Day Training
The hard part done for you
While everyone wants to live cohesively with their dog, not everyone has the time, skills (or interest!) it takes to get there. Day training leaves the nitty gritty to me (I love this stuff!) while still keeping you an integral part of your dog’s training journey
Prefer to come off the bench?
I’ll play the heavy minutes. You come in and play a smaller, yet vital, role in helping us meet our team goals. It’s a team effort!

What it looks like:
I come work with your dog for one hour 3 times per week; you don’t even need to be there! Then, we meet once a week for an hour so I can show you what your dog learned in that week, and how to keep it going.

FAQ’S

In the beginning stages, consistent rewards will be necessary to keep new behaviors strong. Just like us, dogs don’t work for free! After a robust reward history is built, rewards can become more intermittent. Also, rewards can come in many forms; food, toys, access to resources. As long as it’s motivating to the dog, it can be used to reinforce desired behavior.
