Start Your Training the Right Way

Most new clients begin with a Jumpstart Session. This focused one-on-one session allows us to evaluate your dog, understand your goals, and build a clear training plan for moving forward.

Rather than guessing which program is right for your dog, the Jumpstart Session ensures we start with the most effective approach from the beginning.

Our Training Process


1️⃣ Jumpstart Session
A focused private session where we evaluate your dog and begin working on the most important issues.

2️⃣ Training Plan
Based on what we observe during the Jumpstart Session, we recommend the most effective training path.

3️⃣ Ongoing Training
Most dogs continue training through one of the following options:

• Private Lessons
• Day Train Program
• Board & Train

Training Paths After Jumpstart

Private Training Lessons

Hands-on sessions where owners learn how to train their dog with professional guidance.

Day Train Program

Your dog trains with us during the day while owners receive structured transfer sessions.

Board & Train

An immersive program designed for dogs needing more intensive work.

IGP & Working Dog Training

Handlers pursuing IGP or working dog sport training may begin directly with sport sessions rather than a Jumpstart.

These sessions focus on development in the three phases of the sport:

• tracking
• obedience
• protection
