Training
There aren’t many places better than Austin for a well-trained dog! Whether enjoying our numerous on- and off-leash trails, shopping, or relaxing at an open-air café or trailer eatery, a well-mannered dog can go more places with you.
Our dog training programs help you develop a solid relationship between you and your dog built on trust, understanding and clear communication. With our diverse background in dog training and learning theory, we’ll customize your program based on your dog’s learning style -- even for dogs that have been labeled difficult or impossible to train.
Our personalized training programs help you to address your needs, on your schedule, in the way that is most productive for you, your dog, and your family. Our goal is to provide real-world obedience that enriches both your life, and the life of your dog.
Programs
We offer Canine Camp, Day Camp, and Private Lesson programs
Canine Camp:
If you have a hectic schedule, or are traveling, Canine Camp is for you! The ultimate convenience, your dog will stay with us while he learns. When you pick your dog up, you’ll receive an extensive turnover lesson where you will learn to communicate effectively with your dog, and how to apply his new skills to your lifestyle. Follow-up lessons are held at your home or an agreed location to help you build confidence in real-world situations.
Camp Manners: $1100
Your pup will learn basic manners (Come, Sit, Stand, Down, Wait, Leash Walking, and Place) and enjoy playtime with friends in a camp setting.
When you pick your pup up, we’ll have him bathed and his nails trimmed. You’ll then have a lesson to learn his new skills, and to discuss how to apply his training to your everyday life. Once you’re home, you’ll have 3 more lessons at your disposal to help you learn even more, at home or out in public!
Movie Star: $1100
We’ll teach your dog the basic skills needed to perform in front of the camera, as well as a few tricks to help him/her stand out! Prerequisite: trainer evaluation of obedience level.
Weekly Camp: $400
Is your dog coming for a short stay? Have a specific training issue you’d like to address? We’ll evaluate your needs and help you decide the best option for you.
Day Camp: $800
This is a 10-lesson series. Drop off between 8:00-8:30am and pickup lesson by appointment.
Great for the owner who wants to be involved in the entire learning process. Your dog will visit us twice/week and receive a lesson with the trainer, playtime with friends, and a lesson with you when you pick up. You will then be given homework to practice between visits.
Private Lessons:
Private lessons are available at the on and off site. Schedule with Melanie Weaver at (512) 288-6928.
