Family Dog Hybrid Program

The Family Dog Hybrid Program is perfect for self-motivated people who just need a bit of assistance getting their canine companion started in the right direction! Family Dogs know how to behave both inside and outside the home, so we'll work on expanding your canine companion's skill set and building on their good behavior. They will learn how to control their emotions, and most importantly, they'll learn how to behave in public settings!

The Family Dog Hybrid Program combines the freedom of training on your own time with the personal feedback, training tips, and real-life experience of your Personal Instructor!

Freedom And Convenience

The Family Dog Hybrid Program has built-in benefits! We took our Private Session Program, stripped it down to the basics, and tailored it to work for our self-motivated clients. It combines the freedom of training on your own time with the personal feedback, training tips, and real-life experience of your Personal Instructor.

Hybrid Programs are much more convenient for busy schedules. Instead of setting up a time to meet with your Personal Instructor, you simply log on to your Private Online Communication Station at your convenience and check out the new exercises. Practice those exercises on your own, take videos of your progress, then send those videos to your Personal Instructor to receive feedback!

Includes:

Personal Feedback Sessions with your Private Instructor
Private Online Communication Station - Review Training Exercises, Upload Videos, Receive Feedback From Your Personal Instructor
Public Problem Solving And Prevention Exercises
Certificate of Completion upon passing the final assessment
Reduced Rates On Future Hybrid Programs

Hybrid Program FAQ

The Best Of Both Worlds!

The Companion Dog Hybrid Program brings you the best of both worlds! Think about it... Household manners taught in the comfort of your own home. You also get to work with your canine companion on your own schedule, while still having access to your Personal Instructor who will guide you every step of the way!

Video Camera Required?

You can take a video using any device with video capabilities. Most of our clients use their phone to record their sessions.

This program builds on the Companion Dog Program. As before, you'll be taking videos of your activities and sharing them with your instructor. However, this time you'll be shooting in different locations! Alternate location options will depend upon your comfort level, your dog, and your Instructor's recommendation. The locations may include, but are not limited to, a groomer or veterinarian office, parks, Farmers Markets, and other public places.

Throughout the week you practice what was discussed. If you hit a snag, take a video! If you master a cue, take a video! Share those videos with your instructor. They will watch your videos and discuss them with you during your next session.T

Get What You give!

Seriously. If you don't practice, send us nothing, and don't talk to us, we can't help you. But if you enjoy spending time with your canine companion, love catching their antics on video, and enjoy speaking with other dog lovers, we are here for you!

Benefits For Life!

This program is a gift that keeps on giving because the benefits of a well-behaved canine are far-reaching. Household skills help your home become a better place to be. Leash skills help the outdoors to become fun outings again. Better social skills allow for more freedom both indoors and out! Manners and social skills also help for vet visits, grooming, and boarding. You'll be reaping the benefits of this program for years to come!

"Family Dog Programs have some very difficult exercises, so it is that much more amazing to me how quickly clients and their canine companions seem to fly through these challenges! I believe that it is because the clients who work up to this level have such a close bond with their canine. That bond allows them to anticipate each other's movements and work together almost seamlessly. It's beautiful to watch!"- Kara Brasmer
