Specialty Program
Personalized training designed around your dog, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Pricing varies based on your dog’s needs
From early puppy foundations to real life adventures, we build training programs that grow with your dog.
Whether you’re starting early with puppy preschool, continuing after one of our core programs, or working toward therapy, emotional support, or lifestyle-based goals, we create a plan tailored to your dog and your everyday life.

Puppy Preschool Program
Designed for young puppies (under 16 weeks), this program gives your dog the best possible start during the most important stage of development.
Your puppy lives in the home of one dedicated trainer — without other dogs — allowing for focused, consistent guidance and a calm learning environment.
We build the foundation your puppy needs for success, including:
• Crate training and healthy routines
• Early house training habits
• Puppy biting and teething behavior
• Scheduling, structure, and calmness
• Basic manners and confidence building
This program is perfect for busy families who want to start off right but don’t have the time to manage the demands of early puppy training.
Outcome:
A confident, well-adjusted puppy with strong habits already in place — making life at home easier and setting the stage for future training.
​
What’s next:
Many families continue into our Out & About (Package 3) program to build advanced skills, real-world confidence, and off-leash reliability as their dog matures.

Emotional Support Dog Preparation
For clients seeking a calm, stable companion, we offer extended training focused on emotional support readiness.
While Emotional Support Animals do not require specialized task training by law, a well-trained, emotionally steady dog is essential for providing consistent support.
• Calm, non-reactive behavior
• Stability in home and daily routines
• Confidence in new environments
• Reliable obedience and focus
Important:
We do not certify or register dogs as Emotional Support Animals.
ESA status must be determined by a licensed mental health professional.
Our role is to prepare your dog to be a reliable and supportive companion.

Is This the Right Fit for Every Dog?
​
Not every dog is naturally suited for advanced public work, therapy environments, or outdoor adventure training — and that’s okay.
Some dogs may be more reactive, sensitive, or uncomfortable in certain situations. In those cases, we focus on creating a calm, well-behaved companion at home rather than forcing environments that may cause stress.
Our goal is always to set your dog up for success based on their personality and individual needs.
