Puppy Jump Start – Early Foundation & Prevention
Early structure, foundation, and prevention during critical developmental stages
​
Puppy Jumpstart builds structure, calm behavior, and consistent routines during your puppy’s critical developmental window — before bad habits form. This program focuses on creating a solid foundation of good manners, confidence, and responsiveness that will set your puppy up for lifelong success.
​
Available for puppies 12 weeks to 5 months old who are current on age-appropriate vaccinations.
What’s Included:
-
Customized training plan tailored to your puppy’s temperament and developmental stage
-
Crate conditioning and daily routine establishment
-
Potty training foundations and consistency protocols

Engagement and marker training for clear communication
-
Early leash skills and calm walking foundations

-
Socialization exposure in controlled environments
-
Handling desensitization and body awareness
-
Prevention of common puppy problems (jumping, mouthing, counter-surfing)
-
Owner education session with management strategies
-
Written training summary and continuation plan
Important to Know:
-
Two weeks provides a strong foundation, but puppies are still developing — continued training at home is essential
-
Potty training requires owner consistency after the program to maintain progress
-
Puppy behavior will continue to evolve through adolescence; this is not a “one and done” solution
-
Early training creates good habits, but adolescence (6-18 months) may require additional support

Core – Foundation & Structure
For beginner dogs and mild behavioral challenges.
​
Level One builds foundational obedience, impulse control, and calm behavior for dogs who need structure, consistency, and clear communication. This program is designed to establish reliable on-leash household manners and create a framework for ongoing success with owners who are committed to maintaining the work.
​
This program is ideal for dogs learning basic obedience for the first time, or those with mild behavioral challenges like pulling on leash, jumping on guests, or lack of impulse control.
What’s Included:
-
Customized training plan based on your dog’s temperament and goals
-
Foundational obedience (sit, down, place, come, heel)

Engagement and focus-building exercises
-
Leash manners and loose-leash walking
-
Impulse control training (door manners, polite greetings, waiting)

On-leash reliability and real-world exposure
-
3 follow-up private sessions

Important to Know:
-
This program builds the foundation, but owner consistency is required to maintain results
-
This is an on-leash program — off-leash reliability requires Level Two or Three
-
Mild behavioral challenges can improve significantly, but deep-rooted issues may need Level Three
-
Training creates structure; your follow-through sustains it
Behavior Assessment:
Optional. If your start date is weeks out, the assessment lets us begin shaping behaviors early and identify any concerns that may require additional support or a different program level.
Eligibility:

5 months or older
-
Current on vaccinations

Physically healthy for daily training

No known serious aggression toward people or animals

Freedom – Advanced Obedience & Off-Leash Reliability
Advanced obedience and off-leash reliability for dogs with mild to moderate behavioral issues
​
Level Two builds on foundation work and progresses dogs toward off-leash reliability and real world responsiveness using e-collar communication. This program is designed for dogs who need higher-level obedience, behavioral support for mild to moderate issues, increased distraction proofing, and the freedom that comes with reliable off-leash control. This program is ideal for dogs who have completed foundational training (or naturally have solid focus and impulse control) and are ready to advance to off-leash work, or for dogs with mild to moderate behavioral challenges like leash reactivity, frustration-based behaviors, or arousal issues that need structured work and reliable control.
What’s Included:

Customized training plan tailored to your dog’s goals and behavioral needs
-
Advanced obedience reinforcement (extended duration, distance, distraction)
-
Off-leash reliability in varied environments
-
E-collar conditioning and layering for clear communication

Behavioral support for mild to moderate issues (reactivity, arousal, anxiety)
-
Confidence building and environmental stability

Multi-handler consistency for dependable performance
-
E-Collar included
-
5 follow-up private sessions
-
Owner education for maintaining off-leash reliability and managing behaviors
Behavior Assessment:
Optional, but recommended if behavior concerns exist (reactivity, anxiety, arousal-based behaviors). If your start date is weeks out, the assessment lets us begin shaping behaviors early and ensures this program is the right fit.
This Program Is For:

Dogs ready to progress beyond basic obedience to off-leash reliability
-
Dogs with mild to moderate behavioral issues (leash reactivity, frustration, arousal, mild anxiety)

Owners who want responsive, dependable performance in real-world settings
-
Active households needing dogs who can handle outdoor adventures safely
Important to Know:
-
Off-leash reliability requires ongoing practice and reinforcement at home
-
E-collar training is a tool, not a replacement for relationship and engagement
-
Behavioral progress depends on consistency and management at home
-
Some dogs with more complex issues may need Level Three for full stabilization
-
Training creates capability; owner consistency ensures long-term success
Eligibility:
-
8 months or older
-
Current on vaccinations
-
Physically healthy for structured training

No prior training required — dogs may enter Level Two directly

What Level Two Is NOT:
-
Not a behavior modification program for severe aggression, deep anxiety, or bite history
-
Not for dogs with serious behavioral instability requiring intensive rehabilitation
-
Not passive training — owner follow-through and practice required
