The Dogtorate
The Dogtorate program provides comprehensive solutions to dog behavior challenges and basic obedience.
Distinguished - That’s what you and your dog will be. Imagine walking through the park and strangers exclaiming in disbelief that your dog is still a puppy because they aren’t pulling or biting on the leash or charging after squirrels like other dogs their age. Imagine your friends and family being seriously impressed by how well your dog minds during a dinner party - no jumping all over them and no stealing food.
Empowered - That’s also what you and your dog will be. Imagine the relief you and your dog will feel when they overcome their reactivity or separation anxiety. Imagine saying goodbye to barking, lunging, and other meltdowns.
This program focuses on teaching basic cues and skills and resolving problematic behaviors. We’ll trade treat bribes for effective communication, fear for confidence, and stress for joy.
This program ensures everyday life becomes more manageable and enjoyable, and also expands learning to new situations and places. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of taking your dog to a restaurant patio, to a dog-friendly store, or on a high-traffic hike, this program makes that possible too.
With unlimited lessons and lifetime support, the possibilities are endless for you and your dog. With this program you will truly never need to find another trainer.
People in this program often see positive results after just one lesson and often reach goals they never thought possible.
This program is great for:
-
Management - so that you are equipped with secure safety systems, including muzzle and crate training.
-
Enrichment - so that you know what your dog likes and how to appropriately fulfill their needs; say goodbye to frustrating destruction and reduce barking.
-
Improving communication - so that your dog listens the first time without needing to be bribed with treats; from recall to "stay" and more.
-
Cooperative care - so that brushing, nail trimming, and going to the vet goes smoothly and your dog can get the care they need when they need it.
-
Fears - so that getting your dog in the car, out for walks, or in the crate isn't such a stressful process.
-
Reactivity - so that you can safely and confidently walk your dog and have guests over.

A dog you can confidently take anywhere - on busy hikes, to pet-friendly stores, cafe patios, and beyond.

Coverage during life changes - like a new baby, growing toddler, upcoming move, adopting a new dog, etc.
