The In-Home Training Program

Would your dog benefit from an immersive and intensive training experience without losing the comfort of home? Does your dog have issues specific to your neighborhood or house that you’d like a professional trainer to address several times per week? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, this program is for you.

The In-Home Training Program is an alternative to the traditional board-and-train model. Instead of sending your dog away, the trainer will come to your home on a regular schedule to teach your dog the skills they need to thrive. You are welcome to join (watch and participate), or the trainer can work with your dog independently. Each session will include notes and pictures so that you know what your dog has been working on and can continue to support your dog’s success.

Scheduling

Training sessions are 1 hour in length and scheduled midday. Every session is customized to your training goals: time can be spent indoors, outside in your neighborhood, or on local field trips to pet-friendly stores and parks. The frequency of sessions and the time of day will be based on availability, as well as your dog’s behavior and goals.

Cat, Finn & Mimi

Cori is our 4th dog trainer and the first to make any real progress with our anxious dog Finn. Finn is a 45 lb bernedoodle with a big bark, and his anxiety has made him afraid when in crowded public spaces, walking on the street, in dog parks when dogs approach him and when new visitors visit our house. This had made our world a little smaller, as we couldn't take him many places with us or be comfortable having people over.

While many other trainers thought we needed to do board and train, my husband and I were more weary about this approach. Cori was flexible and was able to design a custom intensive program that enabled us to feel comfortable and get results.

Cori has been dedicated to helping us get to a place where Finn can feel comfortable out in the world with us. After working with Cori, Finn is better able to regulate his reactive emotions.

Instructions and homework prioritize real life experiences. The other day, we all went to cafe that allows dogs together to practice what this would really be like (which is our goal, to be able to take our dog with us sometimes and not be afraid he will ruin the experience for everyone).

For normies like me and my husband, dog training can be hard and emotionally draining, as it is not a perfectly linear activity. Cori's upbeat attitude, unconditional support and clear but not punishing (to dog or owner) training style makes it easier to keep with it. And we saw them 4x a week at our peak of training.

Cori is reliable, communicative and eager to accommodate new ideas and address concerns. We trust them to do the best by our dogs.
