Training isn’t about sit, down, and stay. It is about getting our dogs to be compliant and look to us for direction. Impulsiveness is what gets dogs into trouble. It isn’t as much about teaching the dogs, as it is about teaching the human how to work with the dog. The responsibility to establish a healthy relationship with our dogs relies on us, the humans.

 Some of these dogs are reactive or aggressive.  We offer our Day Training program in Olathe Kansas.  We work on obedience, reactivity, aggression, and anxiety through behavior modification.

This is our premium training program, It includes everything that is part of the 2 week program, but the 3rd week we work on dog interactions and off leash recall under distractions.

*There is an equipment requirement for this program, the dog will need: a flat leash, a Herm Sprenger prong collar, and an E-collar Technologies e-collar.

Approximate cost of the equipment is $300 to get the dog setup.  

Cost $2,250 for the program + equipment cost is approximately $330

This is our premier training program, and our most popular. It is geared towards dogs 18 weeks and older. This is the best program for dogs with reactivity, aggression, anxiety, fear, over stimulation, and people that just don’t have the time to put in all the training repetitions themselves. The dog comes to our facility for 10 days, going home each day. Drop-Off is at 8 AM and Pick-up is at 3 PM, unless other arrangements are made. This program gives us the perfect opportunity to work on these things because we are located in such a busy area and constantly have other dogs around. We try to identify as many things as we can that are a trigger for the dog and set up scenarios around those triggers. For example, maybe your dog is afraid of men or even random objects such as a laundry basket or cars on the road. Besides correcting bad behaviors like jumping, excessive barking, reactivity, and aggression, we teach the dogs how to walk nicely beside us, sit, down, stay, place, leave it, and to remain neutral in chaotic environments. For the owner, we show you how to properly use a prong collar, e-collar and other concepts that will help you better communicate with your dog. We can also work on more specific problems you are experiencing, for example bolting out the door, food aggression, or resource guarding.

As the training progresses, the dogs are taken to stores and other public places where they are going to encounter strange people, strange dogs and new sights, sounds and smells. More importantly than what we teach the dog, we need to teach you how to replicate the same results at home. Every day we will run you through everything the dog did that day and what your homework should be for that night, as well as answer any questions you may have. Every night an email gets sent out with what we worked on, and in many cases, it includes a video demonstrating what that should look like.  

After a few days of training, we will schedule a one-on-one session with you and your dog. This allows us to show you everything we are working on and to have you practice with your dog under the guidance of our trainers, so everyone is on the same page. These different commands and concepts will become the foundation of what we are going to hold the dog accountable for. Once the dog understands the rules/boundaries, we as the human must enforce the rules/boundaries, provide consequences for violation of the rules/boundaries, and be consistent in the enforcement of the rules/boundaries. 

*There is an equipment requirement for this program, the dog will need: a flat leash, a Herm Sprenger prong collar, and an E-collar Technologies e-collar.

Approximate cost of the equipment is $330 to get the dog setup. 

Cost $1,500 for the program + equipment cost is approximately $330

This is our "middle of the road" option. In this program the dog comes to our facility for 5 days, going home each day. Drop-Off is at 8 AM and Pick-up is at 3 PM, unless other arrangements are made. 

We can get in a lot more repitions than we can in a 1 hour General Obedience session and expose the dog to other dogs and trainers. We will not be introducing the e-collar and we are not able to address any severe behavior issues (we have other programs for that), however you will see that with a lot of structure, some of the issues will disappear. Training isn’t about sit, down, and stay. It is about getting our dogs to be compliant and look to us for direction. Impulsiveness is what gets dogs into trouble. It isn’t as much about teaching the dogs, as it is about teaching the human how to work with the dog. The responsibility to establish a healthy relationship with our dogs relies on us, the humans. 

We will cover things like, leash manners, holding commands until released (Sit, Down, Place), leave it, out, recall, not rushing out of a crate, not jumping on people and waiting for permission to cross a threshold.

More importantly than what we teach the dog, we need to teach the owners how to replicate the same results at home. Every day we will run you through everything the dog did that day and what your homework should be for that night, as well as answer any questions you may have. Every night an email gets sent out with what we worked on, and in many cases, it includes a video demonstrating what that should look like.

Once the dog understands the rules/boundaries, we as the human must enforce the rules/boundaries, provide consequences for violation of the rules/boundaries, and be consistent in the enforcement of the rules/boundaries. Does that sound just like raising kids? It is the same concept. 

*There is an equipment requirement for this program, the dog will need: a flat leash and a 2.25 Herm Sprenger prong collar (order extra links if your dog is over 45 pounds) that can be purchased on Amazon.

Approximate cost of the equipment is $35 to get the dog setup. 

Cost $750 for the program + equipment cost is approximately $35

The 10 day maintenance program is a program after the Day Training program, where the dog can be dropped off for training on random days for maintenance training.  

We continue to work on all aspects of training that the dog learned in the obedience program.  This covers all the commands they have learned, and working on any reactivity that the dog is presenting.  You can utilize this on any day we are open, and have available space.  You just have to call before hand and if there are openings we will add your dog to the schedule.  To register, click here.

*All visits have to be used within 90 days of purchase

This is our more budget friendly program. This program is for dogs that are at least 20 weeks old.  It is four, one on one training sessions, meeting weekly for one hour. These are typically scheduled during the evenings Monday – Thursday.  Think of this as train the trainer. There is a limited number of repetitions we can get in with the dog in an hour. This program shifts the responsibility to the owner to get the reps in with the dogs between sessions. We cover all the same topics as we do in Day Training, except we don’t have other dogs around or strangers to work through reactivity. However, we do teach how to address reactivity in this program.

Puppy class is geared towards dogs between 10 weeks and 17 weeks old. In this group class we go over more age-appropriate topics. This is 3 sessions, meeting once a week for an hour. We discuss potty training and crate training. We work on walking without pulling, sit, down, stay, place, and leave it. For people that go through this program, they can take off $200 if they put their dog into the Day Training program when the dog is old enough. Making the puppy class free! If someone wants to take advantage of that.

Cost $200 for the program.

Our obedience refresh program is for dogs that have already been through our obedience program.  Which means they already know commands and boundaries that have been defined.  This program allows us to re-enforce the 3 components of obedience training which include boundaries, consequences, and consistency.

This is a 1 week program where drop off is at 8 AM and pickup is between 3 - 4 PM.  

Each day the dog gets approximately 1.5 hours of one-on-one time, and then the remainder of the session they are working on impulse control through group activities like holding a down when other dogs are training or are playing fetch.  Our facility offers us a unique ability to expose the dog to other dogs, and we have significant foot traffic right outside our facility throughout the day.  This allows us to get exposure to the dog to being around a significant amount of people. 

The cost is $750 for the 1 week program.  This provides approximately 35 hours of training time.  Payment of half down and completion of the agreement and questionnaire is required to be put on the schedule.
