Every Dog

Shelter dogs come in all shapes and sizes, with a wide range of experiences before and during their time in the system. Considering their lived experience, and individual needs, is key to understanding how we can help them learn and grow. Learn how to set your dog up to succeed as they navigate a new life, and how to help expand their world safely.

Receive guidance and support for a safe and positive integration of your new shelter dog into your current household, and teach the behaviors important to you.

With Puppy start you’ll focus on potty training, safe and effective socialization, starting skills like recall, building up handler engagement, and teach handling skills for grooming and vet visits.

We will cover the basics of understanding dogs communication, and the physical, mental, and emotional needs of a puppy. With an understanding of your puppy’s needs, we’ll work together to build a training plan geared toward your lifestyle and personal goals.

Do you need to fine tune some behaviors, and build up others Work toward the skills your dog needs to navigate your life together safely, and happily. This can mean preparing for lifestyle changes, creating doorway safety, or solidifying recall.

Solidify skills you’ve already begun building, learn new ways to engage with your dog, or get an introduction to games and sports.

This is a great fit for dogs who completed puppy start, or just need some focused support.
