How At-Home Training Works

Tell Us About Yourselves

Submit an online form so we can learn more about you, your puppy, and your training needs. We'll respond via email with next steps or provide a referral if applicable.

Meet Your Dog Trainer

We begin with an orientation to discuss your puppy training needs. Your trainer will build a training plan that targets your goals, provide educational resources, and prescribe solutions for you to start implementing.

Learn How To Train

We’ll meet weekly to teach YOU how to raise and train your puppy. You will learn how to set your puppy up for success and replace unwanted behaviors with new habits you both love. All sessions occur in the comfort of your own home.

Enjoy Life With Your Dog

You'll have the peace of mind of a more predictable life with your puppy. Plus, you will feel confident in your own ability to continue their training. If new goals arise, we'd love to help you reach them!

Orientations are priced at $200 and include a copy of our Puppy Primer guide ($100 value).

My shelter dog, Maggie, and I have learned so much thanks to Mike and Lisa. They taught me how to deal with behaviors like fence aggression which is no longer an issue! ~ Marilyn M.
