Why Summit Canine Academy Can Fix Your Problem
I Come To You
I come to your home and work with your dog in their real environment. No strange facilities. No group classes.
Written Guarantee
Complete the homework and attend every session. If your dog does not show measurable improvement I give you two additional sessions free.
Owner Included
You are present for every session. I teach you alongside your dog so the results last long after the program ends.
Atlas and Finn
A German Shepherd and Border Collie who train daily and work as decoys and socialization partners for any client dogs that need it.
Training Programs
Obedience Training
A complete obedience program built around the foundation skills that matter most for the next 10 to 15 years with your dog.
Sit, down, place, recall, leash manners, impulse control, and the ability to listen anywhere not just at home.
Every session happens at your home. You are present for every single session learning alongside your dog so you know exactly how to maintain everything after we are done. Written homework protocol delivered after every session. Text support throughout the program.
By the end of your program your dog responds to commands the first time, walks calmly on leash, stays where you put them when guests come over, and chooses the right behavior on their own without needing constant correction.
Investment based on your dog's age, your specific goals, and the complexity of training needed. Final pricing determined during your free discovery call.
Behavior Rehabilitation
If your dog lunges at other dogs, snaps at strangers, guards food or toys, fights with the other dog in your home, or shows aggression you do not know how to handle, this is the program built specifically for you.
Behavior rehabilitation is fundamentally different from obedience training. It is not about teaching new commands. It is about changing the emotional response your dog has to the things that trigger them and giving you the tools to manage and modify that response for the rest of their life.
By the end of your program your dog has measurably reduced reactivity, you have a written protocol you can hand to anyone who watches your dog, and you have the confidence to live with your dog safely instead of constantly managing the next incident.
Day Training Drop-Off
You drop your dog off in the morning. I work with them for 6 hours alongside Atlas and Finn in my home. You pick up a tired, better-behaved dog in the evening.
This is not daycare. Daycare watches your dog. Day Training trains your dog.
Every drop-off includes structured obedience reps, real socialization with my two trained demo dogs, leash work, place command, impulse control, and exposure to the kinds of distractions a normal daycare can't safely offer. Your dog leaves my home with reps stacked the way a professional trainer would stack them, not the way a daycare worker has time for.
Atlas and Finn aren't decoration. They are the reason this works. A German Shepherd and a Border Collie who train every day are the most valuable training partners your dog can have. They model calm behavior. They teach neutrality. They make socialization controlled instead of chaotic.
At the end of every Day Training day, you get a written summary of what we worked on and one specific drill to practice at home that night. The training doesn't end when you pick up your dog.
Three tiers:
Half Day — $125 4 hours. Best for puppies under 6 months or dogs who need a softer introduction.
Full Day — $175 6 hours. The default. Best for adolescent dogs, puppies 6 months and up, and adult dogs needing manners and reinforcement.
Full Day Premium — $225 6 hours of structured training plus a written training plan, video updates throughout the day, and a 30-minute owner debrief at pickup. Best for owners who want session-quality training in a drop-off format.
Available: 7 days a week, 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM pickup. Limited to 4 dogs per day.
Requirements: Current vaccinations (DHPP, Rabies, Bordetella), no active aggression toward other dogs (Day Training is not the program for that — book a Behavior Rehabilitation assessment instead), and a willingness to follow the homework I send you home with each day.
For reactive, aggressive, fearful, and resource guarding cases. The dogs other trainers turn away.
FOR OWNERS WHO WANT REAL TRAINING WITHOUT GIVING UP THEIR DOG FOR WEEKS
