Individual Sessions:
Training sessions are typically available within 2-3 weeks, and sessions are scheduled between 8am-5pm Monday-Friday on a first come first served basis. We offer 90-minute sessions for $200, and include a written summary, as well as videos of Aaron working with your dog if you'd like. All clients also receive an 11 page document outlining what we believe to be the most important ideas when training pet dogs.
Packages: Welcome To Bootcamp!
One of our most popular options, we offer week-long Bootcamps for $850. Bootcamps include daily 90-minute in-person training sessions for 5 consecutive days, Monday-Friday. We can record videos of your dog’s daily training so you can see your dog learn and progress right in front of your eyes. This can be a great option for clients who are not interested in joining every session, or for clients looking to save money on multiple-session packages. Bootcamps can be for any of the 3 in-person training services below (Puppy Training, Obedience Training, or Behavior Modification). If you are looking for a larger training package, we offer additional weeks after the first week, for an additional $750 per week.
We find that dogs learn best within the comfort of their own home, so we focus on private, in-person, in-home training, to work with you and your dog in a comfortable, well-known environment.

Puppy Training
Puppy training is an excellent way to help pups grow into behaviorally healthy adult dogs. We believe behavioral work during puppyhood is at the core of having the dog of your dreams, and we can help set them up for success with their life with you, with a puppy-plan individualized to your unique lifestyle. In our intensive puppy training program, our goal is to address everything you need to know about training and raising your unique puppy.
Topics for discussion and hands-on work include:
- Socialization
- Potty training
- Independence training
- Exercise
- Enrichment
- Basic obedience
- Veterinary visit and grooming preparation
- Optimal communication
- Building and maintaining a good relationship
- And setting appropriate boundaries, rules, and daily routines within the home
Whenever possible, we particularly enjoy working with puppies in their first few days within a new home, as this is an important and sensitive transition period for them, and doing so can help set them up for success before they can learn the things that you may later wish they hadn’t. It is our pleasure to help client’s and puppies on this wonderful and rewarding journey, please reach out today to schedule your first session with us!
Obedience Training
We provide you with expert help to create new trained behaviors and decrease unwanted behaviors, so that your dog knows what to do and what not to do. We focus on functional trained behaviors and clear communication, to help create harmony within the home and beyond.
Behavior Modification
Dog behavior work that focuses on aggression, anxiety, or fear-related problem behavior. We will work with you to create and execute a plan to help create more safety and a better quality of life, as well as a desensitization and counter conditioning behavior plan to help them learn what they need to in order to overcome these tougher behavior problems.
