Dog Training Services and Behavioral Programs

Effective training is an investment in a more functional way of living. We provide results-oriented dog training on the Western Slope for owners ready to move past frustration and toward true capability.

Our process is built on clarity and progression. Every partnership begins with a comprehensive behavioral evaluation to determine the most effective path forward. Whether you require an intensive board and train program or targeted private coaching, our services are designed to build a stable, reliable partnership for the long term.

Training Evaluation

Required for all new clients 

The path to a functional partnership begins with a clear assessment and a committed strategy. We do not offer quick fixes; we offer a structured methodology designed to achieve real-world reliability.

The Training Evaluation is a comprehensive intake and in-person behavioral analysis. This is where we move past generalities to build a clear, ethical, and effective training plan specific to your dog’s needs. This session is the mandatory first step into training with us.

What is Included:
In-depth Training and Behavioral History Form (reviewed prior to our session)
Up to 90-minute in-person Training Evaluation
Hands-on guidance and tangible feedback during the session
Written recap with a custom training plan and clear next steps

Investment $250 | Additional Dogs: $150 per dog

The Training Evaluation process is a standalone requirement and is not included in subsequent training track costs.

The Work

Following your evaluation, we will recommend the specific path required to achieve your goals. These tracks are designed for different levels of intensity and involvement, ensuring the most effective outcome for your dog’s temperament and your lifestyle.

We call this The Work because there are no shortcuts to true behavioral change. It is an intentional, disciplined process that requires more than just teaching commands; it requires a shift in how you communicate and live with your dog. Whether the dog is with us for an immersive program or we are working side by side in coaching sessions, we are committed to a high standard of clarity and consistency. This is the effort required to move from a state of management to a state of partnership.

Board and Train

3+ Weeks of Structured Training

Your dog lives in my home, where we focus on building foundational skills, confidence, and real-world reliability. This is an intensive process designed to create a solid baseline in a controlled setting. You will receive regular updates and transfer lessons to ensure the transition back to your home is seamless.

Unlike traditional programs, our work is a long-term partnership. This track includes lifetime support for the duration of your dog’s life.
