The course

Six weeks, six commands.

One command a week, in order. Every class is short reps and clear feedback, and you leave with something specific to practice before the next one.

Week 01

Sit

Rear on the floor, eyes on you, every time you ask for it.

Week 02

Stay

Distance, duration and distraction, added one variable at a time.

Week 03

Come

A recall that holds when the world is more interesting than you are.

Week 04

Heel

Leash manners, turns and pace changes, without the pull.

Week 05

Settle

Calm at your side in busy places — the skill you use the most.

Week 06

Proof

The same commands, anywhere. Six weeks of practice, stacked up.

Other programs

Four more ways to train with us.

The six-week group is the main path. If it isn't the right place to start, or you want one thing worked on specifically, these are the other ways in.

Leash Manners

Walking without the pull. Pace changes, turns, and passing other dogs and people without a lunge at the end of the leash.

Program · 02

Puppy Socialization

For young dogs in their first months. New surfaces, new sounds, new people and other puppies, introduced at a pace your puppy can stay relaxed through.

Program · 03

Reactivity Rehab

For dogs who bark, lunge or shut down at other dogs or people. Work starts where your dog can still stay calm, and builds from there.

Private Sessions

One dog, one handler, one trainer. For specific goals, tight schedules, or dogs who do their best work away from a group.

How it runs

Small steps, walked in order.

  1. 01

    Start where your dog is

    Not every dog walks in at the same place. We start at the level your dog can already handle, then build forward from there.

  2. 02

    One command at a time

    Short reps, clear markers, and a release after each one. Six weeks is a stack of small wins, not one long lesson.

  3. 03

    Practice it in the real world

    Class is where a command gets learned. The proof is what happens on your street, in your park, on your walk.
