Intensive Dog Training Programs
Let us take the leash
Is your dog a sweetheart, but their high energy & unruly behavior is driving you crazy?
Maybe you tried following advice online or petstore group classes but only saw a little bit of progress?
Your dog is your best friend, but sometimes they stress you out a bit. They’re jumping up when you’d rather them not, or pull so hard your arm hurts when you go for walks.
What you really want feels like wishful thinking… your dog listening happily – and quickly, without having to spend so much time and effort experimenting with different ways of training!
If only someone could train your dog FOR you, and then show you exactly what to do… Well, that’s what we can do for you! Let us take the leash!
Our Intensive Training Programs are the best of both worlds. These programs combine daytime visits with us (where we train your dog for you to speed up their training progress), and in-person lessons, so you learn how to get the same great results with your dog!
Depending on the program you choose (based on your preferences), the biggest difference is the amount of training WE do with your dog for you. The more time we have with your dog, the more reliable they’ll be in public, and around distractions like other dogs and people.
You can also choose the program you prefer when it comes to the peace of mind of long-term support included.
Our ITPs give you the biggest training results in the shortest period of time – without having to send your dog off to “boot camp” or a “board and train” program.
It’s simple: we’ll train your dog during the day. You enjoy their company in the evening and on weekends. After all… isn’t that why you got a dog in the first place?
(These program are just for dogs over 6 months old. If you have a puppy, check out our puppy training solutions!)

Family Pet Fundamentals
Imagine taking your dog for a walk in the neighborhood without any leash pulling. When your friends come over to visit, your dog greets them with enthusiasm but without jumping up.
This program covers the skills your dog needs to be a great family companion. We’ll teach your dog to stop pulling on leash and come to you when you call them in from the yard. Rather than pestering you in the kitchen, your dog will learn to lie quietly on a mat while you prepare and eat your meals.
This program includes private lessons so that you learn how to get exactly the same results at home as we are getting at school. You won’t have to worry about your dog only listening to us! This program also includes group classes so that your dog practices listening to you in the presence of other dogs and other people. You’ll be totally prepared to maintain your dog’s manners even when they are around their favorite distractions!
Once the program is complete, we’ll provide a year of ongoing support to answer any questions that may arise as you enjoy your new partnership with your dog. We’ll be just an email or text away.

Total Training Program
Do you want a “go anywhere, do anything” kind of dog? Would you love to enjoy patio dining
with your dog at local restaurants and breweries, taking your dog shopping at pet-friendly
stores, or trips to the farmer’s market? We can help you achieve this and more!
If you love the idea of bringing your dog along as you run errands, visit family, or travel, this program is perfect for you. It includes daily training sessions outside of our training facility so that your dog learns to listen in new places, around different people, and around other dogs. We’ll perfect their behavior in places you’d like to bring them.
For your peace of mind, this program includes lifetime follow-up training if you need support in the future. You’ll be able to schedule a refresher class whenever you’d like!
This is our most popular Intensive Training Program.
What Our Clients Say
“We signed our 1 yr old mini Australian, Jesse up for the 5 week intensive training program and we couldn’t be happier with the results! …Jesse has learned all of the basics in a short amount of time but also is now conditioned to learn more as he grows. He is so well behaved in public, on walks, around other dogs and listens happily at home. We can’t say enough about how Crossbones has treated him like one of their own family members.”
--John and Jesse“With the help of group classes and private lessons, which were included in ITP, we realized we had unintentionally encouraged some unwanted behaviours as a result over socializing him during his socialization period. Crossbones efficiently worked through them with our puppy as well as educated us on the matter, teaching us how to correct said behaviours and habits while building a strong foundation (and maintaining it), and they did all of the above without judging us on our first-time-dog-owners mistakes. We not only received (and continue to receive) training support but also general wellbeing support for our puppy, which has been extremely helpful. …We’re enjoying seeing our puppy’s progress while watching him grow into a well-rounded dog. We’ve had a great experience at Crossbones, the classes are informative and fun, the team is fantastic, and we highly recommend it.”
