A La Carte Training
A La Carte Training allows you to just pick what training you want. This option is different than our private lesson or board and train programs that are all inclusive. A la carte training is exactly how it sounds: a la carte. Pick the training options that works best for you. Work at your own pace, change the level of support you want and cancel anytime.
A la carte training is flexible and gives you the support you need to be successful with your dog!
All a la carte training begins with our Online Membership. With your Online Membership you can exclusive gain access to group classes, individual private lessons or private lesson memberships and customized board and trains.
Group Classes: We periodically offer group classes. These are offered with our sister organization, New Frontier Service Dogs.
Private Lessons: Meet with us in person or virtually online for one on one training with your puppy or dog. We will be your coach and you’ll be your dog’s trainer. As we work with you and your dog, we’ll customize a training plan to help you be successful!
Private Lessons can be purchased as a membership or individually.
Board & Train: Having your puppy or dog come and stay with us for customized board and train sessions can be a great option. As an owner-trainer you’ll gain great confidence going through group classes and/or private lessons and also know that your dog gets more training experience working with their professional trainer.

and more!
We’ll work one on one with you to customize a training program to help you and your dog be successful!
Private lessons are 90 minutes each.
They can be at our location or your home (within 30 minutes of our location) You can choose to do private lesson individually or in a package of four. Four lesson packages expires 12 weeks from the date of purchase. You’ll also have access to online support through your Online Membership to review material and/or ask questions for assistance in between lessons. You’ll be able to connect with others that have done training or are currently doing training with the puppies or dogs in a strong supportive community. You can do as many lessons as you need to be successful. You can also check out our private lesson programs for other private lesson training options. Below you can find the prices for our individual and packages of private lessons.
Board and Train
Having your dog come and stay with us for customized board and train sessions can be a great option. As an owner you’ll gain great confidence going through group classes and/or private lessons and also know that your puppy gets more training experience working with their professional trainer.
This training option does not have to be chosen right away and can be added later based on availability.
Board and trains start at 4 weeks and go from there. We would discuss what you want us to work on while your puppy or dog is with us as well as how long they would stay. Board and train sessions can work an any training skills involved in training your dog. Examples could be: puppy training, crate training, potty training, manners, walking nicely on a leash, training around increased distractions (other dogs, participating in private lessons, taking field trips), improving relaxation skills, recall, obedience, social with other dogs skills, public access, task training and more. Each board and train is customized based on where your dog is in training.
Two private lessons are included. This allows us to go over in person what your puppy learned with us. If you live further away from us, we can combine your lessons into two parts on the day of pick up. It’s important to us that you’re comfortable and confident with training for success when your dog returns home
“Very thorough training experience. Nicole is knowledgable and patient. The ideal combination. My dog is so much easier to live with as a result of this training. I would definitely hire her again!”
