the foundation program

The program every dog needs to get started. We cover in-home and real world manners, loose leash walking, and the core obedience commands of Heel, Sit, Down, and Come. This is considered our "on-leash" program. We feel it is important that both the human and the dog gain the necessary fundamentals and skills of obedience with the proper leash handling, timing, the use of reward "markers," and reward delivery. For the average dog, this program is 6 weeks long. Reactive and aggressive dogs may require additional weeks of training. In this case, your program will be customized to fit the needs of your dog.

FORCEFREE OFF-LEASH FREEDOM PROGRAM

The ForceFree Method™ is an intuitive system of training that makes sense to both people and dogs. Effective and gentle, the training method works WITH the dogs instincts rather than against them. We achieve off leash reliability, even with distractions, amazingly fast. Most  dogs perceive the training as simple "pack cooperation" and play. Therefore, they quickly shed rebellious behavior, and give you more focus than you imagined possible. Doesn't that sound like more fun than correction after correction?

This program is 6 weeks long and requires prior completion of the Foundation Program.
This program may be combined with the Foundation Program to create a complete 12-week start-to-finish training program for you and your dog.
Includes a top-of-the-line remote training collar.

CUSTOMIZED DAY TRAINING

Foundry Dogworks is not currently accepting any board-and-train cases. However, depending on schedule and availability, we can customize a program that allows our trainer do some of the "heavy-lifting" for you. Day Training may be used as a jumpstart or accelerator during your training program. When your dog spends an hour, a half day, or a full day with our trainer, great strides can be made in leash manners, real world obedience, solving reactivity or aggression, socialization, and game play.
