It's time to start enjoying life with your dog that you always knew was possible!
Board and Train Program
At least one lesson is required with the trainer to see if this program is suitable for you and your dog. This is a more intensive program where your dog stays with a trainer in their home. Receiving daily training and sticking to a schedule that best fits your dog. Depending on what training is needed, the board and train program will last three weeks or longer. With one in-person lesson, once a week to ensure that you are part of the process.
Board and Train duties include daily obedience training, behavioral modification, socialization, exercise, feeding, grooming and environmental management to prevent unwanted behaviors. Two free follow up sessions, owner training and progress updates are included.
In-home Evaluation
An in-home evaluation is a professional assessment conducted to evaluate the dog's behavior, temperament, and training needs within their familiar environment. This allows the trainer to observe real life interactions, routines, and triggers that may influence behavior, such as reactions to family members, other pets or household activities. Every dog is unique in their own way. A tailored training program will be developed following the evaluation, aligning with the family's lifestyle and objectives by addressing specific issues.
Depending on training requirements the trainer may provide management strategies and hands-on training during the session for preparation for an upcoming lesson.
In-Home Lessons
(Minimum of 4 lessons)
Dogs with reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, hyperactivity, biting/nipping, resource guarding or high prey drive must go through the board and train program.
After the initial in-home evaluation, the trainer will identify the struggles you want to subside or the expectations you desire and illustrate effective training techniques to properly communicate with your pup. Focusing on teaching obedience commands, addressing behavioral issues, and building a strong bond between the dog and owner in a familiar, low-distraction environment. The entire household will learn how to communicate with the dog using consistent cues and rewards, reducing confusion.
A detailed guide, customized exercises and check-ins by text/phone to reinforce learning between sessions will be included.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: There are No refunds for training programs. Guarantee: If the program is complete, and you have proof that you maintained training for the full 90 days and you don’t see a marked improvement in your dog’s top 3 behavioral issues, you will receive 2 free 1-on-1 sessions. If you’re still not satisfied after that, you’ll receive a full refund.
Filming transformations for case studies and social proof are required. If you choose to opt out, this must be agreed upon. Purchase of training tools may be required. All training tools suggested are safe and effective when used properly by the handler. It is important to note that training will require maintenance once the dog is finished with the program. The success of structured training relies on the joint effort to ensure clarity, understanding, and communication to achieve long-term training results!

"I appreciated how Ashley listened to my needs and concerns without judgement and met us where we were in the training process. Her knowledge about dog breeds and their corresponding needs was so valuable and led me to understand what I had to provide for Fidget and why. Ashley's availability to do onsite training and flexibility in scheduling meant we had her coaching and support when and where it was needed most. I cannot thank Ashley enough for her patience and expertise!"
Shannon with Fidget

"Ashley helped transform my rescue pup, Gunner. He really struggled to walk on the leash and became reactive when he saw other people and dogs. With just one lesson Ashley showed me how to handle him properly during these instances and now I have no more issues with him when we go on walks! I am very grateful I found Ashley!"
