Board and train  programs are intensive 2 to 4 week programs depending on the behaviors being addressed and the dogs learning style.  During this time they live in my home with me and my dogs and receive training throughout the day & night and are treated as if they're my own. Working on both obedience and behavior modification, board and training is a great way to jumpstart training and teach your dog new habits and good behaviors!    

My custom board and train programs address most behavior issues, such as, but not limited to fearful dogs, separation anxiety, nervousness, selective hearing, high energy, leash reactivity (lunging, growling, barking on the walk), pulling, jumping on people and furniture, nipping, chewing, mouthing (not biting), resource guarding (food, toys, humans), excessive barking, counter surfing, darting through doors, not listening, puppy obedience training and rebellious behaviors.
The basic obedience skills I teach include, loose leash and polite walking, sit, down/stay, place command (off switch), recall (come when called), out (drop it), waiting at thresholds, wait and ok, impulse control,  general house manners, and off-leash training.

The program includes a 90 minute lesson at the time of pick up where I will transfer all of the information, techniques, and strategies to you and help you integrate them into your lifestyle to ensure continued success.  I will do phone and text check-ins during the first week your dog returns home to help keep things on track and answer questions you may have. I offer on-going support and aftercare for my clients through phone, email, texts and in person sessions and look forward to supporting you and your dogs throughout their lives.

The first 6 months of a puppy’s life is a very impressionable period and the habits your form in this time tend to mold who they become.

If you give a puppy a great start, you can prevent most of the behavioral issues when they become adult.

My puppy program specifically addresses puppy issues such as, potty training, crate training, inappropriate chewing and biting and mouthing, socialization, leash walking, polite house manners,  food bowl etiquette, teaching to drop unwanted objects they pick up,  as well as all basic obedience commands.

The program  also includes a 90 minute lesson at the time of pick up where I will transfer all of the information, techniques, and strategies to you and help you integrate them into your lifestyle to ensure continued success.  I will do phone and text check-ins during the first week your dog returns home to help keep things on track and answer questions you may have. I offer on-going support and aftercare for my clients through phone, email, texts and in person sessions and look forward to supporting you and your dogs throughout their lives.

Be prepared and do a pre-puppy consultation! 

I will answer all your puppy questions and help you decide what you need to purchase and how to set up your puppy area.  When the puppy gets to your home you'll  have all the tools  and information you'll need to get  started!

I offer boarding to select clients who have been through one of my training programs or are currently in training with me.  all dogs are crated at night and have plenty of time to free play with their friends.  Long term boarding rates are available. Please contact me for more information.

I offer one on one lessons from my home or in your home (depending on your location). Single sessions and Packages are available.

These lessons address teaching obedience commands as well as correcting unwanted behaviors.

Whether you just want to address isolated issues such as leash walking, or are interested in a full obedience program these sessions can be tailored to fit your needs. 

My play/socialization groups are available for dogs of all ages that have been through, are in a training program, or are planing to start a training program with me.  Conducted in private yards that are completely fenced, these supervised groups offer your dog a safe, controlled environment to get some exercise  with their friends and a chance to practice their obedience behaviors with other well socialized dogs. They provide dog socialization for puppies and reinforcement of polite play and obedience behaviors.  

 Each session is 90 minutes long and we pick up and drop off for your convenience in the Brentwood, Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica areas.
