Is your puppy…
- biting everything in sight?
- struggling to settle?
- unsure in new places or around new people?
- adorable… but a little overwhelming?
You’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not too late.
Puppy FUNdations is designed to guide young puppies through the most important stage of development with confidence, clarity, and support. This course focuses on early socialization, engagement, handling comfort, calm behavior, and the foundational life skills every puppy needs to grow into a stable, well-adjusted companion.
Rather than quick fixes, we focus on building the right habits from the very beginning—so you and your puppy can enjoy life together now and in the future.
If you’re looking for a structured, positive start that sets the tone for everything that follows…
this is the place to begin.
Maybe your dog already knows the basics…
but real life still feels unpredictable.
Do you wish your dog were:
- more reliable around distractions?
- more focused on you in public?
- calmer, more confident, and easier to handle?
- ready for the next level of training—but you’re not sure where to go?
TotalDog Development is where foundation skills become real-world capability.
This intermediate-to-advanced course blends practical obedience, confidence building, and well-rounded skill development to create dogs who are not just trained—but dependable, adaptable, and prepared for more.
Whether your goals include:
- advanced manners
- dog sports
- therapy or service pathways
- higher-level working training
- or simply a truly reliable companion
This course builds the bridge between basic obedience and a fully capable dog.
If you’re ready to move beyond the basics and start seeing meaningful transformation…
TotalDog Development is your turning point.
Does your dog…
- ignore you when distractions appear?
- pull on the leash or struggle in public?
- know a few commands at home but forget them everywhere else?
- feel more chaotic than companionable?
You’re not failing—your dog just needs clear guidance and real-world structure.
Companion Foundations focuses on the everyday skills dogs need to live successfully with their people. We build dependable manners, clearer communication, and practical obedience that works outside the training room, not just inside it.
This course is ideal for:
- adolescent dogs
- newly adopted dogs
- adult dogs without prior training
- families ready for real progress
If your goal is a dog you can actually enjoy living with—calm in the home, manageable in public, and responsive to you—
this is your next step.
Is your dog…
- reactive, anxious, or easily overwhelmed?
- calm at home but explosive in public?
- struggling to stay neutral around dogs, people, or movement?
- capable of obedience—but unable to stay emotionally regulated?
You are not alone—and your dog is not beyond help.
Composed Canine is designed for teams who need more than obedience.
This course focuses on emotional stability, impulse control, neutrality, and confident calm behavior in real-world environments.
Here, we work toward a dog who can:
- think instead of react
- settle instead of escalate
- move through the world with confidence instead of stress
Because true training isn’t just about commands—
it’s about composure.
If your goal is a dog who feels safe, steady, and manageable in everyday life…
this is where real change begins.
