Dogs don't come with instructions, but we 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 ABSAV 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 show you how to create clarity with your dog, how to connect, how to play, and how to leverage all of that to create a well-mannered pup. 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, what brings them joy, tapping into that joy, and creating clarity in the communication so that you and your dog are speaking the same language.

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 during the day for training. So if you ever fantasized that you could just drop off your dog for training? Whelp, you totally can. Our city studios are dreamy places where pups can learn manners and life-saving skills like dropping items or coming when called, by passionate professionals who 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.

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 be impulse control, increased responsiveness, play that suits their breed traits and 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.

Our Farm Dog Program aims to give dogs what they need- biological fulfillment, in a natural environment that truly serves the dog. Dogs are securely transported from our bus stops in Old City and East Falls to our private fenced farm in the country for the best days of their lives. 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! Membership is available for continued attendance weekly.
