Here at Dogheart we are dog people.
Decisions about training are always made in the best interest of our dogs. We have created an effective environment for training by remaining loyal to the cornerstones of our philosophy. With daily interaction, exercise, obedience and health, your dog can enjoy more freedom in society.

From basic obedience
to aggression issues,
we inspire respectful,
effective ways to manage
your dog’s behaviors.

Obedience by our standards means that dogs are under verbal control and respond to practical concepts like, “No bark,” “Stay home,” and “Come,” as well as a variety of casual directional commands. Obedience also means that dogs are well-socialized, comfortable and displaying good manners. By the time you complete a training schedule with us, you will be fluent in the language your dog understands and responds to – one based on mutual respect.

 

INITIAL EVALUATION $130
We begin all of our training relationships with an initial evaluation. This is necessary so that we understand the issues that you are currently having, along with any environmental concerns that might be affecting your dog's behavior.

This 90-minute session introduces a qualified trainer to your dog in your home environment, which allows you the opportunity to address concerns about real-life habits and routines as they occur. You will be introduced to our methodology, see a demonstration of its application, and be involved in devising a training strategy specific to your dog and your individual situation.

In addition to our initial evaluation, we offer more targeted evaluations (to read more about each of these evaluations, click here).

Aggression Evaluation $150
Pre-Owner Consultation $130
Separation Anxiety $130

FUNDAMENTAL TRAINING
$90/hour
(or four 1 hour sessions for $320)

After the initial evaluation, you may schedule private training sessions. We recommend 3-5 training sessions along with brief follow-up sessions. These sessions cover management of behavior, the creation of structure and basic training; with the primary goal of achieving verbal control, whether on or off a leash.

Our Fundamental Training can be concentrated in any of the following areas (to read more about each of these elements of our training, click here):

Alternate Handler Training
Canine-one-one
Counseling
Crisis Management
Nutrition Consultation
Socialization

******************************************

ADVANCED TRAINING $90/hour
At Dogheart, we refer to advanced training as routines with an “intended purpose.” Whether it is pulling a cart full of newspapers for the paper carrier or bringing you the cordless while you’re mowing the grass, your dog’s activity can benefit both of you. Customized to advance your personal goals and respect your dog’s innate desire to work, our advanced training command structure always begins with “Heel,” “Down” and extended “Down and Stay.”
