Our Dog Training Services

Private Training Lessons

Private dog training provides one-on-one attention tailored to your dog’s specific needs. Our trainers conduct sessions in public settings rather than in homes, which helps your dog learn to behave around real-world distractions.

  • Customized training plans designed for all breeds, ages, and behavior types
  • Basic obedience covering essential commands such as sit, stay, come, and down
  • Advanced obedience training that builds on basic skills with more complex commands and off-leash control
  • Aggression-focused lessons addressing reactive behaviors safely
  • Behavioral consultations to help you understand why dogs behave the way they do

Behavioral modification involves customized training methods based on the dog’s pace, with techniques such as desensitization, counter-conditioning, and impulse control exercises, ensuring effective and sustainable behavior change.

Board-and-train programs typically involve dogs staying at a training facility for a set period, during which they receive intensive training from professional trainers. These programs are designed to address various behavioral issues and obedience training, allowing owners to focus on other commitments while their dogs are trained.

  • One Week Board and Train: Focused training for dogs needing foundational skills such as sit, stay, recall, heel, and impulse control in controlled, real-world environments. 
  • Two Week Board & Train: Our most popular program with comprehensive obedience training and lifetime guarantee support
  • 3-Week Behavioral Modification: Extended program for dogs with serious behavioral challenges, including a 2-3 hour owner education session at pickup

All board-and-train programs include daily updates with photos, videos, and messages so you stay connected with your dog’s progress. Board-and-train services often include a follow-up session for owners to learn how to maintain the training their dog received during their stay.

Customer Success Stories

Rated 5 out of 5

Latham, NY

We recently got our dog back from the two week board and train program with trainer Eric. Since getting him back our dog Rover has been perfect we are doing things that we never would have imagined being possible as in taking him on trips to the farmers market or even to the mall! During his stay we got daily updates and videos and at pickup we got a detailed explanation and demonstration of what to do at home to continue with training! What an amazing experience!

I have two large puppies, they were very high energy and together just refused to listen and were a nightmare to bring anywhere……

Thank you so much Eric, he took my puppies and turned them into well mannered puppies that listen to and respond to commands. No more pulling my arms out of socket, no more screaming or yelling and a ton less stress when bringing them out in public. I know I’ll be able to handle them. Best thing I ever did ! I especially liked the videos and pictures I looked forward to watching every day that they were not at home. Thank you again Eric.
