TRAINING PROGRAMS

A clearer path to a more reliable dog.

Every dog is different. These programs give us a framework, but your dog’s temperament, history, behavior, and goals determine how we approach the work.

Start With The Intake
01

FOUNDATION

Silver

2 Week Basic Obedience

Silver is the foundation program for owners who want clearer communication and a dog that is easier to live with day to day. The work centers on dependable basics, household structure, leash manners, and teaching your dog how to settle and respond to direction.

What your dog works on

  • Heel and improved leash manners
  • Come / recall foundations
  • Sit and Down with beginning duration
  • Introduction to Place
  • Calmer household manners and boundaries
  • Listening around normal everyday distractions

Who Silver is usually best for

Dogs that need a stronger basic obedience foundation, young dogs moving beyond puppy manners, or families who want more structure and consistency without needing the advanced proofing of the longer programs.

What the stay feels like

Your dog follows a structured daily routine with outdoor training and play across the property, appropriate rest and decompression, and comfortable overnight sleep in the fully air-conditioned dog house.

Good to know: Every dog progresses differently. STP uses the intake and conversation with you to confirm whether two weeks is the right amount of time for your goals.

ADVANCED

Gold

4 Week Advanced On-Leash

Gold is for owners who want the basics to become dependable behavior in the real world. Four weeks gives STP more time to build consistency, strengthen confidence, add duration and distance, and proof skills around the distractions that usually make obedience fall apart.

What your dog works on

  • More advanced on-leash obedience
  • Stronger Heel, Come, Sit and Down reliability
  • Place and crate work with greater duration
  • Parks, neighborhoods and everyday public environments
  • Confidence-building around new sights, sounds and surfaces
  • Impulse control and calmer decision-making
  • Real-world distraction proofing

Who Gold is usually best for

Dogs that know some commands but struggle to perform them consistently, dogs that become distracted or overwhelmed outside the home, and owners who want a much more reliable on-leash companion.

Why the extra time matters

Reliability is built through repetition in different situations. Gold allows STP to move beyond simply teaching a command and spend more time helping the dog understand that the same expectations apply in new environments and around distractions.

Owner transition matters: The goal is not for your dog to only listen to the trainer. STP also focuses on helping you understand the structure and communication needed to maintain the work after training.

ELITE

Platinum

5–6 Week Advanced Off-Leash

Platinum is STP’s most advanced training path for owners looking for a higher level of reliability and freedom. The longer stay allows the team to build on advanced obedience, strengthen recall, introduce and proof off-leash expectations, and work through increasingly challenging real-world environments.

What your dog works on

  • Advanced on- and off-leash obedience
  • Longer-distance recall and responsiveness
  • High-distraction proofing
  • Public environments and real-world outings
  • Advanced Place and crate expectations
  • Impulse control around movement and distractions
  • Confidence and handler engagement

Who Platinum is usually best for

Owners whose biggest goal is dependable recall and greater off-leash freedom, or dogs that need more time and repetition before advanced skills become reliable around distractions.

What “off-leash reliability” means here

The goal is thoughtful, responsive behavior and a dog that understands expectations even when physical leash guidance is reduced. No training can remove every real-world risk, so responsible owner judgment and local leash laws still matter after graduation.

Customized to the dog: Five to six weeks is the program framework. STP will discuss temperament, history, current behavior and your goals before confirming the right plan.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

Home-based. Over an acre. Fully A/C overnight.

Most of the day is spent outside training, playing, moving, and learning across the property. At night, dogs settle into a fully air-conditioned dog house where they can rest comfortably after a full day of work and enrichment.
