HOW IT WORKS

Our comprehensive program covers a spectrum of essential skills, focusing on key areas such as confidence building, engagement, reactivity, resource guarding, basic manners and obedience, leash etiquette, proper socialization, addressing aggression and more.

Consistency is the cornerstone of our training philosophy. Our structured program, combined with follow-up sessions for dog parents, ensures that the training principles are seamlessly integrated into daily life. By fostering a strong bond between you and your dog, we strive to create a more manageable, well-behaved, and ultimately happier dog - and better quality of life!

    Please note:

    • We require a meet & greet of all dogs and owners prior to Day Academy. This is an essential process to assess a dog's behavior, temperament, and suitability for our program.

    • Recaps and follow-up sessions are included in the packages to keep consistent with the training.

    • Please note, programs are subject to change depending on overall progress/regression in a dog’s behavior.

  • Certain behaviors may require more time for correction, given that each dog learns at its own pace. Our tailored weekly programs are designed to accommodate your dog's specific requirements. For instance, basic obedience and leash manners may take approximately 3-4 weeks, while addressing resource guarding or aggression may require a minimum commitment of 5-6 weeks. Our approach ensures that the duration and focus of the program align with the unique learning pace and challenges of your dog.

    After the evaluation, we'll design a tailored strategy specifically for you and your dog. Your personalized plan will be crafted based on the unique aspects of your dog's behavior, ensuring a customized approach that addresses their individual needs and enhances overall well-being.
