Foundational Trainingis the right fit if…
- Family dogs that need calm house manners and reliable basic commands.
- Dogs that pull on leash, jump on guests, or do not come when called.
- Owners who want to take their dog more places without dreading the experience.
- Puppies past 4–5 months who are ready for structured training.
It's not the right fit if…
- Your dog has bitten a person or another dog — that is a Custom Training case.
- Your dog has severe leash reactivity or anxiety — Transformational or Custom is the right tier.

Questions we hear about Foundational Training
What commands will my dog actually know when they come home?+
Come, sit, down, place, off, leave it, drop it, and heel — proofed against distance, distractions, and duration. Plus calm house manners: settle, polite door behavior, no jumping on guests.
Is 1–2 weeks really long enough?+
For the goals Foundational targets — a dog that listens in the house and on a leash — yes. The program runs multiple short sessions a day with deliberate rest, which is how dogs actually consolidate skills. If your dog needs more (severe reactivity, off-leash reliability, behavior rehab), we'll tell you on the consult call and recommend Transformational or Custom instead.
Can I visit during the program?+
Most of the time, no — and on purpose. The dog needs to settle into the new routine so the training takes. You will get daily photos and short videos in a private group chat so you see what they are learning every day. You see the dog in person at the go-home lesson.
What if my dog regresses at home?+
Almost every regression is the handler getting inconsistent, not the dog forgetting. The go-home lesson teaches you the exact mechanics. Foundational includes 3 in-person refresher sessions so you have a place to come back when things slip, and your trainer chat line stays open for the life of the dog.
