Training

Calm, confident obedience built for real life. Most programs run 12–16 weeks depending on the dog. Service work is held to higher standards — because real environments don’t forgive “almost.”

WHAT TRAINING FOCUSES ON
  • • Leash manners + engagement
  • • Calm focus around distractions
  • • Consistent obedience (not “sometimes”)
  • • Neutrality in public environments
Programs are customized to the dog, but standards stay high. We don’t rush reliability.
PROGRAM 1

Puppy Raising

Ages 10–16 weeks. Foundations before “real training” begins — structure, calm routines, handling tolerance, early focus, and guidance that prevents bad habits from taking root.

Includes: calm handling, early leash habits, focus games, boundaries, settling, and gentle exposure done correctly.
PROGRAM 2

Basic Obedience

Real-world obedience for everyday life. We focus on reliable behaviors with calm execution — not frantic compliance.

Focus: leash manners, engagement, impulse control, sit/down/come, calm greetings, and reliability around normal distractions.
PROGRAM 3

Advanced Obedience

Higher reliability, harder environments, stronger proofing, and longer duration work — for dogs that need to be solid, not “good enough.”

Focus: stronger recall, extended stays, neutrality, advanced leash control, and consistent performance in challenging places.
PROGRAM 4

Service Dog Training

Public-access reliability and real-world behavior standards — including calm, controlled positioning (e.g., under the table in a restaurant), and neutrality around distractions.

Focus: public manners, settle, neutrality, impulse control, stable obedience, and consistency in real environments.

Diabetic Scent Training

This is a specialized program and begins after a dog has completed the training pathway above (stable behavior + handling + reliability).

DURATION
12 weeks
STANDARD
Consistency + proofing
GOAL
Reliable alerts in real life
IMPORTANT NOTE

Diabetic scent work is not a “starter program.” If a dog needs additional foundations first, we’ll recommend the right program — because the dog’s stability and the handler’s safety come first.

If you’re not sure where your dog fits, start with an evaluation. We’ll map the pathway clearly.
