Huge Announcement!

Those of you that know me know that I am constantly working to find ways to better help dog owners develop their dogs into their ideal version of a companion pet dog.

Recently I've met with lots of people who definitely see the value in our Residency Program, but would like to be more involved in their dog's training.

In the past I've ran private lesson versions of my training program but I stopped years ago because my Residency Program was always exponentially more effective and is pretty much guaranteed to provide the results that people are looking for.

I've always realized that there is a desire for some type of more involved "weekly lesson" type of training but I also am dedicated to providing people with their dream outcomes.

So I pretty much just stuck with what I knew would work.

I thought I had arrived at the conclusion that there wasn't a practical way for me to teach people how to do the bulk of the training on their own while also getting them to that dream outcome in a timely manner.

Until now.

I solved that problem and then some.

The Canine to Companion Project will be an ongoing and ever evolving thing that I run here at Paradigm K9.

The goal is to not just teach dog owners how to teach and enforce commands.

The goal is not just to teach dog owners how to address behavior concerns.

The goal is teach dog owners how to turn their dog into the companion dog of their dreams.

We will tirelessly work with you week after week, month after month, year after year to create and maintain that outcome.

You get to choose your own adventure here. Your training journey with your dog is highly individualistic. Nobody's journey will be the same as yours. The Canine to Companion Project provides you the freedom to customize your training to your goals and needs.

Only need a little help? Just sign up for a month then cancel if you don't need any further assistance from us.

Want to take your dog to an elite level of training with our expert guidance? Stay on month to month as long as you would like and we'll keep pushing you and your dog to new levels of awesome.

For those that do want to stay on and attend classes long term, we are going to reward you for that.

Once you and your dog reach a certain level of training with us we'll give you the option to go through an obedience skills assessment test. Once you can pass it you level up and we are going to drop your monthly cost from $495 a month to just $100 a month. Training at that level is a big deal. You've earned it.

This new program is live starting next week. Classes will be on the following days/times:

Monday: 5:00pm

Wednesday: 5:00pm

Saturday: 12:00pm (Noon)

Come to one a week or come to all three if you can, it's your choice. Dogs that have already been through our Residency Program automatically get the discounted monthly price.

Each class will have a specific focus and we'll meet you where you are at ability wise. If your dog is new to training with us we will work the fundamentals until you are ready for harder challenges. For more experienced dogs we will push you to new levels.

I am extremely excited about this project, we are about to help lots of people achieve their dream dog while having fun doing it.

If you are interested please shoot me a text (740)503-8230.

Also please share. This program is for anyone and everyone that wants their dog to be the best version of themselves, regardless of training history or a lack thereof.

These three are in need of a home. The current owner is not able to care for them due to health issues and they have been unable to find any rescues or shelters that are able to take them. They belong to a friend of a friend and have not been trained by me, but they are all three good natured dogs that are good around kids.

Honey is 2 years old

Ava is 1 year old

Toby is 6 years old

I'm offering $800 off of our training to anyone who adopts one of these pups if you sign them up within 30 days of bringing them home.

Message me if you are interested and I can put you in touch with the owner.

Pepper came for a training refresher due to her dog reactivity becoming severe. We ended her short stay with us on a fun note.

Training gives your dog freedom, but there is a stipulation attached. You have to use the training and use it often.

The more you get out and do stuff with your dog, the easier it gets. It literally is "use it or lose it".

Most of us get pet dogs because we want to share our life with them. So get out there and live.

People have been asking for this all summer so here we go!

Starting August 3rd we will be offering two new classes every Saturday.

10am-11am: Socialization Class

-Maintain and improve your dogs social skills through weekly supervised sessions with me. We will be working on interactions with people, dogs, cats, you name it. Whatever your dog needs more exposure to we'll do it and more importantly you'll learn a ton about how to read your dog and handle potentially difficult situations.

11:15am-12:15pm: Obedience Skills Class

-Maintain and improve your dog's obedience skills while simultaneously improving your own ability to effectively utilize their training. Each week we will have a different focus and you'll leave with some fresh new skills and your dog's training will keep a sharp edge.

These classes will be offered through monthly membership only. You can come to one class a week to keep your dog sharp or you can come every single weekend and squeeze the most out of your dog's training. This is basically a gym membership for your dog.

The Socialization Class will be $40/month
The Obedience Skills Class will be $50/month

Or you can sign up for both for $80/ month and save

I am working on getting the sign up page up and running for the membership subscriptions but if you are interested in signing up shoot me a message here or send me a text 740-503-8230.

These classes are going to change the game, happy training guys!

Teaching any command is essentially just building muscle memory for an action or behavior, then putting it on cue.

Do it in that order and your dog will have a much more reliable command in the long run.
