TRAINING SERVICES

A WILLING LEARNER

HANDLER EDUCATION

SKILLS

TEAM TRUST

CONSISTENCY

MANAGEMENT

and the PHYSICAL, NUTRITIONAL, EMOTIONAL, and SOCIAL NEEDS of your young dog


  • Puppies start at 10 weeks of age up to 1 year of age
  • Sessions include a written FOLLOW UP
  • Scheduling in advance is recommended. I book out weeks to months in advance, please consider booking appointments before you need them, and if you know you are dedicated to training, booking multiple sessions in advance for consistency.
  • It is recommended to also schedule a Phone Appointment if there are stretches of time between in-person appointments.
  • We have a growing collection of E-Books to augment your in-person education. 
  • Our Resource Page was set up with our puppy Teams in mind, it is there and available for you with great information.

BOOK IN-PERSON SESSION

COACHING

1:1 IN-PERSON AT OUR FARM

A One-on-One personalized session. You choose the skill/s you would like to work on, and I will demonstrate the process with your dog, and then coach you. This way you can take your new skills and practice away! Whether you want to learn something new, start modifying a behavior, competition readiness, learn a new skill, and / or better management techniques, this is a great way to focus on what is important to your household. Teaching and training are a process, there is no such thing as an over night success. We are an integrative and functional training business, using reward based training for the whole dog - socially, emotionally, physically, and nutritionally.

PHONE -  If your schedule isn't super flexible, you live far away, or it is just easier to chat over the phone to get the information you need - phone appointments are a great option. Phone appointments are scheduled in HOUR time slots, make sure you book the amount of time you would like, for the information you are looking to gain. These appointments are super productive if you have a list of questions already written down, and are ready to take notes. 

  • Sessions do not include a written FOLLOW UP 

E-MAIL - Great way to check-in, gather resources, clarify your training plan, answer questions. Each session comes with one e-mail response, and a second e-mail if something needs clarification.


  • Coaching is for dogs over 1 year of age
  • Scheduling in advance is recommended, from one to multiple appointments. I do book out from weeks to months in advance.
  • Schedule appointments to keep your Team consistent.
  • It is recommended to also schedule a Phone Appointment if there are stretches of time between in-person appointments.
  • We have a growing collection of E-Books to augment your in-person education.

GROUP CLASS

PUPPY / ADOLESCENT - Offered Sunday and Wednesday year-round.

ADULT VARIETY - Offered Tuesday & Thursday (starting in October 2023)


Pre-requisites

  • These are only available for Teams that I have worked with in 1:1 training/ coaching, either over the phone or in-person
  • Puppy/Adolescent - 14 weeks to 1 year
  • Variety Adult - over 1 year


Group classes are not appropriate for all dogs, and shouldn't be the goal. These classes are great for working with your dog around other well managed distractions, while building maturing skills, Team focus on both ends of the leash, and meeting other Teams who are working as hard as you are.

  • For every 1 hour class - it takes 4 hours of work during the week practicing to advance your skills.
  • Some classes will have a written FOLLOW UP but not all.
  • Scheduling in advance is recommended. Because space is limited, there are no refunds or re-scheduling.
  • We have a growing collection of E-Books to augment your in-person education.

CONSULTATIONS

IN-PERSON AT OUR FARM -

If there is something that prohibits working/training with your puppy / dog at the time of service (health, behavior, arousal, environment) - the appointment will be cancelled in the first 15 minutes, and only a $45 service charge will apply.


Our Behavioral Consultation is designed to work with the dog and owner in a one-on-one environment. Consultations are a great way to address your dogs needs and/or your concerns.


I take a thorough history before the initial appointment. Your attention to supplying accurate details is important. 


Time is spent observing your dog, your way of interacting, and your dog responding. Depending on the context of the appointment, sometimes we will work with your dog, but it isn't always necessary and/or appropriate.


The consultation is just that, to give you a better understanding on what is happening and information on the initial work that will need to be done. 


These consultations are great for those that want to learn more about their dog, in a more in-depth way.


Behavioral Consultation includes a written FOLLOW UP.

  • Scheduling in advance is recommended, I do book out from weeks to months in advance.
  • It is recommended to also schedule a Phone Appointment if there are stretches of time between in-person appointments.
  • We have a growing collection of E-Books to augment your in-person education.

TREIBBALL ELEMENTS

DATE - TUESDAYS - June 6th - 27th  FULL

LOCATION - BORDER FARM, BOZEMAN 

TIME - 9-10am

Treibball is like a moving puzzle between you and your dog, and creates great mental and physical exercise on both ends of the leash. The skills for this sport include – distance, directional (steering at a distance), changing pace and speed, and being able to communicate with each other while far apart, and it builds incredible Team work.

Treibball is working as a Team both close together and far apart, which can be applied to most every other thing you do with your dog during your day.

Treibball is for all ages, puppy to senior, as the dog chooses their pace/speed.

Treibball equipment is super lightweight and affordable.

Treibball can be played in the yard, a park, or a larger field.

Treibball can be a daily puzzle solving game for you and your dog, or a competition sport.

Treibball never gets old, working with distance, directional, steering, pushing, and Team work, there are absolutely endless ways to play!
