Training focuses on improving impulse control, building clear leadership and boundaries, and safely working through triggers in a controlled environment.
This program may address:
• Dog aggression
• Human aggression

Each dog receives a customized training plan based on their specific behavioral history and triggers. Our goal is to improve safety, control, and quality of life for both the dog and owner.

• Structured behavior modification training
• Owner transfer session with hands-on guidance
• Follow-up support to help owners safely manage behavior at home
Note: Severe behavior cases require owner commitment and continued structure after training.

Not all dogs progress at the same rate. Some dogs, especially those with thoroughly conditioned behavioral issues, may benefit from additional training beyond the initial 30 days. Continued training can be scheduled as a 1-week or 2-week Board & Train at any time in the months or year following graduation, at the rates listed for returning clients.
