I have had a lot of folks ask if I offer private sessions outside of my membership, and I usually don’t, but I am selling packages for 2026 training for a limited time and they are on sale!

Now through 12/8 get 50% OFF all 2026 private session packages.

These can be virtual or

IN PERSON at my Prattsburgh, NY location (we have 7 acres and friendly dogs! Come work on off leash skills, socialization, reactive rehab, etc. or come play NASDA or nosework, all with private instruction.)

We can also do a hybrid of some virtual, some in person, for people who live close enough to visit once or twice.

🐶 A handful of simple, easy to teach, training exercises to build food drive

🐶Skills to generalize those exercises to new environments and proof for distractions

December Board and Train opening!

Our program is a holistic alternative to traditional board and train. We take an enrichment first, reinforcement-based approach to achieve lasting results.

Unlike traditional board and train programs that focus on simple obedience skills, our program combines socialization, enrichment and arousal regulation exercises to build well rounded, confident and happy canine companions for our clients.

I have pick up options available for:

📍New York: Syracuse, Buffalo, Rochester, Ithaca and surrounding areas

📍Ohio: Cleveland and surrounding areas
