Puppy Academy 1
For puppies under 5 months old.
Learn the foundations of raising a calm, confident, and well-adjusted dog. This class covers potty training, crate training, chewing, play, confidence-building, emotional regulation, and creating healthy daily routines that set your puppy up for lifelong success.
Puppy Academy 2
For puppies ages 4–8 months.
Move beyond basic obedience and teach your puppy to stay engaged, focused, and responsive in the real world. Using long lines and controlled freedom, you’ll build reliable recall, stronger communication, and the decision-making skills needed to prevent future behavior problems.
House Rules
Create a calmer, more respectful home by teaching your dog clear rules and expectations. This practical 3-week course focuses on boundaries and limits, helping prevent common issues like door bolting, counter surfing, jumping on guests, and attention-seeking behaviors while strengthening your relationship through consistent communication and structure.

The first step toward having a dog you can confidently take anywhere. Learn loose-leash walking, reliable obedience, focus around distractions, and the patience and impulse control needed for successful outings in public spaces.
City Dog 2
Build advanced public manners and reliability in distracting environments. This course focuses on impulse control, focus, and real-world obedience while in outdoor public spaces.
Nature Dog 1
The first step toward off-leash adventures. Using long lines, you’ll teach reliable recall, engagement, trail manners, and outdoor focus so your dog can safely enjoy hiking and exploring with greater freedom.
Nature Dog 2
