3 Session Puppy Starter Package $429
Getting off on the right paw has major benefits when it comes to dog training. We often refer to puppy training as "setting the sail" so that we can have an enjoyable trip. We address potty training, crate manners, nuisance behaviors and lay the foundation for future obedience. With these (3) in-home sessions we will ensure that you have the right environment, philosophies and tools/techniques to set you up for both short term and long term success. An ounce of prevention is worth it's weight in gold.

FaceTime Training Sessions: 1 on 1 with a trainer ($95/session)
Whether it's a distance issue or just more convenient to work together remotely we've got you covered. We were a little hesitant to do this at first, however, it's been working out very well for our long distance clients. There is something about being able to coach you through the training without physically being there to "disrupt" the dog that has made these sessions very successful.
**If you've got minor nuisance behaviors you're curious about or you need some major information to make some major changes don't hesitate to call.
In-Kennel Training Options
"Let us put the work in. We have been blessed with a beautiful property that we've been tailoring for roughly 6 years to create the most effective and fun environment for dogs."
In this program your dog will stay in our training facility we call The CalmPound. We are situated on 5.5 acres of protected forest land alongside our home residence. It is nestled on a small part of the Eastern Shore of Maryland called Eden which is just minutes south of Salisbury, MD. The focus and duration of this program will be customized specific to your dogs needs and goals. Our trainers and staff work diligently during your dog’s stay to lay the foundation and fundamental principles that will create a more clear and obedient mind set. We then educate you, the dog owner, so that the transition home is a success.

This program will be tailored to your needs where the stay is under 14 nights. We utilize this program on a case by case basis to ensure the best outcome for you and your dog.
