Free Consultation
This free consultation is the first visit you and NDT will have in most cases. This is the opportunity for you to bring your dog and meet the trainer. This visit gives the trainer the opportunity to analyze your dog, explain what dog training is, why we would want it and which program is best for you and your dog. It also gives you the opportunity to size up the trainer, to see if he or she is right for you. From here we generally decide on a program that is best for you and your pup. |

Board and Train (Obedience and Advanced Obedience) Package includes 4 weeks of boarding and training
The board and train program is ideal for the person that does not have the time to train as often as needed to build the powerful obedience base, but desires an obedient, well trained dog. Four weeks of intense training in Norton’s focus workshops will certainly transform your dog and open the lines of communication. This training course covers Come, Heel, Sit, Down, Stay, Place, and more. We give tons of socialization time, focused drills, confidence building, swim lessons or swim time, park behavior training, and more. This is very limited availability as we give these dogs a tremendous amount of attention. Talk to your trainer about the board/train program.

Stressed or Crashed dogs (includes 10 Private lessons with our training team)

They could have had a negative interaction with another dog and now they are nervous or aggressive. They may have been with a trainer that was heavy handed or not properly schooled with various dog behaviors. What you do know, is they are afraid of the world and you feel terrible about it.Call and speak to our trainers about your dog. In most cases, we can restore a great deal, or sometimes most all of the dog’s confidence and help him / her enjoy life once again. These lessons will cover the similar curriculum as the individual obedience lessons, with an emphasis on confidence building. Ask your NDT trainer for referrals on how this program has changed the life of other dogs.. |
