Different Programs Available... to fit what you, and your dog, needs!
I offer several different program and service options to fit your needs.
In the last few years, Group classes have tended to fall out of popularity with many people for many reasons, including, limited time/day availability for many people, and group targeted training profile doesn't fit many dogs/owners specific needs. For this reason Group classes are only scheduled on a very limited basis. For a more in depth program based on what you and your unique dog require, any program can be modified to your needs, such as if you have multiple dogs, need in-home privates, or other unique situations.

PROGRAMS:
The following programs can take place according to YOUR convenience. They are priced as written but can be customized according to your needs. A private consultation may be recommended to evaluate your dogs personality, temperament, your learning style and what will be needed to attain your desired results.
For premium results, it is recommended that the first few private lessons are scheduled and take place weekly, if possible, until desired effect is achieved. Then, any remaining private classes left can be used within 1 - 3 years (depending on the program).
Anything that is specified unlimited may take place any time for the life of the dog.
The program description is for example purposes. In the programs you are basically paying for the program as a package of hours. You are not held back to the list below of topics or behaviors. The more you lean and accomplish, with practice, the more I will teach you! The classes are designed by YOUR goals.
* Group Social classes in the following 3 programs are not the same as the basic, "Puppy Primer" group classes. They are designed in a "field trip" type manner as a source of controlled socializing. They are for the purpose of training and controlled exposure to new experiences and environments in a safe manner. Class size is limited to 4. There is a closed Facebook Group that is specifically for Canine Culture clients for notification of upcoming Group Social classes and events.
The first private class in a program is typically 2 hours long. After your first class, you can be scheduled with 2 hour classes. depending on what we plan to work on (based on your evaluation and specific needs) OR 1 hour classes.

This is a 5 month Bulldog puppy names Zeus. He is certainly already a Well-Mannered Dog. But if he isn't already well on his way to a Dream Dog, due to the consistency and determination of his owners, I don't know what is!
