Mutts in Motion • 30-minute private lessons $55.00
A dynamic training program that builds a solid foundation for dogs of all ages while addressing common challenges like poor recall, leash reactivity, hyperactivity, and inattention. Using pattern-based learning and impulse control exercises, dogs learn to channel overexcitement, gain confidence, and feel more at ease. Patterns make it easier for dogs to learn and remember—helping them pick up new skills faster and remember longer sequences with less frustration. This approach taps into your dog’s natural love of structure, boosting motivation and creating more “I can do this” moments. This program strengthens leash-free reliability, helps prevent behavioral issues, and improves communication by teaching you how to interpret your dog’s body language. Enjoy a fun, engaging training experience that makes learning fun for both you and your dog!
Confidence Club • 30-minute private lessons $60.00
A personalized one-on-one coaching session designed for dogs of all ages and temperaments! Whether your dog is a curious puppy, a seasoned adult, or a senior needing enrichment, these sessions provide structured, confidence-boosting exercises tailored to their needs.
🔹 What is a Confidence Course?
Think of it as a fun, ever-changing obstacle course designed to build resilience and focus! Dogs will navigate fitness and agility equipment, balance on different surfaces, explore new objects, and work through challenges—all at their own pace. These exercises help nervous dogs feel braver, energetic dogs focus, and all dogs confidently handle new experiences.
Confidence Course | Leave and Learn is a structured drop-off program that helps dogs build confidence and independence. Over 10 one-hour sessions, dogs engage in tailored activities on our Confidence Course, addressing challenges such as unfamiliar environments, interactions with new people and dogs, handling and grooming sensitivities, and various physical obstacles. This comprehensive approach fosters resilience, alleviates anxiety, and promotes positive learning experiences.
Let us wear out your high-energy dog. Drop off your dog, and one of our trainers will work with your dog during their 30-minute treadmill session. Great for high-energy dogs, those needing extra exercise, or owners with busy schedules.
Behavior Modification • Needs support with human interactions $120.00
Dogs in this program have a documented bite history or have shown aggressive behaviors toward people, such as growling, lunging, snapping, or making contact with human skin. This behavior may be driven by fear, territorial instincts, frustration, resource guarding, or past negative experiences.
In partnership with the dog’s veterinarian, we develop a behavior plan that may include medication support and is tailored to the dog’s unique temperament, background, and environment. Our program is designed to reduce stress, shift emotional responses, and reinforce safe, appropriate behaviors.
Training is based on force-free methods and includes carefully controlled setups, proactive management, and positive reinforcement. Owners must agree to follow safety protocols, use long-term management strategies with only tools recommended by our trainers, and commit to practicing desensitization and counterconditioning at home. Each session is conducted by two experienced trainers to ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone involved.
GROUP CLASS • PUPPY PRESCHOOL (ages 8-14 weeks) $180.00
Puppy Preschool is a 6-week class for puppies under 15 weeks of age. In this series of classes you will work on building a lasting bond and how to communicate with your puppy. This course also addresses socialization, preventing common problem behaviors, building a strong training foundation for your puppy’s future, as well as developing essential obedience skills that will last a lifetime. Prerequisite: Any puppy between 8 and 14 weeks can join. To ensure your puppy’s immunity, we ask that you wait ten days after your puppy has its first set of vaccinations (usually around 8 or 9 weeks old) to start.
In addition to training behaviors like sit, down, stand and walking nicely on leash, First Grade teaches your dog how much fun it can be to work for you as we lay the foundation to learning more advanced training skills. In First Grade, we focus on establishing lines of communication between you and your dog. You will learn about dog body language and how to change challenging behaviors that are happening at home. You may be surprised at how readily your dog will want to learn new things.
Prerequisite: Evaluation or Instructor permission to enroll.
When you book a private lesson, that time is reserved just for you. If you cancel late or don’t show up, your trainer still gets paid for that time—because they were ready and waiting for your appointment. If you reschedule, they’re also paid for the new lesson. That means your original payment ends up covering two separate times, which leaves nothing left to keep the business running. While your trainer is taken care of (and we’re glad for that!), it’s hard on a small business when this happens. But now, instead of losing your lesson, you can keep your progress on track and reschedule for just $30!
*Good for any 30-minute private lesson such as Tutor Train, Mutts in Motion, or Confidence Club.
REBOOK • Evaluation or 60-minute private lesson • $50 $50.00

Herding breeds are smart, energetic, and always looking for a job! Without the right outlet, they can easily develop unwanted behaviors like excessive barking, obsessive staring, chasing, or herding everything in sight. That’s why we created Herding Dog Hooligans—a class designed for owners of young herding dogs.
In this class, we’ll channel your dog’s natural instincts into fun, structured activities that keep their body and brain engaged. Through games, challenges, and skill-building exercises, we’ll work on impulse control, focus, problem-solving, and cooperative play. Your dog will learn to work with you instead of following their instincts.
Whether your herding dog is nipping at heels, chasing everything that moves, or just needs a better way to burn off energy, this class will provide the mental and physical stimulation they crave. Join us and give your pup a job they’ll love!
