General Obedience

A Balanced Foundation for Real-World Manners

Our General Obedience program is designed to help your dog become calm, confident, and responsive in everyday life. Whether your dog is a young pup or an adult needing structure, we focus on building clear communication through marker training, engagement games, leash work, and reliable obedience behaviors.

Each session is personalized to your dog’s temperament and learning style, ensuring steady progress in real-world settings. We’ll teach your dog to listen and respond the first time—at home, on walks, and around distractions—so you can enjoy more freedom and less frustration together.

Training Focus Areas:

  • Marker-based communication (yes/no/continue cues)

  • Leash pressure and walking manners

  • Sit, Down, Come, Place, and Leave It

  • Doorway and household boundaries

  • Calm behavior around people and other dogs

This program builds your dog’s emotional control and your confidence as a handler—creating a partnership based on trust, clarity, and respect.

Available as:

  • Single Session – $125

  • 4-Session Package – $400

  • 12-Week Program – $900

Behavior Modification Programs

Rebuilding Trust, Confidence, and Control

Our Behavior Modification program is built for dogs struggling with more complex challenges—such as reactivity, fear, aggression, anxiety, or extreme overarousal. These behaviors aren’t “bad” — they’re communication. Our job is to listen, interpret, and guide your dog toward a calmer, more balanced state of mind.

Using evidence-based methods rooted in canine learning theory, we identify the why behind your dog’s behavior and create a structured plan that addresses both the cause and the symptom. Through clarity, consistency, and controlled exposure, we teach your dog alternative coping skills and help you, the owner, become confident in managing and preventing unwanted behavior.

Common Issues We Help Resolve:

  • Reactivity toward people or other dogs

  • Fear, anxiety, or confidence problems

  • Resource guarding and possessive behavior

  • Leash frustration and overarousal

  • Aggression or unpredictable responses

Every program begins with an in-depth evaluation to ensure your dog’s needs are properly understood and safely addressed. From there, we develop a custom training plan that combines structure, desensitization, counterconditioning, and balanced reinforcement to restore calm and trust in both dog and owner.

Available as:

  • Single Session – $125 (Evaluation Required)

  • 4-Session Package – $600

  • Customized Behavior Program – $1200+ (Based on Severity)
