Choose the Training Program That's Right For You

Private Training

Our personalized, one-on-one training is our most effective course. Your pup will get their trainer's undivided attention without any distractions, and the training will be tailored to their needs, skills, and personality.

Group Training

Our group training classes include up to 8 dogs, so your dog will benefit from socialization while mastering new commands. Plus, you'll get to meet other pup parents yourself.

Online Training

Our flexible online training is our most budget-friendly, and since the video sessions are just like private training, it's also highly effective. You'll get to train when and where you want, and work at your own pace.

A Well Trained Dog Means

Less Stress & A Deeper Bond

Enjoy Walks Without Pulling

When your pup isn't chasing after every squirrel, constantly tugging on their leash, or trying to run off the sidewalk, your walks will be stress-free, relaxing, and fun.

Stop Disruptive Behaviors

Whether your dog jumps on people, digs in the yard, begs for food, whines constantly, runs off, or barks excessively, our training will help them stop.

Leave Your Dog at Home Without Stress

Go to work, run errands, or head out to dinner without worrying that your pup is stressed, destructive, or howling for you.

Go Out in Public With Confidence

Take your dog out and about with you without wondering if they'll misbehave, make a mess, or bother other people or animals.

Socialize at Local Dog Parks

Let your pup have fun running and playing with other dogs at your local dog parks.

Build a Deeper Bond

Our training forges a deep, life-long connection built on trust, respect, and positivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

To give you all the info you need before you begin our service dog training program, we've gathered the answers to the most common questions here.

General Info

What is your training style?

We only use positive, reward-based methods in all of our training programs. These work with your dog’s psychology, are highly effective, and help your dog feel happier, less stressed, and more closely bonded with you.

Are your dog trainers certified?

All of our dog trainers have multiple years of experience and go through a thorough screening process and background check. While some of our trainers are AKC certified, this is not true for all of them.

What is your most effective training program?

Many find our private training program to be the most successful since it’s customized for your dog and helps them avoid distractions. However, if your dog needs more socialization, group training can be more successful, and our online courses have many of the same benefits as our private training!

Can I meet my trainer first?

Our dog training concierge would be happy to schedule a call between you and your trainer upon request.

Are your training programs customizable?

Our private trainer program is customized and tailored to your dog’s personality, skill level, and needs.

Is your service dog training legally valid?

Yes, our program is designed to teach your dog tasks to help with your diagnosed disability, making them a legally valid service dog. This means once your dog passes the Public Access Test you will receive all the benefits.

Who is eligible for a service dog?

Anyone who has been diagnosed with a qualifying disability by a licensed mental health or medical professional.

What is your cancellation policy?

100% full refund as long as you cancel more than 24 hours before your training session.

Private Training

Where does your private training take place?

Our trainers will come work with you right in your home! Alternatively, depending on your training goals, you and your trainer may decide to meet in a public, dog friendly location.

How much does private training cost?

The price varies between $75 - $130 per hour depending on your location.

Group Training

Can any dog take your training program?

As long as your dog is not aggressive toward other dogs, and as long as they aren’t disruptive in class, they’re welcome!

How much does group training cost?

The price varies between $39 - $75 per 1 hour class depending on your location.

Online Training

Do I need to have a dog-training experience to take your online courses?

Our courses are designed to be accessible to everyone. Even if this is your very first time working with a dog, the lessons are both comprehensive and easy-to-follow. Plus, we have additional learning materials to make training easier.

How much do your online courses cost?

Our online courses start as low as $29.99 and go all the way up to $349.99. We also have a monthly subscription that includes access to all of our courses, unlimited televet sessions, and exclusive discounts at our more than 50 pet partners.

Can I train multiple dogs in one online course?

Each dog you’re training must be enrolled themselves. However, we do offer discounts for multiple dogs. They will each receive their own certificate upon graduation!
