Guiding Your Dog in Their World
The Groundwork is an in-home immersion program where we do the training directly in your dog’s living environment. By working where your dog eats, plays, and rests, progress feels natural and immediately relevant.
Unlike one-on-one coaching, The Groundwork is trainer-led. We handle the daily sessions, guiding your dog through obedience, manners, and emotional balance, while weaving training into the rhythms of your household. Periodic lessons keep you in the loop so you can confidently maintain what’s been built.
Because sessions are woven into your dog’s home life, The Groundwork naturally supports families who also need daytime care. While we train, your dog’s daily needs are met — making it an ideal fit for owners balancing both training goals and the reassurance of drop-in visits.
This approach offers the structure and focus of a board & train, but without your dog ever leaving home. It’s an immersive reset designed for real-world results in the very space your dog calls their own.
Investment: $225 per session (1 hour sessions)
Optional add-ons: Bath, nail trim, deshedding
