Each card answers the four questions that drive action: who this is for, what level of investment to expect, how much time it takes, and what result it is built to create.

Parent Low-risk first step

Investment $199 — discounts often available for families ready to enroll

Time Full 4+ hour assessment day (drop-off ~9-10am, pickup ~3-4pm)

Best For Families deciding between multiple options

Value Removes guesswork, pressure, and overbuying

The PD360 Assessment is designed for families who are stuck. You bring your dog in for a full assessment day — drop-off around 9-10am, pickup around 3-4pm — while a senior trainer evaluates behavior, temperament, and triggers in person, not through a questionnaire. You walk through your dog's history, your household rhythm, and the specific frustrations that brought you here. The trainer then maps out a clear recommendation: the right program, the right timeline, and an honest cost expectation. No pressure to buy on the spot.

Expected Outcome: You leave with a written action plan tailored to your dog and your life. No more guessing between camp, DaySchool, private lessons, or group classes. PD360 is $199, with discounts often available, especially for families ready to sign up for a program — ask our team about active offers.

Required before Behavior Camp and Transform Camp
Strong fit when you are stuck between camp, DaySchool, and private help
The fastest way to replace uncertainty with a real plan

Book PD360 See pricing

Parent Fastest full reset

Investment Starts at $3,276

Time 14 nights plus owner follow-through

Best For Puppies, adolescents, and everyday manners that need a stronger reset

Value Gets your dog farther, faster than weekly DIY alone

Foundation Camp is an immersive board-and-train experience where your dog lives at our facility for 14 nights with daily professional training sessions. Your dog works on obedience fundamentals — sit, down, stay, come, place, leash manners — plus house manners like door thresholds, greeting guests calmly, and settling on command. Trainers work your dog in real-world distractions, not just a quiet training room. You receive progress updates and video throughout the stay, and owner coaching sessions teach you how to maintain every skill at home.

Expected Outcome: Your dog comes home with a reliable foundation in obedience and manners. You come away with the handling skills and follow-through plan to keep the progress. Most families describe the change as getting a completely different dog back — one that actually listens, settles, and fits into real life.

Includes private lessons, DaySchool days, and follow-up class value
Great for owners who want results and support, not just a drop-off experience
Often the right answer when life already feels too busy for trial and error

Parent Best for busy households

Investment $199-$599 per month

Time Ongoing weekly cadence

Best For Owners who need support while they work, commute, or juggle family life

Value Turns workdays into progress days

DaySchool is not doggy daycare. Your dog spends the day rotating through structured training sessions, supervised socialization, enrichment activities, and rest — all guided by professional trainers. Each visit reinforces obedience, impulse control, and social skills so your dog is actually improving while you are at work. You get daily check-ins and periodic progress reports so you can see what your dog is working on and where they are growing.

Expected Outcome: A dog that comes home tired, calmer, and better practiced — not just worn out from running around in a play yard. Over time, DaySchool dogs develop stronger impulse control, better social manners, and a steadier temperament that carries into the evenings, weekends, and everywhere else.

Built for repetition, accountability, and maintenance after a camp or assessment
Pairs well with Dog School Bus for households that value convenience
Strong fit for owners who want their dog tired, practiced, and better behaved after a normal weekday

Parent Lower-commitment skill builder

Investment From $65 drop-in or custom lesson pricing

Time Weekly sessions or one-on-one coaching

Best For Owners who want to stay directly involved and solve narrower goals

Value Great when you need skill-building without a full reset

Group classes run in 6-week sessions at both locations and cover everything from Puppy and Me to Level 3 Obedience, CGC Prep, and Agility Foundations. Private coaching gives you one-on-one time with a trainer to work on specific challenges — leash reactivity, recall, separation anxiety, or any behavior goal that needs focused attention. Both formats put you in the driver's seat so you build the skills and confidence to handle your dog in every situation, not just inside the training facility.

Expected Outcome: Stronger owner-dog communication, measurable skill improvement on specific commands or behaviors, and the confidence to handle your dog in real-world situations. Many families combine group classes with occasional private sessions for the best balance of community, accountability, and targeted problem-solving.

Excellent for manners, tune-ups, owner confidence, and ongoing accountability
Can work as a stand-alone path or a support layer after camp
Best when you want progress that fits a lighter budget or schedule

Common Questions Before You Choose

How do I know which program is right for my dog? +

Start with the 2-minute program quiz for a guided recommendation, or book a PD360 Assessment for an in-person evaluation with a senior trainer. If your dog is friendly and you mostly want manners, Foundation Camp, DaySchool, or group classes are typical starting points. If you are dealing with reactivity, aggression, or anxiety, the PD360 Assessment is the right first step.

Do I have to pay for the assessment if I enroll? +

No. The PD360 Assessment is $199 for a full day with a senior trainer. Discounts are often available, especially for families ready to sign up for a program — ask our team about active offers when you book. If you decide to wait, your assessment notes stay on file and inform any future plan.

What is the difference between Foundation, Behavior, and Transform Camp? +

Foundation Camp covers obedience and manners for friendly dogs. Behavior Camp addresses reactivity, anxiety, guarding, and aggression. Transform Camp is our longest, most intensive program for complex cases needing structural behavior change. Compare them side by side on the program comparison page.

Can I afford this? +

We offer financing with monthly payments as low as several hundred dollars per month, depending on the program. We will walk you through the numbers on your discovery call — no commitment.

What if I am still not sure after reading this page? +

That is exactly what a 20-minute discovery call is for. Tell us about your dog, your goals, and your constraints. A trainer (not a salesperson) will tell you which path fits — even if that path is a single private lesson rather than a full camp.

Pressure-test your choice

Talk through your recommendation

You just saw what we'd recommend. A 15–20 minute call with a trainer (not a salesperson) refines the plan: timing, fit, financing, and what to expect. If a smaller program is the right call, we'll tell you.
