Start here — a free intro call with a trainer. Tell us about your dog and what you're hoping to change. We'll talk through your goals, answer your questions, and match you with the right trainer and program — whether that's puppy training, foundations, behavior work, or board & train. No cost, no pressure, no commitment. Just a real conversation about your dog.
Every training journey starts here. Your trainer comes to your home, meets your dog in person, and gets the full picture — what you've told us, plus what we see with our own eyes. We'll confirm you're in the right program for your dog's needs, whether that's Furst Steps, Furry Fundamentals, Feral to Focus, or board & train — and build the plan together. No commitment beyond the Consultation. You decide if we're the right fit. Not sure where to start? Book a free intro call first and we'll point you in the right direction.
One private, one-hour training session in your home and neighborhood — where the behavior actually happens. Your trainer works with you and your dog on your goals: engagement, leash skills, manners, or whatever real life is throwing at you. Personalized to your dog, no one-size-fits-all plans.

Furry Fundamentals — our foundations training package for dogs 6 months and up. Four private, one-hour training sessions in your home and neighborhood, where life actually happens. You'll work with the same trainer (Mitch or Jade) start to finish, with a plan personalized to your dog and your lifestyle. What's included: - 4 private in-home sessions, weekly or every other week — whatever fits your life - Engagement, leash skills, and everyday manners - Step-by-step coaching between sessions — your trainer is on retainer, so real questions get real answers - Beginner-friendly, relationship-based approach Perfect for adolescents, newly adopted dogs, first-time dog owners, and dogs that know "sit" at home but fall apart out in the real world. The goal: a dog that understands what's expected — and an owner who understands why. Clear communication, real-life skills, and the confidence to keep making progress on your own. New to Wholistic Canine? Start with a free intro call and an in-home evaluation so we can match you with the right trainer and program. Dogs with complex behavior concerns may need to start with Feral to Focus first.
Feral to Focus — our behavior package for dogs who need more than manners. Four private, in-home behavior sessions for dogs working through reactivity, fear, anxiety, or other bigger behavior struggles. This is our whole-dog approach: we look at what your dog was bred to do, how they experience the world, and what's actually driving the behavior — then build a plan around your dog and your life. What's included: - 4 private in-home sessions, typically every other week — behavior change takes time between sessions, and we pace it right - Your trainer on retainer the whole way through — text, call, or send videos between sessions and get real answers - A personalized plan built around your dog's genetics, environment, and history - Real-life work in your home and neighborhood, where the behavior actually happens Feral to Focus is a great fit if your dog barks and lunges on leash, struggles with fear or anxiety, can't settle around guests or other dogs, or if you've been told your dog is "too much." New to Wholistic Canine? Start with a free intro call, then an in-home Consultation so we can meet your dog and build the right plan together.
Group Training Options Our group training classes are led by Jade and Terra, combining structured learning with real-life application and support. We offer two flexible options depending on your goals: Drop-In Classes Perfect for ongoing support, quick tune-ups, or getting help between sessions. These classes are designed to cover focused topics while giving you time to ask questions and get guidance. • $35 per class • $100 for a pack of 4 Weekly Group Series A more traditional, structured program where you attend the same day and time each week. This option allows for consistent progress, skill building, and accountability over time. • $175 for 4 consecutive sessions Whether you’re looking for flexibility or a more guided path, our group options are designed to support you and your dog every step of the way.
For our training alumni — a one-hour private session to keep the momentum going after your package. A tune-up, a new challenge, or the next skill on your list. Your trainer already knows your dog, so we pick up right where we left off.
Overnight Adventure Training Your dog spends the night with a trainer—not just staying, but actively learning how to live in a real home environment. This is ideal for dogs who need: • Better house manners and boundaries • Calm behavior around other dogs • Practice settling in a home setting • Support applying training outside of sessions Your dog may experience: • Structured time with the trainer’s pack • Real-life household routines and boundaries • Supervised social time and appropriate disengagement • Evening and morning structure (settling, transitions, calm starts) This is not boarding. This is continued training in a real-life environment.
Trainer-Led Outing (Owner-Free Session) We pick up your dog and take them into real-world environments to work on behavior skills where they actually matter. This is a focused training session designed to build: • Leash manners • Calm behavior in public • Confidence in new environments • Better decision-making without owner dependence Each outing is customized based on your dog’s needs and may include parks, stores, and other everyday settings. Up to 4-hour immersive training outing — $80
Manners class, but make it a brewery. We rotate breweries around town and practice calm, polite behavior in one of the most distracting real-life environments there is — people, smells, chairs scraping, snacks dropping. We take requests for different days, times, and locations, so check the schedule for the next spot — and tell us where you'd like to see us next.
Furst Steps — our puppy training package for pups under 6 months. Six private, in-home lessons during the weeks that shape everything.

What's included: - 6 private in-home lessons with a personalized plan for your puppy and your household - Potty training that finally clicks - Biting and nipping under control - Socialization done right, during the critical window - Jumping, pulling, and the everyday basics - Step-by-step guidance between lessons, so you're never stuck waiting for the next visit Perfect for new puppy owners who want to start the relationship off right — and skip the bad habits before they ever take hold.

Free Community Pack Walk Join Wholistic Canine for our FREE monthly community pack walk! Open to clients, non-clients, foster dogs, and the whole dog-loving community. Pack walks are a great opportunity to practice real-life skills, build confidence, work around distractions, and enjoy a structured outing alongside other dogs and their humans. Leash Requirements: • All dogs must remain on leash for the entire walk. This is not an off-leash activity, even for dogs who have attended our off-leash groups. • A 15-foot long line is recommended so dogs have a little more space to move and explore. We recommend practicing with your long line before attending. • A standard 6-foot leash is absolutely welcome. If using one, please bring an additional longer leash in case you'd like to give your dog more room during portions of the walk. • Please no retractable leashes. Dogs do not need to interact with one another. Giving dogs space, practicing neutrality, and simply enjoying the walk together is part of the experience. Cost: FREE People. Paws. Progress.
🍷 SANGRIA SUNDAYS 🐾 Because apparently we needed another reason to hang out. Come have a drink, bring your dog if you want, and hang out with your Wholistic Canine people. No lesson. No agenda. No pretending this is educational. 😂 FREE • CLIENTS & FRIENDS • DOGS OPTIONAL We’re just a bunch of dog people who have decided drinking sangria together on Sundays should count as a group activity. Disclaimer: Obviously anyone can go to the bar. 😂 “Sangria Sundays” is just our excuse to turn it into a Wholistic Canine meetup.
