Beyond Basics is your path to a calmer, more capable companion. From leash manners to impulse control, we’ll turn everyday challenges into reliable skills for walks, guests, and life on the go.
Beyond Basics is for dogs over 12 months old—whether you’ve just welcomed them home or you’re ready to level up their skills. We’ll focus on everyday manners, polishing the basics, and reinforcing calm behavior in real-world situations.
If your dog pulls on leash, greets guests like a cannonball, or “forgets” their training outside the house, we’ll get you both on the same page. We’ll also work on impulse control, confidence-building, and problem-solving for habits you’d like to change—like jumping, barking, or selective hearing.
Whether you’re fine-tuning their foundation or tackling new challenges, Beyond Basics gives you practical tools, a clear training plan, and the know-how to enjoy a calmer, more connected life with your dog.
