Our Instinctive Foundation Plus Program provides a clear, step-by-step training system that replaces confusion with communication.

What Is the Foundation Plus Program?

The Instinctive Foundation Plus Program builds on our Foundation training by taking your dog's communication and obedience beyond the leash. This private, 15 -20 day in-home program combines structured training, owner education, real world experience, and proper e-collar conditioning to help you work toward greater freedom with your dog.

The e-collar isn't a shortcut or a replacement for training. It's another communication tool. You'll learn how the e-collar works, when to use it, how your dog responds to it, and how to incorporate it with the communication and obedience already established through the Instinctive Foundation Program.

Every dog progresses differently, and no responsible training program can guarantee complete off-leash reliability within a specific number of days. Our goal is to give you and your dog the skills and education needed to continue building that reliability together.

How The In-Home Training Process Works

Our process is designed to make training simple, personalized, and practical. Every step takes place where your dog lives, learns, and spends time with the people who matter most.

Step 1 free dog training consultation to discuss your dog’s behavior, training goals, and program options.
Step 2 in-home dog training assessment to observe behavior, identify underlying issues, and create a personalized training plan.
Step 3 personalized in-home dog training focused on training your dog while educating you to build reliable everyday behaviors.
Step 4 long-term dog training success with continued owner knowledge, skills, and support for lasting behavior.

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.
