Full Spectrum Dog Training for a Well-Rounded Companion

Full spectrum dog training is a holistic approach that treats your dog as a whole being, not just a pet. It considers their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

By training your dog in this way, you can build a stronger bond with them and help them become a well-rounded companion. With full spectrum training, you'll learn to recognize and respond to your dog's unique needs and personality.

This approach can be especially beneficial for dogs with anxiety or behavioral issues, as it addresses the root cause of the problem rather than just masking the symptoms. By doing so, you can help your dog feel more confident and secure.

Full spectrum training also involves teaching your dog new skills and behaviors, such as obedience, agility, and even tricks.

We work with all types of dog breeds, temperaments, and ages. Our training approach is tailored to each individual dog.

We use varying degrees of reward and correction to help your dog learn and grow. Whether it's a young puppy or a seasoned adult, our methods are designed to be effective and gentle.

Our baseline standards for every household include a foundation of trust, respect, and clear communication.

The board and train program is ideal for dogs with challenging behavior issues such as dog reactivity, people reactivity, or a history of fight or bite incidents.

This program focuses on obedience commands like recall, place, bed, heel, down, and stay, which are essential for a well-behaved dog.

The board and train program is structured Monday through Friday, with weekends spent at home to ease the transition between training and home life.

The program's success depends on the dog's behavior severity and previous history, so a tailored approach is taken for each dog.

Hands-on "go home" lessons are included to teach owners how to maintain their dog's progress and provide a smooth transition.

These lessons also help owners become more confident dog handlers by teaching them how to structure their dog's management protocols.

A free follow-up lesson is included with every board and train program to ensure long-term success.

Consultations are a crucial part of my training process, and I'm excited to share how they work.

I meet with you and your dog in the comfort of your own home, where we can discuss your dog's history, behavior, and quirks in detail. This session typically takes about 1 hour.

We'll work together to identify problem areas and come up with solutions, and I'll explain my training methods and philosophies so you can feel confident about making positive changes in your dog's behavior.

My consultations are also a great opportunity for me to get a read on your dog's behavior, and I may even use my own dogs to help assess their behavior if needed.

In-Person consultations are $100, and this session can also serve as a first training session if your dog is willing to take treats or play with toys.
