Adolescent/Adult Dog Training Programs

All of our programs are done as one-on-one lessons at your home or around town so that you can get the individual attention that you need.

The biggest difference between our dog training programs is the different levels of training goals and how much of the training we do for you to save you time and effort.

In the larger programs, we do the hard work for you by working with your dog one-on-one in jump-start training to escalate their progress. The more time we get to spend with your dog, the faster your dog will be reliably listening in a variety of situations, so you have more freedom to do the things you love with them.

People are astonished at the changes they see in their dog after the jump-start training!

We recognize that all dogs and owners are different, and we want to make sure you achieve your training goals. That’s why all of our dog training programs include support. That way you never have to worry about getting stuck.

Our programs are unique in that they are results-based. While each program has an average completion time listed, dogs who need extra time to complete the goals of their program are granted that time at no additional charge.

We serve areas within or near Berks and Lehigh County, Pennsylvania: Allentown, Bethlehem, Macungie, Alburtis, Kutztown, Hamburg, Leesport, Reading, Blandon, Fleetwood, Oley, ETC.

Loose Leash Walking Program:

Imagine being able to walk your dog without them pulling like a freight train!  No more pulling?  No dragging or lagging behind?  REALLY!?! n Yes, it IS possible!

No darting out the door like there’s a cat taunting your dog from across the street?  REALLY!?!  Yes, it IS possible!

Imagine your dog patiently waiting while you put on the leash, sitting politely as you open the door and anticipating your permission to start your walk.  Joyfully you walk down the street enjoying the sun, the birds and basking in the pleasure of a nice walk together.

With a few training strategies and consistency, there will be no more frustration or dread, just a nice enjoyable stroll that you can both enjoy.

This program is typically completed in 3 sessions and includes:

• Lifetime of email/text/phone support, to address any issues or concerns that may arise relating to loose leash walking.

*Bonuses:

• One free Group Walk per month (registration required).
• New client kit.

(This program is not suitable for dogs that bark and/or lunge at things in the environment.  Examples of things that might cause your dog to act this way are: other dogs, people, cars, bikes, small animals, etc.  If this sounds like your dog, we will need more time in the program to resolve these issues.  Please see the Elite Manners Dog Program.)

Fundamental Manners Dog Training Program:

Would you like for your dog to behave better around the house?  To not push their way through doorways?  Come to you when you call them instead of playing a game of “Catch me if you can” right before you have to leave for work?  And to not pull you down the street?

This training program will teach your dog those good manners that are needed around your house so you don’t have to worry about all of those day-to-day stressors.

I’m sure you never imagined having to chase your dog around the yard in order to get them in the house … especially right before you need to leave the house for work.  After this program, you won’t have to!

The Fundamental Manners Program is typically accomplished in two months or less and includes:

• 90-minute initial consultation where we’ll discuss your dog’s history, your lifestyle, and goals you have for your dog.
• One Jump-start session where a trainer will work one-on-one with your dog to get the dog training started. 
• As part of Jump-Start Training, you will get a personalized video of your dog and the trainer training so you can keep track of the progress and know what to work on.
• Four one-on-one sessions with you, your dog and the trainer.
• Manners like waiting at doors, not jumping on people, loose leash walking and more.
• Cues like leave it, coming to you when called around the house, staying calm when asked.

*Bonus

• One free Group Walk per month (registration required).

Elite Manners Dog Training:

Imagine having the dog you’ve always dreamed of!  A dog you can take places and be proud of.

When you first got your dog, you had your rose colored glasses on and thought life with your new fur baby was going to be perfect.

You thought your dog would greet your guests happily with kisses, but instead your guests get jumped on, slobbered and scratched.

You envisioned you and your dog taking nice, relaxing walks together, but instead you’re being drug down the street and nursing a sore shoulder the rest of the night.  It may even be to the point that you don’t want to go for those walks anymore.

Close your eyes for a moment and go back in time and remember why you wanted a dog in the first place.  Together, we can make this dream a reality!

The extra time the trainer spends with the jumpstart training of your dog AND the extra time spent with you will give you and your dog the best training experience with the best results!
