Day Train is designed to build toward off-leash obedience while addressing problem behaviors along the way. I pick your dog up, put in the training, and bring them home with guidance for you.
Work toward off-leash freedom and better behavior. Your dog trains with me and comes home after every session.
Additional travel fees may apply outside our service area. Results vary by dog and practice at home.

Both Foundations and Complete Day Training work toward off-leash freedom while addressing your dog’s problem behaviors along the way. Foundations builds strong on-leash skills as we progress toward off-leash work. Complete adds four more sessions over two extra weeks to reinforce that work around more distractions and in more places. That extra time is dedicated to proofing: helping your dog respond reliably in different places, with off-leash readiness assessed throughout the program.
Good training happens in shorter blocks throughout the day. Even two or three hours of actual training is a lot. More isn’t always better—dogs need breaks to rest and recharge.
At a kennel-based Board & Train, your dog may spend much of the time between training sessions in a kennel. A longer stay doesn’t necessarily mean more hands-on training.
With me, your dog gets the reps in, explores new places, and takes breaks outside when the setting and weather fit. The session includes training, outings, travel, and rest. Then they come home to chill with you.
You get to see your dog every night, and they keep the comfort of home. At drop-off, I teach you how to maintain what we worked on. We keep practicing together throughout the program so the skills carry into your everyday life. Need a hand later? We can schedule a 30-minute refresher.

Where would you like to take your dog? If your goal is to walk them comfortably in more places, a full day gives us time to practice in public places, parks, on hikes, and more. A half day keeps us closer to home, with practice mainly at nearby parks. The places we practice are where your dog learns to use the skills. If you want good behavior on hikes, in parks, or around busy public places, we need to practice in those settings. We build up to new distractions at your dog’s pace.
It depends on the behavior you want to address. For something simple like loose-leash walking or pulling, one session may be enough to teach the skill and show you how to keep it going. A program gives us time to work through most training goals and problem behaviors, with repeated practice in different settings. We’ll choose the plan around your dog and what you want to achieve.
Yes. All Day Training options include home pickup and drop-off within our designated service area. We’ll discuss your location and arrangements when we plan your training.
At drop-off, I show you what we practiced and coach you through the handling. Follow that guidance and practice between sessions to help your dog use the skills in everyday life. You also receive photo and video progress updates.
We can work on behavior issues such as leash pulling, reactivity, impulse control, and confidence. We choose settings and distractions that fit your dog and build at their pace. We can practice outside dog parks; we do not go inside them.
With Day Training, your dog comes home each day. Premium Board & Train is a separate residential option: your dog lives with me, my family, and my dog. You can join me on some days to learn and practice together. See the Premium Board & Train page for details.

Dogs are living individuals, and training results can vary. No specific behavior or outcome is guaranteed.
