Private training is done alone side our trainers. You learn as your dog learns and then between sessions you work on strengthening the learned behaviors. You will need to be able to dedicate at least 1 hour a day to training to keep up a good pace. This is along with the regular routine that your dog already has.

Day Training is for those who don’t have the time to dedicate to the training process, therefore we come and do it during the day. Day Training also involves detailed reports after each training session and 2 transfer sessions where we will teach you how to follow along with what your dog has learned.

Behavior Modification is for more difficult scenarios such as reactivity, anxiety, and training wanted behaviors to eliminate those which are undesirable. Behavior modification involves changing behavioral and emotional responses and more specifically, how your pet feels and acts in certain situations.

Getting a Puppy is no small thing! They require lots of attention, care and training.

We recommend our 15-session Day Training Package for new puppies. This 15-session package allows a trainer to do the bulk of the training and involves updates and transfer sessions to keep you on track so you can use the training at home between sessions.

WICD has many services that are GREAT for anxious dogs.

• Cooperative Care Training for Grooming or Veterinary Procedures allows dogs to safely, calmly and willingly participate in their much-needed care.
