The Signature Residency
A private, one-dog-at-a-time training immersion in my home.
The Signature Residency is a structured, 14-night minimum program designed to build reliable obedience and respectful household manners in a real home environment, not a kennel or high-volume facility.
I accept only one residency dog at a time. This allows for complete consistency, individualized attention, and immersive learning woven naturally throughout the day.
With over 14 years of professional experience and thousands of dogs trained, my focus is not just teaching commands it’s creating a calm, cooperative family companion who understands how to live well with people.
During the residency, your dog will build clarity and reliability in:
• Heel
• Sit & Down
• Stay
• Come
• Place
• Crate and threshold manners
• Polite greetings
• Appropriate play and social skills
Beyond obedience, we prioritize impulse control, household boundaries, environmental awareness, and respectful cohabitation. The goal is long-term harmony; not temporary compliance.
The Process
Check-In Session
We begin with a one-hour goal alignment meeting to ensure expectations and priorities are clear.
Daily Progress Updates
You receive consistent photo and video updates throughout your dog’s stay.
Mid-Residency Lesson
At the one-week mark, you join me to begin learning the structure and handling your dog has been practicing.
Go-Home Transition
At completion, I bring your dog home and guide you through a structured reintroduction to your environment.
Follow Up Lesson
Two weeks after coming home I come back for a check in visit to work out any miscommunications or kinks.
Who This Is For
• Families who want a calm, well-mannered companion
• Dogs who need foundation, structure, and clarity
• Owners committed to maintaining consistency at home
• Puppies and adolescent dogs building life skills
Who This Is Not For
• Severe aggression cases
• Intensive behavior modification
• Owners seeking fully hands-off results
My work centers on building sustainable, healthy dynamics between family dogs and the people who love them.
Limited Enrollment
The Signature Residency accepts only one training dog at a time by design.
This structure ensures depth, consistency, and meaningful progress. Because of this, availability is limited and start dates are often reserved in advance.
Families aligned with this approach are encouraged to apply early.

Alumni Refresher Program
Life happens. Schedules change, routines shift, kids go back to school, new babies arrive, vacations happen, and sometimes our dogs need a little reminder of the rules.
The Alumni Refresher Program is designed exclusively for graduates of The Dog House Academy who could benefit from a tune-up. Whether obedience has become inconsistent, excitement levels have increased, or household manners have started to slip, this one-week program helps get your dog back on track.
During their stay, your dog will return to a structured environment where we will reinforce the foundation they already know while addressing any areas that may need extra attention.
This program may be a great fit if your dog:
-
Has become selective with obedience commands
-
Has started pulling on walks again
-
Struggles with place, boundaries, or household manners
-
Has difficulty settling in the home
-
Needs accountability and consistency restored
-
Is adjusting to a major life change such as a move, new baby, schedule change, or another pet
Program Includes:
-
7 days of training in my home
-
One-on-one attention in a real family environment
-
Reinforcement of obedience and household manners
-
Real-world outings and distractions as appropriate
-
Daily updates and communication
-
Go-home lesson at pick-up
-
Personalized recommendations for continued success at home
Investment:
The Alumni Refresher Program is available exclusively to graduates of The Dog House Academy and is designed to provide targeted support for dogs who simply need a reset; not a complete restart.
Investment: $1,200*
A non-refundable deposit of $250 is required to reserve your dog's stay, with the remaining balance due at drop-off.
Because I accept only one dog at a time into my home, availability for refresher stays is extremely limited. This allows me to provide the same individualized attention, structure, and care that your dog received during their original residency.
Training is not a one-time event. Sometimes dogs, and their humans, simply benefit from a little reminder, renewed consistency, and the opportunity to get back on track together. I'm here if you need me!
Extended stays, if needed, are discussed collaboratively based on goals and progress.
