In-Home Training — I come to you. Hands-on coaching in your dog’s real environment where behaviors actually happen. This is how BUILD, LAUNCH, and JOURNEY are delivered.
Virtual Training — Live video sessions where I watch and guide you in real time. Great for clients outside Brevard County or follow-up support. Sessions can be recorded for your reference.
Training at Trainer’s Location — For ELEVATE clients only. Intensive “trainer-only” days where I work directly with your dog on specific behavior challenges, then teach you how to maintain progress at home with personalized 1:1 sessions.
During your consultation, we’ll figure out which format fits your dog’s needs.

Most clients see noticeable improvements within the first week, with significant behavior changes by weeks 2-3.
Details: Every dog learns at their own pace, but our 1-on-1 approach, structured homework and check-ins, typically produces faster results than group classes. You’ll have the tools to maintain and build on progress throughout the program, and we provide ongoing support to ensure lasting success.
We provide in-home training throughout Melbourne, Palm Bay, Cocoa Beach, and surrounding Brevard County areas. Virtual training is available from anywhere!
Details: Our in-home sessions happen in your environment where your dog’s challenges actually occur. For clients outside our service area, virtual training sessions are $85/hour and highly effective for most training goals.

We don’t just train dogs – we empower you to become your dog’s trainer.
We come to you. Training happens in your home, on your schedule and where real life actually happens. No rushing across town to get to a class.
Structure that works. Weekly milestones, clear homework plans, and WhatsApp support between sessions. You always know what to do and if it’s working.
Results Guarantee. Follow the plan, and if your dog doesn’t hit the milestone, we keep working at no extra charge or refund your money no questions asked, no hassle. Most trainers won’t promise that.
Prevention is always easier than correction and that’s why we specialize in Year 1.
For puppies (8 weeks–4 months): Socialization done right. Controlled exposure to people, dogs, sounds, and environments where we build curiosity and confidence, not fear. A confident puppy doesn’t become a reactive adult and layering in obedience is a breeze.
For adolescents (4 months–1 year): This is when bad habits solidify or get fixed. We build impulse control, reliable obedience, and real-world focus before teenage rebellion turns into lifelong problems.
For both: You learn to read your dog and communicate clearly. When you understand what your dog is telling you and how they learn, you can guide them the right way before small issues become big problems.
That’s BUILD. That’s LAUNCH. That’s what Year 1 training is all about.
Once booked, sessions are non-refundable. Consistency is key to your dog’s progress, and we reserve that time exclusively for you.
Need to reschedule? Give us 24 hours notice and we’ll find a new time. Emergencies (illness, injury) are always an exception — just reach out.

We have a Results Guarantee
We’re confident in our methods. Follow the plan, submit your video proof, and if your dog doesn’t hit the milestone:
- 7-day extension with daily check-ins
- Extra 1:1 session at no charge
- Still not there after full effort? Request a refund + keep all resources.
Our goal is simple: Training that works, support that lasts, and a dog you’re proud to take anywhere.
We adjust. Every dog learns differently, and we have multiple strategies. If something’s not working, we change approach. That’s what the weekly sessions are for. And if you’re still not hitting milestones by Week 6, our Results Guarantee kicks in.
Yes, reactivity and behavior modification are specialties of ours. We use proven techniques to help dogs remain calm around their triggers.
Details: Reactive and aggressive behaviors often stem from fear, frustration, or poor socialization. Our approach focuses on:
- Understanding Triggers: Identifying what causes your dog’s reactions
- Counterconditioning: Teaching your dog to associate triggers with positive experiences
- Threshold Training: Working at distances where your dog can learn successfully
- Building Confidence: Helping fearful dogs develop coping skills
- Owner Education: Teaching you to read early warning signs and redirect before reactions escalate We’ve successfully helped dogs with leash reactivity, dog aggression, resource guarding, and fear-based behaviors.
Dogs of all ages, from 8-week-old puppies to seniors. We adjust our methods to match your dog’s life stage:
- Puppies (8 weeks–4 months): Socialization, confidence, and preventing bad habits before they start — that’s our BUILD program
- Adolescents (4 months–1 year): Impulse control, obedience foundations, and surviving the teenage phase — that’s LAUNCH
- Adult & Senior Dogs (1+ years): Behavior modification, new skills, or brushing up old ones — we’ll customize a plan
Training should be fun at any age and we make sure your dog loves it.
We provide personalized, in-home training focused on your specific challenges, while group classes teach general obedience with limited individual attention. Details: Key differences include:
- Personalized Attention: 100% focus on your dog’s unique needs vs. sharing instructor time with 8+ other dogs
- Real-World Training: We work where problems actually happen (your home, neighborhood) vs. classroom environments
- Flexible Pacing: Move at your dog’s speed vs. keeping up with class curriculum
- Ongoing Support: Unlimited contact during programs vs. limited class-time questions
- Behavior Issues: Address specific problems like reactivity, aggression, or fear vs. basic obedience only
- Convenience: No travel, weather concerns, or missed classes due to schedule conflicts
Structure + support. Every program has weekly milestones so you always know if you’re on track and not just hoping it’s working. You get WhatsApp access between sessions, a clear homework plan, and weekly check-ins to keep you moving forward.
Most trainers hand you a list and say “good luck.” We stay in your corner until your dog hits the goal.
