Hands-Off Training (Trainer Takeover Programs)

Personalized, hands-off, and designed to ease your load.

​

Our Trainer Takeover programs are for busy families, professionals, or overwhelmed dog owners who want results without doing all the work themselves. If you're struggling to stay consistent or simply don't have the time to train, I'll do the heavy lifting - then show you how to keep it going at home.

Please note: Availability is very limited. Only one dog accepted at a time to ensure dedicated focus and consistent results. Spots are scheduled on a first-come, first served basis. 

​

Unlike board-and-train programs, your dog stays in their familiar environment where learning is more relaxed and effective. There's no stressful separation, no risk for regression when they return home - just steady, real-life progress with ongoing coaching to support you.

​

While I'll do the foundational work for you, your involvement is still essential. Dogs thrive with consistency - which means reinforcing the training between sessions and staying engaged with their progress. This is how we ensure long-term success. 

​​

You'll walk away with:

  • A dog who has been professionally trained at home in real-life scenarios

  • A personalized training plan tailored to your household and goals

  • Clear coaching during transfer sessions so you can confidently maintain what your dog has learned

​

This program is ideal for families who want expert help but still want to stay involved in their dog's success without sending their dog away.
