Pups know how to get what they want and jumping is one of the main issues parents have in the beginning. Will they outgrow it? Usually not! And, as your pup gains strength and size, jumping could turn to full-on tackling.
A reliable recall could be one of the most life-saving disciplines you and your pup develop! Hopefully your pup won't be in a life or death situation. But even for everyday functioning your pup needs to know that when you call them, you expect them to respond the first time. Trust (not dominance) is the path to this behavior.

She has over 2 decades of experience coaching people to their best performance and well-being and is dedicated to empowering you to be your pup's most trusted and effective leader while also being mindful of your own well-being. These private coaching sessions are a unique and vital component of you and your pup's success. Each coaching session is designed to support and empower you, the parent, on effective leadership for your unique pup's temperament style, energy level, role, and guide you to overcome any specific challenges or circumstances.
How much do I have to participate?
For 16 full days and nights you get a well-deserved and guilt-free break as your pup will be onsite at our facility for training! PPPS is a 6 week program. Week 1 and 6 your pup will be home with you and you will participate in 4 virtual private coaching sessions (60 minutes each). Weeks 2-5 is the 4-week onsite full-immersion portion of the program (aka stay, play, train). Thus, you will only participate on the weekends (Friday-Sunday night) when your pup is back home with you. This time is where we practice transfer of leadership and learning, test your home environment, and tweak systems to fit your unique set up.
What training method do you use?
While our program delivers fast results, we never use aggressive or harsh training methods. We use positive reinforcement, trust-based leadership, patience and focus, along with consistent and deliberate practice in an intentional environment. Our full-immersion approach to learning in combination with one-on-one leadership coaching with our pup parents is how we deliver optimal results quickly but safely. Our training methods put your pup's well-being ahead of his/her performance. This creates an optimal state of learning for every training session. Our curriculum was developed by Pet Expert and Animal Planet's Host Travis Brorsen and Academy Training Solutions. Our tried and true curriculum and dedicated approach, provide you and your pup with a positive, purposeful, and powerful training experience
