The Family Package is designed to help you establish clear house rules while teaching essential manners and lifestyle skills for your dog. Whether your dog is new to the family or has been with you for years, our training focuses on building confidence and comfort in your home environment.
We work on practical skills like polite door greetings, reliable stay commands, “leave it,” loose leash walking, and addressing common problem behaviors such as barking and jumping. The goal is to equip your entire family with the tools needed to raise a well-mannered dog who behaves politely around people.
The Family Package includes personalized training plans based on your unique family dynamics and lifestyle. We start with simple, manageable steps and gradually increase difficulty as your dog masters each skill. It is ideal for families welcoming new dogs or blending pets into busy households. We focus on helping everyone in the home integrate smoothly and peacefully.
We recommend involving as many family members as possible in each session. This way, everyone learns how to work with the dog, ask questions, and stay consistent with house rules and commands. Consistency across the family reduces your dog’s confusion and frustration, leading to better behavior and stronger bonds.
Please note, this package is not for Reactive Dogs who bark and lunge at other dogs or people coming into the home. Please check out the Reactive Dog Package, which specializes in behavior modification for reactive dogs.
