6 private training sessions $795
Program focus
Foundations provides a structured starting point for building practical skills, engagement, regulation, and clearer communication between you and your dog.
Training is individualized to the dog and handler. We’ll identify the skills and patterns most relevant to your goals, build them progressively, and adjust the training as your dog develops.
Foundations may be a good fit for:
Puppies and adolescent dogs building early life skills
Dogs who need support with engagement, settling, or regulation
Leash skills, recall, and other everyday training goals
Confidence building and thoughtful socialization
Early or less complex behavior concerns
Handlers who want a broader training plan rather than support with one isolated skill
What’s included
6 private training sessions
Training at Mellow Hound's private training field
Sessions in selected public environments when appropriate
Individualized training and handler coaching
Written guidance and training resources as needed
Flexible pacing based on your dog's progress and training goals
Session structure
Sessions are scheduled in one-hour blocks, but training is paced around the individual dog and the work we're doing.
For some dogs or exercises, shorter periods of active training are more productive than working continuously for an hour. When appropriate, we'll use shorter sessions and carry the remaining time forward within the program.
This allows us to prioritize productive training rather than keeping a dog working simply to fill the scheduled hour.
