Advanced Skills: Moving beyond the basics

Includes:

• 4 personalized in-home training sessions

• Helpful homework guides for the skills you are currently working on.

• Ongoing Q&A Support between sessions—and for the lifetime of your dog—for the specific skills covered during your program.

Note: This program is designed for 4 weeks, but can easily be extended as needed.

Best For:

• Graduates of Foundational Skills who are ready to continue their training journey and build on their success.

• Dogs who are highly responsive in low-distraction environments but struggle to focus outdoors.

• Those looking to build advanced impulse control, steady stays, and enthusiastic cooperation around real-world distractions.

Important Note On Readiness:

Because advanced training relies heavily on a dog’s confidence and independent choice around real-world distractions, this program is designed specifically for teams with a solid foundation in positive reinforcement methods.

* If your dog is currently reliant on physical control, leash corrections, or tools like prong, choke, or electronic/shock collars, our initial evaluation will focus on creating a customized plan to transition your dog smoothly away from those tools and build a fresh, positive foundation first. Please note that this critical transition may extend the length of time needed to successfully prepare both you and your dog for the advanced stage.

⚠️Important Success Factors:

• Daily Commitment: Success requires 5 to 7 minutes of daily practice between our sessions to lock in the behaviors. I will be available via messenger to answer questions that may arise during your independent practice times, but you are responsible for committing to this learning process with your dog.

• Behavioral Needs: Severe reactivity, anxiety, or aggression may require additional specialized sessions beyond this foundational package.

• Individual Pace: All dogs, especially puppies and adolescent dogs, may progress at different rates based on their age and attention span.
