$2,400 · Puppies 12 to 24 weeks
For puppies 12 to 24 weeks. We set up the routines that make the next ten years easy: crate, potty, handling and the first cues. And we do it while their brains are at their most flexible.

$3,300 · Dogs 6 months and up
Our most popular program, and the one most family dogs need. Your dog learns to walk nicely, settle on cue, wait at doors and stay calm in public. Then we practice all of it in real places.

$4,200 · Dogs 8 months and up
For families who hike, camp or have land. Everything in Manners & Freedom, plus a recall and heel you can trust off leash, practiced around deer, horses and other dogs.
Not sure which one fits? Most dogs over six months start with Manners & Freedom. Your evaluation will tell us for sure.

We don't take dogs with serious aggression toward people or a bite history. Those dogs deserve a behavior specialist and a plan built around their home, and we're happy to refer you to one.
Dog reactivity and resource guarding are assessed case by case at the evaluation. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
Most dogs are ready right on schedule. If yours needs a few more days, your trainer will talk it through with you first. Extra days are billed at the tune-up rate, never as a surprise.
Most families start two to six weeks after their first call.
Five minutes: your dog, your goals and the start month you're hoping for.
Hannah or a trainer calls you. We talk honestly about whether board & train is the right fit.
60 minutes on the farm, $95, credited to your program. Bring your dog and your vet records.
A $500 deposit holds your spot. You get a packing list and a drop-off time.
Kennel walk-through, a handoff to your trainer, and the first video before supper.
