Intensive Dog Training Programs
for dogs over 6 months old
Let us help you enjoy your dog. You don't need to send your dog away to "boot camp" to get professional results. Drop your dog off during the work day Monday through Friday. We'll train them during the day and you continue to enjoy their company in the evening and on weekends.
In these Intensive Training Programs, your dog will be trained during the week by a member of our training staff, and then you will receive coaching to maintain that training. Each program includes group classes and private instruction.
Ready to get started? Our Intensive Training Programs start with a 45-minute Meet & Greet. We want to make sure we're the right trainer for you, and that you're the right client for us.
Not sure which program is right for you? Contact us and tell us about the problems you're experiencing with your dog. We'll tell you how we can help. (Custom programs are available, too!)
**We have ONE opening for an Intensive Training Programs in mid-NOVEMBER 2019.**
Household Hound Program
Is your dog's lack of manners getting in the way of your day-to-day activities?
Is your dog a nuisance when guests come to your home?
This program will teach your dog basic manners around your home, such as: sit, down, greeting guests without jumping, self-control around food and toys, and stay on a mat.
This program will teach your dog to "sit" and "down" when asked, greet people while keeping all four paws on the floor, and show restraint around food on countertops and coffee tables. Rather than "helping" you in the kitchen, your dog will lie quietly on a mat while you prepare & eat your meals.
This program includes:
-3 weeks, Monday-Friday, of full-day training for your dog at our facility
That's over an hour of one-on-one training each day.
-3 one hour private coaching lessons at your home
We will travel anywhere in RI for ITP follow-up appointments.
-Training equipment package so you have the materials you need for success
We will provide a harness or head collar and leash, treat pouch, and clicker.

Testimonials
"I have been to many dog trainers across the state and I must say Katherine and Dan are absolutely something special. We have seen huge improvements in our reactive dog who no other trainer could help and also got our new puppy off to a fantastic start! I wish I had found them years ago!
They use positive training techniques that really get results. They are very professional, friendly and great at communication; always answering my zillions of questions promptly by email or phone. Great dog skills AND great people skills. They have made our lives better by helping our dogs live better. If you're looking for a great trainer, look no further."
--Katie R. & Willow
"Spring Forth are TRUE PROFESSIONALS that care greatly about your dog and your family and are extremely communicative and helpful. With their guidance and help our now 4-month-old puppy is nearly completely housebroken, crate trained, and advancing leaps and bounds in socialization and training, in a mere 2 weeks! I can't recommend Spring Forth enough for anyone seeking caring and professional services for their dog! Thank you Spring Forth!!"
