Do you see dog training as a "diet" or a "lifestyle change"?

When I think of a diet, my goal is not long term, it is to drop a set amount of weight, with no long term plan to keep that weight off. I will likely go at a completely unsustainable pace for a short period of time. Compared to a lifestyle change which may include getting to the gym on a regular basis, watching food intake, and eating better foods. With a lifestyle change, it may take longer to get to my goals, but I am setting myself up to succeed beyond my short term goal.

With dog training you can follow either of the paths above. You can hire a trainer, and go through the curriculum of the trainer. You will learn a bunch of great ways to manage your dog, and get the best out of your dog. Once that training is over, you can toss the e-collar and prong collar in a drawer because you got to a point that you are content with. Or you can continue to put the prong collar and e-collar on the dog and work with the dog several times a week, repeating what was learned in training. The first path will get you back to where you started, the second path will continue to show progress above the foundation that has already been established.
Which route do you want to go, the "diet" or the "lifestyle change"?

Dog training takes work and accountability, just because the dog went through training doesn't mean that the dog is "fixed". During a training program like Day Training your trainer is doing a lot of the leg work for you but there is still practice and accountability at home that is neccesary for success.

🐾PACK WALK🐾

If you would like to attend you must register by calling or texting 701-929-4160

September 5th @ 6pm Lindenwood Park, we will be meeting at the parking lot by the baseball field

This is an opportunity to get out among other dogs and their owners to practice your skills and get a good structured walk in. We will require you have been through an Elevate obedience program and have your properly fitted gear on. This is a fun chance to get out and socialize our furry friends. Although we do ask that you don't let dogs come face to face.

There’s a common misconception that some breeds are simply “great family dogs.” In reality, that just isn’t true. Every dog has the potential to bite, become reactive, or even show aggression—yes, even the happy-go-lucky golden retriever.

If you want a dog who thrives with your kids and family, it’s not about picking the “right” breed—it’s about training. Clear expectations, firm rules, and consistent boundaries are what truly create the best family dogs.

👉 For those who have been thinking about enrolling, you still have time to lock in the current $1,700 rate, which is about $100 less than our new bundled program that starts September 1st

✅ Enroll before September 1st to take advantage of the lower rate.

✅ After that date, all new enrollments will include the updated $2,200 pricing with equipment included.
