01
WEEK ONE

Foundation & On-Leash Control

Assessment & Goal Setting

We evaluate your dog’s behavior, temperament, current obedience, and your individual training goals.

Reinforcement of sit, down, come, heel, place, break, and no to establish clear communication and structure.

Build proper leash walking, focus, responsiveness, and stronger engagement with the handler.

Introduction to E-Collar

Your dog is professionally conditioned to understand the e-collar as part of a clear communication system.

House Manners & Structure

Reinforce calm indoor behavior, boundaries, crate work, and overall impulse control.

WEEK TWO

Off-Leash Transition & Reliability

Off-Leash Foundations

Commands begin transitioning off leash while maintaining clear communication at greater distances.

Refine commands in more challenging environments and around higher levels of distraction.

Owner Education & Transition
