difficult to navigate for children and adults alike – which is where our Autism Support Service Dog Program comes in to help. Do you, or a close family member struggle with repetitive speech or movements? The inability to speak when overloaded by sensory input from what is going on in the immediate vicinity? How about the urge to get up and leave the room or area you are in (for different reasons that sometimes you can’t explain?This course will not only give your dog the ability to focus on you or an affected child and listen in all environments, but will also teach your dog to actively interrupt that repetitive speech or body movement, comfort you when you feel overwhelmed, and trail (using scent) an autistic individual that has left their caregivers without warning. This program can run $1300 – $2500 for classes, or $4100+ for a Board and Train and classes combination program.
