Day Training offers the most convenient and focused option for meeting your training and behavior goals.

With Day Training, we provide in-home dog or cat training, typically while you are away at work or out for the day. This approach allows your animal to focus fully on the Certified Dog Trainer, creating an ideal learning environment for hands-on skill building and behavior modification.

Day Training begins with an in-person consultation to discuss your dog’s current behavior, training goals, and household needs. As training progresses, additional goals may be identified to ensure meaningful, real-world results.

Following the consultation, the Certified Dog Trainer will visit your home five days per week for four consecutive weeks, working exclusively with your dog or cat. The goal is to make measurable progress within this structured timeframe. More intensive behavioral concerns may require additional training time.

After completing the Day Training package, 1–3 follow-up sessions are available to support skill transfer and help you confidently maintain progress.

Transportation fees may apply outside of direct service areas.

1-on-1 Training focuses on working with both the dog and their guardian, building skills together through guided, hands-on instruction.

This approach emphasizes active participation, with weekly homework assignments designed to help you practice and reinforce skills throughout the week. Because of this, 1-on-1 Training requires more hands-on involvement from the guardian than the Day Training option.

Training begins with a 6-Week Starter Package, offered at a specially reduced rate of $750 per package, or sessions may be scheduled individually at $130 per session.

As you and your dog build confidence and consistency, training may continue through our Intermediate Package, followed by the Advanced Package, to support ongoing growth and more complex behavior goals.

Benefits of Training with a Certified Dog Trainer

Build Confidence

Training builds confidence for both dogs and their guardians. By using clear, humane, science-based methods, we help guardians understand how to communicate calmly, consistently, and effectively.

Solve Difficult Behaviors Humanely

Challenging behaviors are often signs of stress, fear, or unmet needs. A Certified Dog Trainer addresses the root causes using humane, evidence-based training methods—without punishment, force, or fear.

Take Guesswork Out of the Equation

Professional guidance removes confusion and conflicting advice. Working with a Certified Dog Trainer provides clear structure, proven techniques, and a customized plan, so that you can move forward with full confidence.
