Schedule an evaluation to speak with a trainer. We will complete an in depth review of your dog’s training and behavior, your lifestyle, and prior training experience.

After gathering this important information, the trainer will make program recommendations. Then we will use the remaining time to answer any questions you may have.

After the evaluation, you’ll receive an email with training program options customized for your dog, your lifestyle, and your training goals.

If you’re still unsure after the evaluation, stop by any of our drop in group sessions (without your dog) to observe the results of our training in real world environments and scenarios.

Complete your initial training program in one of the formats listed below. All training formats are supported with online course content. Required training equipment is included.

Board & Train programs allow your dog to live alongside our personal dogs in our home while we complete initial training.

In Private Sessions we instruct you how to train your dog, and provide clear homework that must be completed prior to your next session in order to move forward in the program.

Group classes are available in the Baltimore and York areas, and virtual format on occasion. This is our most cost effective training format and is a great option for DIYers with dogs who are not dealing with any significant behavioral issues.
