More about my training programs:

“From Chaos to Cooperation”

In this program I work with dedicated owners to turn young, energetic, out-of-control dogs into cooperative and controllable companions.  My approach uses play and the dogs motivation to teach clear communication and important lifestyle skills. It creates a relationship where the dog WANTS to work with you & not against you — where the dog sees you as the coach, the referee, and the teammate.

We focus on:

• Leash walking manners— without the embarrassment, frustration, or danger you might be experiencing now

• Improving your dog’s overall listening skills — goodbye stubbornness and selective hearing

• Putting an end to problem behaviors—for good, not just in the moment

• Basic obedience commands like:

  • sit

  • stay

  • drop it

  • lay down

  • come when called

• Getting cooperation in the face of excitement

  • The ability to come when called — even around squirrels

  • Dropping an item from their mouth — without chasing them around the house

  • Ending a game of fetch because you said so — no matter how bad they want to continue

After this program you’ll no longer be embarrassed to take your dog in public or worried to host friends and family in your home. Together you’ll benefit from the purpose-filled relationship you build that extends far beyond treats, toys, your dogs adorable looks and their sweet cuddles. You’ll have the confidence and capability to handle any situation—without second-guessing yourself, and a dog that willingly follows your lead. The chaos that once filled your evenings will be a thing of the past.  You won’t just experience peace in your home—you’ll feel it within yourself and in the connection you share with your dog.

“From Puppyhood to Partnership”

This is a modified version of “From Chaos to Cooperation,” to accommodate all things puppy. This program helps rambunctious puppies transform into well mannered, fun, young dogs.  Together we’ll cultivate games with shared goals that develop a focus and an overall stable dog later in life. Your pup will learn foundational skills like sit, stay,drop it,lay down and come when called. We’ll also cover the essentials of house/potty training, crate training,leash walking, and how to curb puppy nipping/biting and other naughty behaviors like jumping up.

You’ll get real answers and guidance about socialization— the big looming concept everyone says is so important but few truly understand. Dogs are social and emotional beings that require the right experiences at young ages to develop properly. Navigate this period correctly and you’ll have a dog that is easy to take into public. “From Puppyhood to Partnership” alleviates the overwhelm and allows you to enjoy your puppy. I recommend starting this program within the first couple weeks your puppy comes home.

“Operation Off-leash”

This is reserved for approved advanced applicants only. Recall and relationship are the two biggest concentrations during the program. If you are interested in hiking off leash, visiting dog friendly beaches, exploring wide open fields, and/or participating in other outings where running free and fulfilling your dog is part of your daily lifestyle, please email Jordan to apply for this program.
