When Weekly Coaching Isn’t Enough

Some dogs need more time, repetition, structure, and hands-on training than weekly coaching alone can provide.

That’s when I take the leash and build the training directly with your dog.

I work directly with your dog to address serious behavior challenges, strengthen obedience, practice around real-world distractions, and build toward greater freedom.

12 Dog-Training Sessions

I Build the Training With Your Dog

During 12 private sessions, I work directly with your dog on the behaviors and skills included in their personalized training plan.

Depending on your dog, this can include behavior modification, advanced obedience, calm behavior around distractions, recall, place, down, stay, heel, and off-leash progression.

The Mini Educator

Clear Communication Beyond the Leash

When appropriate, the Mini Educator works like a wireless line of communication between you and your dog. It allows familiar cues to remain clear at a distance, even when a physical leash is no longer connecting you.

The tool is introduced thoughtfully and used to support advanced obedience, behavior modification, reliable recall, and responsible off-leash training. It is one part of the complete training plan—not a punishment or a replacement for teaching.

How the Mini Educator Works

The Mini Educator is a remote training system that offers adjustable stimulation, tone, and vibration. When appropriate, it is introduced at an individualized level and paired with commands the dog has already learned. Owners are coached on proper fit, timing, handling, and responsible use before using it independently.

5 Owner Coaching & Transfer Sessions

Training for Your Dog. Coaching for You.

After I build the training with your dog, I put the leash—and the communication—back into your hands.

During five private coaching and transfer sessions, you learn how to use the equipment, reinforce the training, handle challenging situations, and confidently continue your dog’s progress.

Questions Before You Begin

Level Up Program FAQ

Who is the Level Up Program for?

It is for Puppy or Transformation graduates, owners who want trainer-led support, dogs needing advanced proofing or more serious behavior work, and owners working toward dependable real-world or off-leash skills.

Is this a board-and-train program?

No. Your dog remains at home. I work directly with your dog during scheduled sessions and then transfer the training to you through private coaching.

Will an e-collar be used?

The Mini Educator may be introduced when appropriate for the dog, family, training foundation, and goals. The equipment and training process will be explained before it is used.

Does the program guarantee off-leash reliability?

No trainer can guarantee a specific result. Progress depends on the individual dog, owner participation, environment, consistency, and continued practice.

How is the program structured?

17 weekly 90-minute in-person sessions: 12 hands-on training sessions between me and your dog, plus 5 owner coaching and transfer sessions. The investment is $1,800.
