What a two week stay covers well
- Core cues such as sit, down, place and name response.
- Loose leash walking in calm and moderately busy spots.
- Polite greetings, door manners and settling in the house.
- A realistic start on recall, with more practice expected at home.
- An owner handoff lesson at the end, with a short plan for the first month home.

Why owners choose this
One trainer. Your dog. Real results.
We do not refer owners to franchise training chains. In our view, they lean on less experienced staff and indoor facilities instead of real-world training.
Good questions
Before we begin.
Is two weeks enough?
For basic manners it often is. Long-standing habits, reactivity or off-leash goals usually need more time, and the trainer can tell you after hearing about your dog.
What happens in the first few days?
The trainer learns your dog, sets a routine, and begins simple skills in low-distraction places. The pace is matched to your dog.
When do I learn the commands?
In the final days, the trainer coaches you with your dog so you practice the same cues, timing and leash handling.
Will I get updates during the stay?
Many trainers send check-ins, though how often varies. Ask what to expect before you commit.
Can I add a third week later?
Often yes, if the trainer has room. Ask up front whether extending is possible and how it is priced.
