Your Dog. Your Goals. Your Town.
Wherever you are in the world, we want to help you create epic adventures and lots of great memories with your dog. We know you're busy, on-the-go, barely stopping to take a breath. But sometimes a little coaching along the way can make the journey even better!
We bring our dog expertise to you in these one-on-one virtual dog training lessons held online through video conferencing technology. This way you don't have to stop the adventure for very long in order to get personalized help for the challenges or goals you are working on with your best adventure buddy.

Virtual Dog Training FAQs
-
We schedule our session just like any other appointment, except that we meet virtually in a Zoom Video Conferencing room. We go in-depth about your goals and challenges with your dog(s), and then we work out a training plan. Just like our in-person lessons in Colorado, this plan may include multiple components, including, but not limited to, Management, Training, Behavior Modification, Enrichment, and Exercise. For follow-up sessions, we discuss progress and further challenges and then move on to the next step of the training plan when you and your dog are ready.
-
For any homework that we want to give you and your dog to work on together, we will discuss this in detail during our session (we're really good about explaining things hands-off - we practice this at our in-person sessions with reactive dog students every day!) and also provide you with any applicable handouts and video links for additional support.
-
Whether we meet once or multiple times, we are available to answer emailed questions about any of the things you are working on with your dog that we covered in our session! If your question can be answered in under 5 minutes, we’ll happily do that between our other sessions. If you have videos for us to review, or need a longer explanation or more detailed modification to your behavior training plan, we can schedule an “offline” lesson on our calendar (charged to your package or card on file) to get you that detailed email & video review support!

Our passion is teaching humans how to teach their dogs - because of this, we practice a mostly hands-off teaching approach even with our in-person clients. We believe that the real, lasting change comes from improving your confidence and know-how in your dog training skills and thus boosting your relationship with your own dog - something that can't always be achieved as easily when handing over the leash to a dog trainer and letting them build that rapport with your dog instead. So while there are certainly a few skills and challenges that may be more difficult to fully master in the online session format (and we have a great referral network of trainers all over the country for those cases!), we are certain that whatever the scenario, we can help you make progress to your goals with your best adventure buddy.
