About OurHybrid TrainingDog Training

Day Train + Private Lesson Bundle

Looking for a unique dog training program that blends the intensity of day training with personalized private lessons? Our Hybrid Training Program combines a full immersive training day with follow-up private lessons and group classes to fast-track your dog’s obedience while keeping you actively involved.

Designed for dogs without behavioral issues or puppy training needs, this program focuses on foundational commands, leash manners, and handler skills through repetition and personalized coaching.


How the Hybrid Program Works

  • Start with one full day of immersive training, where our expert trainers work intensively with your dog to build repetition and focus.

  • Follow up with two personalized private lessons at our facility for hands-on coaching tailored to your dog’s needs.

  • Finish with three months of group classes to strengthen skills around distractions and in social environments.

This combination provides the best of both worlds: professional-led immersion to jumpstart learning and owner-involved sessions to reinforce and maintain progress.


Who Should Choose This Program?

  • Owners of dogs ready for consistent foundational obedience

  • Dogs that benefit from repetition and focused skill-building

  • Not recommended for puppies or dogs requiring behavioral modification

  • Perfect for owners who want efficient, hands-on training with expert guidance


What’s Included in the Hybrid Training Program

  • One full day immersive training session (extended, focused repetitions)

  • Two one-hour private coaching lessons (weekly)

  • Three months of group obedience classes

  • Emphasis on foundational obedience, leash handling, and clear communication

  • No behavioral support or puppy training included


Why This Hybrid Approach Works

Jumpstarting your dog’s training with immersive repetition creates a strong foundation that accelerates learning. Personalized private lessons allow us to tailor coaching to your unique bond and environment. Group classes ensure skills remain reliable in everyday distractions, making this a comprehensive and efficient method to improve obedience and handler confidence.
