Pricing & Programs

Choose a training path that matches your dog and your goals

Programs are organized by the level of support and reliability you want—not by a one-size-fits-all checklist. Final recommendations depend on age, behavior, history, location, and training goals.

Behavior Reset

Starting at $595

Customized support for reactivity, fearfulness, resource guarding, separation-related concerns, excessive barking, or other behavior that cannot be addressed responsibly through a standard program.

Behavior cases begin with a detailed conversation and assessment. Pricing and recommendations depend on severity, bite history, triggers, environment, owner goals, and the level of management required. Safety and realistic expectations come first.

Discuss a Behavior Concern

What affects the final recommendation?

Two dogs with the same visible problem may need different plans. A young dog pulling from excitement is not the same as a fearful dog lunging to create distance. We consider the full picture before recommending a program.

  • Dog’s age, health, and learning history
  • Number and seriousness of concerns
  • Home environment and family consistency
  • Difficulty of the places where skills must work
  • Any fear, aggression, or bite history
