INSTINCTIVE CANINE IN-HOME TRAINING
Why I Believe In-Home Training Creates Lasting Results
The goal isn't to create a dog that only listens to me.
My goal is to teach you enough about your dog's behavior that you'll continue making progress long after the program ends.
That's why owner education is part of every lesson and That's why every lesson happens where those behaviors naturally occur… your home, your routine, and your everyday life.
WILL THIS REALY SOLVE YOUR YOUR FRUSTRATIONS?
How Will In-Home Training Help You
Every lesson is designed to help both you and your dog succeed together by building real life skills in the environment where they matter most.
Learn Where Real Life Happens
Your dog learns in the same environment where they live every day, your neighborhood, your routines, and your distractions. Training becomes practical because it's happening where the behaviors naturally occur.
Understand the "Why," Not Just the "How"
I don't just show you what to do. I teach you why your dog behaves the way they do, how they naturally learn, and how your communication and leadership influence every interaction.
Personalized Coaching Every Step of the Way
Every home, every family, and every dog is different. Instead of applying a one-size-fits-all approach, your training is customized to your lifestyle, your goals, and the real challenges you're facing each day.
Build Lasting Habits Together
Your dog receives professional training while you learn alongside them from day one. By practicing together throughout the program, you're building habits and consistency that continue long after training is complete.

“I had a great experience working with Jon. I have a 1 1/2 year old golden retriever and Jon was able to work with him from a young age and has done exactly what I had hoped from him when we started this process. Right away we talked and he wanted to understand exactly what I was looking for in the training which was mainly obedience, and e collar training.”

Common Questions About Puppy Success
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our Puppy Program is ideal for families who want to start their puppy off the right way and are committed to being involved in the training process. If you're looking for a quick fix or expect someone else to do all the work, this program may not be the best fit. We believe lasting results come from teaching both the dog and the owner to communicate with confidence.
-
The Puppy Program is designed to prepare your dog for the next stage of training. Once your puppy has a strong foundation in communication and leadership, many families continue into our Instinctive Foundation Program or Instinctive Foundation Plus Program, where we develop reliable on-leash obedience and prepare for real-world distractions.
-
That's completely normal. Puppies are still learning how the world works. Our program focuses on teaching understanding, building routines, and creating consistent expectations rather than expecting perfection from day one. Every puppy progresses at their own pace.
