Dogs don’t come with instructions, but we do have the secret decoder ring

Truth be told, we’re just dog-loving robots that need puppy cuddles to stay alive. So, you should really, really bring your new puppy to our socials. Besides that, no pressure, socials are a great way to facilitate exposure and go at your pup’s pace with the guidance of a trainer. Socials are a great add-on to any training program, and a great way to get to know us.

We’ll be indoors at our city studios and in and outdoors on the trails at our private fully-fenced farm. We align with the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior's position statement on early socialization. Socials are for dogs between 10 weeks and 6 months.

Our puppy classes come with a boatload of resources to answer your puppy questions and support your learning from day 1. Our classes are designed to help you build clarity in the communication with your dog, build confidence and impulse control and understand how to leverage play for all sorts of learning goodness. Classes meet weekly for 5 weeks on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings.

Or opt for our Ultimate Puppy Program, which includes a 5-week group training class, 2 one-on-one lessons, and 4 puppy socials, plus our curated kit of essential puppy equipment picked especially for your pooch. Puppies can begin classes or this program from the age of 10 weeks-6 months.

Our 1:1 lesson programs are curated to dial in on better understanding your dog, creating clarity in the communication, troubleshooting what you need for lifestyle manners or behavior modification.

Our programs include immersive online learning to bring you up to speed on a speaking dog so we maximize our time together when we meet for lessons.

We will work indoors and out in nearby green spaces or at our farm on open and wooded trails. Lessons can be booked at our city and farm studios, or virtually, at your convenience.

Day-training dogs hang with us in our city studios or head to our private farm in the country during the day for training. Our city studios and farm are dreamy places where pups can learn manners and life-saving skills like dropping items or coming when called, by passionate professionals that truly see them for who they are and keep their big personalities intact.

While we get rolling with training, we’ll then hand over the reins and bolster your skills as a dog parent. This program is a great way to get support, better understand your dog’s unique needs and be able to concentrate on developing your skill set.

Day Training begins with 3-6 weeks of manners and mentorship. Our program includes 1:1 lessons to loop you in each week.

Farm dog is our off-leash training program and dog social club open to program graduates or dogs new to us. Dogs are securely transported from our bus stops in the city to our private fenced farm in the country for the best days of their lives and training. Dogs local to our farm drop off and pick up from our farm.

We work on manners, leash skills, and refining off-leash skills. Dogs return home exhausted, biologically fulfilled, and smarter. Win-win! Weekly and monthly membership is available.

Our Board and Train program is offered at our quiet, country farm just north of Philadelphia where dogs are trained several times a day throughout their stay in our studio and go on training hikes and immersive outings that mimic real life for your pup.

Young puppies come for a short stay to kickstart their learning and allow for ample socialization with mentor dogs and with off-leash hiking on our nature tails and telling ghost stories by the campfire at night.

For teenage knuckleheads, we begin with building communication where it’s lacking and creating clarity where it’s questionable. We’re looking to help develop impulse control, increased responsiveness, play that suits their breed traits, and being meaningful to our dogs, so our time together is optimized.

For dogs struggling with behavioral challenges like barking and lunging on leash, reactivity, resource guarding, aggression, or any stress-related behavioral issue, we begin with reestablishing communication, play and biological fulfillment, and then layer this with lessons to focus on creating new, adaptable strategies vs. old habits. We begin with our 3-week foundation program, then dogs return for a short stay to fine-tune whatever is needed, which is great for when you are going on vacation and wouldn’t mind a little farm spa learning reboot for your fuzz butt.

Evaluations are designed to make sure our training team has the best possible understanding of your dog and your lifestyle, to make sure that the program recommended will help you achieve your goals. Virtual or In-studio.
