TRAINER: Micah Stalder

Visitations / 1-On-1 Sessions:
Our programs are designed to not keep you away from your dogs for long. When you come for your training sessions ask us lots of questions! This is your time to learn more about handling your dog. Before your dog goes home, we will take the time to teach you everything your dog has learned and how to best handle your dog going forward. While your dog is in training you will have unlimited communication with their trainer.
What To Bring:
Make sure your dog has a snug neck collar on and remember to keep them leashed going to and from your car to avoid any accidents. Bring your dog's breakfast and any treats or toys you know your dog LOVES! If your dog needs medications, etc. this will be addressed in the form below. We are happy to keep your pup comfortable during their stay!
Guarantees:
When working with dogs and humans, behavior cannot be guaranteed. Dogs are not robots. No matter how much work we put in or how well we train, life is still going to happen. That being said, much of your dog's long lasting results will be based on how well their learned behaviors are maintained.
The truth is, finding a trainer who is experienced, personable, and uses positive, gentle methods is more important than a guarantee of a quick fix. Any ethical trainer will strive to work with you until your dog’s problems are solved, no price gauging involved. If you cooperate with us as we work with your dog and put in the time and effort to practice with your dog in a kind, consistent manner, not only will new skills be learned for you and your dog, but behavior problems get solved. With our training, you have the opportunity to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Our focus in working with you and your dog is to teach your dog the basic obedience behaviors (meaning your dog's understanding of what is being asked is clear), transfer as much of that knowledge over to you as we can so that you feel equipped and confident to maintain your dog's obedience the rest of their life. I want you to be happy about the investment of training your dog and I'm willing to work with you to make that happen.
Why The Day Train Program?:
The day train program is designed to create lasting results while keeping your dog’s routine at home intact. With weekly training sessions over six weeks, your dog learns and practices new behaviors regularly, reinforcing obedience skills in real-life settings without the stress of a long separation. This approach ensures that each skill is practiced consistently and gives you, as the owner, the opportunity to see their progress, ask questions, and continue training techniques at home. Plus, the weekly sessions keep your dog engaged and excited to learn, making the day train program both an effective and enjoyable experience for them!
