Our Services

Private Dog Training

We recognize that life is full of unexpected changes. When plans shift or routines are disrupted, your dog’s behavior should not contribute to your stress. Our private dog training offers personalized programs designed to equip both you and your dog with the skills to adapt confidently to any circumstance. We emphasize developing clear communication, impulse control, and flexible problem-solving strategies tailored to your individual lifestyle. This ensures your dog remains calm, attentive, and well-behaved, even when life throws curveballs.

Our approach goes beyond basic obedience, fostering resilience and harmony that make transitions in daily life smoother for everyone involved. We provide lasting training solutions grounded in research, extensive volunteer experience with local shelters, certification from NWSCS, and comprehensive hands-on work with diverse training methods.

By applying an evidence-based approach rooted in applied behavior analysis, we create customized plans that address your dog’s unique needs—whether you’re raising a new puppy or helping a rescue adjust. At TM Dog Training, we teach you and your dog to think differently, combining effective techniques with engaging, enjoyable training that produces meaningful, lasting results.

Rehabilitation

We offer a fresh and enjoyable approach to teaching the fundamentals while also providing rehabilitation for dogs with challenging backgrounds and serious behavioral issues.

We have never encountered a dog we could not help, but it is very much reliant upon you, their humans to be committed to the work.

Our unique strategy diagnoses the source of the behavior so we can manage it- rather than simply mitigating or muting responses. Through our process, we can help your dog think differently, allowing them to process information in a way that doesn’t just change their outward response, it changes their processing of information and stimuli.

Protection & Specialties

We specialize in dog sports and personal protection training, including agility, obedience and tracking, to create disciplined, well-rounded dogs. Our protection training ensures dogs can safely identify threats while staying social.

We also offer customized training for medical and emotional support dogs to assist with tasks like migraine alerts, mobility aid, and anxiety relief. Our programs emphasize reliability, consistency, and a strong handler-dog bond.

The limits of our capacity know no bounds, so please inquire for information about your specific needs and desires.

Pricing

  • $100 for a one-hour evaluation to meet you and your dog and create a customized training plan. Training is not included, but we provide useful tips to help you get started before your first session.

  • $200 per hour for training at our facility

  • $250 per hour for training at alternative locations, such as your home, parks, your vet, etc.

Basic Packages

  • Foundations Package - 3 sessions, 1.5 hours each. Training exclusively at our facility costs $600. Training conducted at the client's home, alternative locations, or multiple locations is priced at $750. This package focuses on teaching you and your dog how to recognize, generalize, and compartmentalize positive and negative behaviors effectively.

  • Adoption package - $600 for 3 sessions, up to 2 hours each. The first session is designed to familiarize your dog with the home environment and family members. During the second session, our emphasis shifts to helping your dog adjust through clear and effective communication. The third session focuses on setting up a consistent structure. Throughout all sessions, we support both you and your dog in starting a positive path that aims to avoid future obedience and behavioral challenges.

  • Puppy package, up to 6 months of age - $500 for 4 sessions, 1 hour each (recommended one per week.) Training encompasses a variety of skills such as loose leash walking, socialization, biting & nipping prevention, manners & etiquette, and structured play. For play and socialization, we use our fully vaccinated dogs to safely interact with puppies who haven’t yet received their rabies vaccinations.

Enhanced Training

  • Advanced Training Package – $900 for 4 sessions, 1.5 hours each. Building upon the Foundations Package, this program enhances your dog’s skills and improves behavior consistency. Training takes place both at our facility and in various real-world environments that may provoke challenging behaviors, such as parks and veterinary clinics. The focus areas include reinforcing foundational behaviors amid increased distractions, advanced impulse control and self-regulation, off-leash reliability and recall improvement, as well as problem-solving and coping strategies for triggers encountered outside the dog’s home. Additionally, there is a greater emphasis on communication techniques between owner and dog, along with generalizing behaviors across multiple environments, including the client’s everyday spaces. This package ensures your dog’s training advances beyond the basics and equips you with the tools to maintain and continuously expand good behavior in diverse situations.

  • Specialty Training Package - $900 for five sessions, 1.5 hours each. Training is tailored to your goals, with options in sport, agility, scent detection, or personal assistance animal training (physical or mental support needs.) Customized for both owner and dog, these sessions focus on coordination, focus, and strengthening the handler-dog bond. Ideal for competitive, recreational, or assistance training, each session is conducted in a controlled environment with all necessary equipment provided.

  • Personal Assistance Protection training - price and number of sessions TBD. An evaluation is required to assess the abilities of both the dog and owner. Training packages are then customized according to their capabilities and desired intensity. If we find that the dog's temperament or the owner's expectations do not align with the requirements of protection training, we will respectfully decline to proceed, without charging a fee for the evaluation.

We offer senior and military discounts.

We issue PayPal Business invoices which accept credit cards, Apple Pay, and PayPal. We also accept Venmo and cash.

Our pricing is transparent, flat-rate, and free of hidden fees. We do not increase rates for families with multiple dogs; instead, we may recommend longer sessions to ensure each dog receives adequate attention. Involving all dogs in the training process is essential, even if one is considered the "problem child," as this comprehensive approach benefits the individual dog and equips the entire pack with the skills to thrive together.
