Programs

Receive personalized, one-on-one support to help you through almost any training or behavioral challenge.

The biggest difference between our training programs is how much time we spend together and how much time we spend 1-on-1 with your dog.
The more time we have with your dog, the faster and easier the training is for you. Your dog will learn to listen better and more reliably at a much faster pace. This gives you the freedom to enjoy your dog every day, everywhere, in less time and with less work!

  • This program is typically accomplished with 1 Owner Orientation & series of 1hr Private Lessons with the trainer

Behaviors –  We’ll teach your dog to walk next to you without pulling so that taking a walk is the fun peaceful exercise you’ve dreamed of.

Well-Mannered Dog Program

You could include your dog in so much more family fun if only they listened better, right?  It feels like your dog picks and chooses what they feel like hearing, no matter how loud or often you shout it.

Set For Life Program

This program will give you and your dog the freedom to enjoy life together anywhere and everywhere you want to go!

More time with your trainer means less work and effort for you, and your dog gets farther along faster – listening in all kinds of situations.

This program is perfect for the family who wants the absolute best, fastest, easiest on-leash & off-leash training experience, learning everything you need to know to maintain your dog’s training, and the peace of mind that you have all the long term support you need.

No need to worry about training slipping over time, or something coming up later on that you’d like help with. We’re here for you from now on.

Not only will we make sure your dog has excellent house manners and listens to you even around distractions, we’ll also make sure your dog listens when they don’t have a leash on…

Which is awesome because most family dogs spend 99% of the time off-leash at home. You’ll be able to get them to listen without having to physically be near them.

We’ll also give your dog tons of 1-on-1 training practice, which saves you time and effort – and gets your dog ‘there’ faster!

The Set For Life Program is ideal for dogs who struggle with leash reactivity and other behavioral concerns. Because we have as much time as it takes, we can slow down and ensure that you get the result you are looking for. Lets make sure we solve the problem once and for all.

This program includes:

  • 1 Owner Orientation
  • Tutoring Sessions2hr lesson where your dog gets 1-on-1 time with the trainer and you join us for the last 30 minutes
  • Series of 1hr  Private Lessons with you and your dog to work together on your skill level and confidence.
  • LIFETIME Additional 1hr Private Lessons (4/yr maximum) – anytime you need any polishing up or face a new problem or just want some more time with the trainer, you can schedule another lesson!
  • Behaviors – No more pulling on the leash so that walks can be enjoyable. Sitting politely when you do stop walking while on the leash. Doing those things when there are bigger distractions around. How to manage all of those behaviors around the house that can drive you nuts. The ability to confidently enjoy your dog in off leash activities such as hiking and swimming. The popular “place” command. Most importantly, all of the support you need to accomplish your goals.

Owners who choose this program want it all!  Full on leash and off leash reliability.  We can spend as much time as you need to accomplish all of your training goals. This is also the perfect  program for dogs who struggle with aggression, leash reactivity, separation anxiety or other behaviors that are best solved when we can slow down and address each step at your dog’s pace

My entire family has gone to Alisson with our dogs for years now and we are truly lucky to have her in our life. My Yogi and I owe her a big thank you.  As we keep making milestones and going on adventures together, I am reminded of how much better he is doing, and am so thankful for the kind and patient work Alisson has done.
