Dog Training Packages
*The prices listed below do not include training tools (e-collar, prong, leashes, etc). We can however, advise you on which tools you will need and can provide suggestions as to where to buy them.
Puppies (under 4 months)
As age and training needs vary puppy by puppy, we ask that you please reach out to us directly at meg@petaupairs.com to discuss your goals for training. We do offer one-on-one and Sit and Train programs for puppies.
Training Day Camp | $75/day
We find that having your dog for a couple hours gives us the opportunity to train in multiple, short sessions with breaks in between, allowing the dog to absorb more information without maxing out their attention span.
Available Mondays through Thursdays from 2:30pm to 5pm. Pickup and Drop-off, from your home, available for an additional fee. Most of the below programs are available for Training Day Camp as well as customized programs developed specifically for your dog.
Foundational Obedience | $600
Basic obedience commands lay the foundation for good behavior. Whether you have a young dog you want to get off to a great start or an older dog who needs a bit of a re-set, Foundational Obedience can bring out the best in your dog and set them up for continued success.

Leash Obedience | $300
