homeschool: how it works
96% of people choose the Homeschool program.
1: customize your training agenda
Schedule a consultation with our dog trainers in Carlsbad to build your custom-tailored training plan specific to your lifestyle and your dog's personality.
Following your phone consultation, you'll receive an email package with everything you need to get started in one place. A signed training agreement and a $199 deposit officially reserve your training dates.
2: complete a 3-week program
Monday through Thursday each week consists of one-on-one training sessions between dog(s) and trainer in your Carlsbad home and neighborhood. This minimizes distractions for both dog and trainer so learning can efficiently take place. You do not need to be home.
Friday each week consists of a private coaching session with the family. Your trainer will explain what and how your dog learns, demonstrate their new skills, and coach each owner through using the new skills in the real wor.
3: plan continued education
Following your 3 week program, your dog has lifetime priority access to our Petsitting Program, our Varsity Subscription, and After-School Programs like agility, nosework, rally obedience, trick training, and more!
The Varsity Subscription covers one session with your trainer monthly to tweak, improve, and add on to your dog's skills.
In addition, the Homeschool program includes 2 free follow-up sessions.
