The Road toTraining Success...

Transforming pups into well-behaved companions.

OUR APPROACH

Our Training Philosophy: Kindness, Connection, and Clarity

At A Dog’s World, we believe the most effective training happens when a dog feels safe, empowered, and understood. We are strictly force-free; we never use fear, intimidation, or physical discomfort to achieve results. Instead, we rely on positive reinforcement—marking desired behaviors and rewarding them consistently—to build communication based on trust rather than compliance. By focusing on what your dog can do, we foster a lifelong love for learning and a stronger bond between you and your companion.

OUR PRICING

Program Highlights: The "Board and Train" Experience

Our comprehensive Board and Train program is designed to build a confident, well-mannered, and happy companion. We focus on foundational skills, socialization, and impulse control, all within a nurturing, force-free environment.

1. Core Life Skills & Obedience

We equip your dog with the essential tools for everyday success:

• Fundamental Commands: Mastery of Sit, Down, Stand, and Place.

• Polite Manners: Teaching your dog to greet politely instead of jumping, and how to wait for your direction.

• Leash Skills: Developing loose-leash walking for stress-free outings, along with "heeling" and focus around distractions.

• Impulse Control: Building rock-solid "Leave It" and "Drop It" cues.

• Reliable Recall: Teaching your dog to come when called, reinforced through fun, engaging games.

2. Confidence & Socialization

A well-behaved dog is a confident one. We prepare your puppy for the real world:

• Real-World Exposure: Guided field trips to introduce your dog to new environments, sights, and sounds in a positive way.

• Friendly Socialization: Thoughtfully introducing your dog to diverse people (hats, beards, umbrellas, etc.) to ensure they remain comfortable and approachable.

3. Husbandry & Ease of Care

We make living with your dog easier for both of you

• Cooperative Care: Building tolerance for necessary handling, including teeth brushing, nail clipping, and collar grabbing.

• Structured Routine: Daily practice with crates and alone time to prevent separation anxiety and promote independence

• Hand-Feeding: Utilizing meal times to build focus, trust, and positive associations with you and the handler.

4. Your Peace of Mind

• Continuous Feedback: We track your dog's progress daily and provide regular updates.

• Documenting Growth: You’ll receive photos and reports highlighting your dog’s major breakthroughs and milestones.

OUR PROGRAM

Investment in Your Dog’s Success

Comprehensive Board & Train: $3,500

Our intensive 3-week program includes a fully customized training curriculum, a comprehensive written follow-up plan, and a private transition session. To ensure your long-term success, you will also receive access to a private library of training videos for your continued support at home.

Customized Short-Term Training: $1,200 per week

If a full 3-week program isn’t the right fit, we offer flexible, shorter-term training blocks. These sessions are hand-tailored to meet your dog’s specific goals and include a dedicated pre-planning consultation to assess your pup’s unique needs.

PRIVATE TRAINING & COACHING

Looking for tailored, expert guidance in the comfort of your own home? One-on-one training sessions are offered on a very limited basis. The approach is entirely customized to your dog and your unique goals.

Every private training journey begins with a pre-consultation phone call to discuss your specific challenges and goals. Following our sessions, you will receive a written follow-up plan to ensure you have a clear, actionable roadmap for success between meetings.

How It Works

Convenience: Sessions are typically conducted in your home, where your dog is most comfortable and where behaviors often manifest. (Please note: Travel fees may apply based on your location.)

Family Inclusion: Consistency is the key to training success. we strongly encourage all members of the household to participate in the sessions to ensure everyone is on the same page.

Scheduling: To maximize progress, private lessons are typically scheduled one to two weeks apart. The exact frequency is determined based on your specific training needs, the behaviors we are working on, and current availability.
