More Training. Without Sending Your Dog Away.
Want more hands-on help than a once-a-week lesson, but don’t want to send your dog away for training? With Daily In-Home Training, your trainer comes to you Monday through Friday for a one-hour training session with your dog. Your dog gets consistent, one-on-one professional training while continuing their normal routine at home with you.
We put in the daily training and repetition your dog needs to make progress. We work on behaviors happening inside your home, build better obedience and leash skills, and take the training into the real world with outings and field trips. Your dog learns how to listen, stay calm, and make better choices where it actually matters.
And we don’t just train your dog. We train you, too. We’ll teach you how to communicate with your dog, use the training tools correctly, follow through, and continue everything we’ve been working on so you feel confident maintaining their progress long after the program ends.
What We’ll Work On:
Basic & advanced obedience
Loose leash walking
Staying calm around distractions
Unwanted behaviors
Confidence building
Proper socialization & neutrality
Off-leash skills*

We also tackle any specific behavior issues you're dealing with at home. When your dog comes back, you’ll see a happier, more focused pup—because we’re here to bring out your dog’s best self, and we’ll give you the tools to keep that transformation going strong.

Additional Services Offered
-
For Ruff Rules Graduates | $75 Per Night
Overnight boarding is available exclusively for dogs who have completed training with us and are e-collar trained. While your dog stays with us, we keep up with the training they already know. That means reinforcing their basic commands, structure, leash manners and expectations throughout their stay.
We don’t let the little things slide just because they’re boarding. The goal is to continue reinforcing the good behaviors you’ve worked hard to build, while your dog gets to stay with someone who already understands their training.

Our group classes are one hour long and packed with purposeful training. We focus on neutrality around other dogs and people, plus loose-leash walking—all through structured drills that challenge both you and your dog in a fun, supportive way.
Everyone in class is here to learn, grow, and support each other—so there’s zero judgment, just community. These sessions are a great way to fine-tune areas you’ve been struggling with while helping your dog's listening skills around distractions.
Classes often have 10 to 25+ dogs, and while that might sound overwhelming, it’s actually the ideal environment to build the calm, confident dog you’ve always wanted. This is exactly the kind of training that makes a difference—because your dog learns to succeed in the real world, not just in your living room.
Age Requirement: 6 months and Up
*Dogs must have prior training before joining our group classes. With so much going on, it’s not the ideal environment for introducing brand new commands. Instead, these classes are designed to strengthen your dog’s existing skills by building on distance, distraction, and duration—all using commands they already know.
