Offering private in-home training, day training, day school services, training walks, train and plays at local dog parks, solo and small pack hikes, boarding, and positive reinforcement board and train out of a private home. Pick up and drop off services are also available.
There are no kids or resident dogs on the premises, as the trainer fosters from time to time, making it possible to accommodate misunderstood pups that need to be the only dog present. A video house tour is provided ahead of time. All services come with 24/7 communication access to pivot training in real time using a free app.
The trainer can provide support in the following areas:
- Puppy start right
- Adolescence (not-so-terrible teens!)
- Adult dogs and rescues
- Acclimating new dogs in the home
- Tailored behavior modification plans
- Multiple dog households
- Leash walking
- Recall/come
- Basic manners (“obedience”)
- Hyperarousal/jumpy mouthy behaviors (your dog jumps, mounts, or grabs hold in a state of overstimulation)
- Teaching appropriate play (how to “dog” with other dogs—and people)
- Leash reactivity (barking/growling/lunging/nipping/etc.)
- Low frustration tolerance
- Some advanced refinement/training for therapy or service work (the trainer does not do start to finish)
- Excessive barking and other “nuisance” behaviors
- Collaborating with vets, vet behaviorist, and/or other professionals as appropriate
The primary service areas include Back Bay, Bay Village, South End, Ink Block, South Boston, Seaport, Fort Point, Beacon Hill, Chinatown/Theatre District, Fenway/Kenmore, Cambridge, Medford, Somerville.
