Day School

Sign up for a structured, progressive training experience designed to build reliable obedience, emotional stability, and real-world manners in dogs of all ages.

It is a carefully designed curriculum that develops skills month by month, ensuring dogs can perform behaviors not only in the "classroom", but in public settings and around real-life distractions.

There is no specific "time frame" because every dog is different. Some will need longer in school, and others less time. Email Nate for questions.

What We Teach

During school, dogs learn and refine:

Sit, Down, and Duration Stays
Place (extended duration and distraction proofed)
Loose Leash Walking
Formal Heeling
Reliable Recall
Threshold and Doorway Manners
Down in Motion
Auto Sits
Cooperative Care
Playgroup manners (approved dogs only)

For dogs struggling with reactivity or behavioral challenges, we incorporate structured prevention and resolution strategies into their program.

How It Works

Each behavior follows a three-step training progression:

Taught in the "classroom"
Generalized in public environments
Proofed under distraction

Dogs are worked daily in structured training scenarios to ensure skills are reliable on campus, off campus, and with their owners.

Why This Matters

In our program your dog will learn clarity and emotional stability. Dogs often struggle due to inconsistency, lack of structure, and distractions that are stronger than your communication bond with them.

The progressive plan we follow, even just 2 days per week, will help you and your dog have a more consistent and lasting partnership. you won't have to wonder how it will go if you stop for coffee with a friend and bring your dog, go for a hike, or take your dog to a summer lawn concert. You can feel more comfortable going to fun classes with your dog like agility, rally, or even just having friends over.

Owner Involvement

Throughout the program, owners are kept informed of progress and coached on how to replicate results at home. Behaviors are not considered complete until they are reliable with the owner as well.

The Goal

By the end of the program, dogs demonstrate:

Reliable obedience in distracting environments
Emotional regulation around other dogs and stimuli
Clear boundaries and impulse control
Real-life manners that carry into everyday living

This program is designed to create dogs that are obedient, stable, confident, happy, and dependable anywhere.
