In-Home Training covers four distinct focus areas: behavioral modifications and problem solving, puppy developmental work, on-leash training, and off-leash training. Each program brings the trainer directly to your home, where dogs often learn more naturally in familiar surroundings. Pricing for all four programs is available on request rather than published online, so you'll need to reach out directly for current rates and to discuss which focus area fits your dog's needs.

Group Classes are available, though pricing and session details aren't published on their listing yet. This is currently the only program type shown, so information about duration, class size, and what's covered in each session can be requested directly from the training team. The psychiatric service dog work mentioned in their overview may involve additional programming not yet reflected here, so reaching out is the best way to learn about the full range of training options.
