Inside the Program

What the weeks actually look like.

This is a template, not a formula. Every plan is built around the dog in front of us, and it changes when the dog tells us it needs to. If your dog needs a different order, more time on one thing, or a completely different approach, that is what we do. Nothing here is fixed.

Care & Safety

While your dog is with us.

  • Fully insured through The Hartford — $1M per occurrence, $2M aggregate
  • Close working relationships with Marion Animal Hospital, Schertz Animal Hospital, and Cibolo Small Animal Hospital
  • If your dog needs medical attention, you're contacted and consulted on the plan before we act
  • Owners handle drop-off and pick-up, so you see where your dog is staying

Which dogs we take.

Puppies can start as early as 8 weeks, though 4 to 6 months is the sweet spot — the earlier we start, the better the result. For adult dogs, we don’t rule anything out up front. Every decision is made after the free consultation and a hands-on evaluation.

The Promise

What we guarantee.

We don’t offer money-back guarantees on living animals. We offer something better.

Lifetime Alumni Status

Complete any program and our door stays open. Free text and phone support, plus complimentary tune-up sessions, for the life of your dog.

No Template Training

Every dog has different genetics, temperament, and history. You get a plan built for your dog, with realistic timelines and complete transparency about method.

Owner Empowerment

A trained dog is half the equation. You get hands-on handler coaching and the exact skills to command your dog confidently in public.
