workshops
elevate your skills
Our Workshop Program provides a focused deep dive into a specific skill—such as focused heeling, loose-leash walking, or recall—over a four-week period. Each weekly 40-minute session is designed to refine and perfect that skill, building on the foundation of your dog's previous training. Available to clients who have completed our Basic Obedience Program or a Private Lesson Package, these workshops strengthen communication, and boost handler confidence.

True Connection
Private lessons give you one-on-one guidance, equipping you with the skills and confidence to lead your dog effectively. We believe lasting change happens when you understand not just how to train, but why our methods work. Through interactive, hands-on sessions, we walk you through both the techniques and the reasoning behind each obedience skill. Our focus is on fostering ethical, long-term behavioral change. These sessions also include ongoing email support, so you can stay connected with your trainer.

dog-cation
Our Board and Train program is designed to teach your dog essential behaviors in a structured, controlled environment within our certified trainer's home. This setting fosters trust and confidence, leading to lasting improvements in your dog’s behavior. Under professional guidance, your dog will learn key obedience skills such as leash walking, recall, and basic commands, all of which promote clarity, consistency, and good behavior.
Each program is customized to meet your dog’s unique needs, with a structure that aligns with your home life and routines. We believe that lasting change occurs when owners are equipped to continue the training, which is why every Board and Train package includes follow-up private sessions. These sessions ensure that you can maintain progress and address any challenges as they arise.
To provide the highest level of care and individualized attention, we limit our Board and Train programs to two dogs at a time, prioritizing your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall well-being.

Transform, Empower, Achieve
Behavior modification is a process designed to help change your dog’s emotional responses to specific triggers. Because these cases can be complex, behavior modification often requires ongoing effort and collaboration between both the trainer and the client.
Our commitment to your success:
At Elevate Dog, we don’t charge a separate “Behavioral Modification Rate” because we believe in being a long-term partner in your dog’s journey and do not want cost to be a restraint to your progress. Our goal is to work alongside you as a team, providing consistent support and guidance throughout the process.
We address a variety of behavioral challenges, including anxiety, leash reactivity, and mild aggression. Our approach is customized to your dog’s unique needs, ensuring a thoughtful and effective plan for lasting change.
