Liberty Day Training Program

Who is this program for?

The Liberty Day Training Program is designed for owners who want an off-leash, reliable dog and want to be involved step-by-step in the training process. This program relies heavily on your participation and dedication to working with your dog outside of training days.

How the Program Works

Training Schedule:

Your dog joins us for a full day of training, one day a week for three weeks.

During the day, we focus on:

* Getting to know your dog.

* Building a strong foundation in obedience and manners.

* Exposing them to new people and environments away from home.

Private Sessions:

After each full day of training, you will attend a one-hour private session with your dog.

In this session, we cover:

– What your dog learned that day.
– How they responded to new skills, people, dogs, and the environment.
– How to use voice commands, hand signals, and equipment effectively.
– You will receive training videos and cheat sheets to reinforce learning at home.

Our trainers will guide you step-by-step with your dog to ensure you feel confident practicing and advancing their skills.

Your Role:

Between sessions, you are responsible for practicing and reinforcing what your dog has learned at home. Consistent practice is essential to achieve a reliable, off-leash dog.

Your Responsibilities

Before Training:

Be transparent about your dog’s challenges, history, and your goals.

During Training:
– Complete homework using videos and cheat sheets.

– Treat training like raising a child: every interaction is an opportunity to teach your dog expectations.

After Training:
– Reinforce commands and manners at home consistently.
– Understand your dog will still have personality and instincts—they are not robots!
– You can reach out to us anytime for guidance via text, phone, or in-person support.
