Brilliant Borderhauss Dog Training
Where training dogs is a lifestyle, not just a class.
Private Consultations
We offer private consultation packages in 4, 6, or 8 lesson increments. Each dog person team requires a different amount of time and direction depending on the needs. Choose a package that fits you.
Here are a few examples of the topics we can address in your private consultations:
-
Puppy Skills
-
Get your puppy off to a great start with body awareness, impulse control, crate games and social skills. We feel puppies need to build confidence in themselves and their family before adding other dogs and people to their training. Therefore we suggest a private lesson package first.
-
For puppy 8 weeks to 3 months
-
-
Foundations
-
Help your dog to find his best manners in your home, out in public, and prepare for sport training. Teach basic obedience, retrieve, recalls, consent behaviors, leash walking, impulse control and distraction work.
-
Take your foundation skills out to the real world. Continue to build the layers of learning outside of the training environment. Let's help our dog's generalize their skills to be a brilliant family pet.

Agility
-
Put your best paw forward with our agility lessons from excellent foundations through competition. If you are a complete novice, playing just for fun or retraining for competition, you've come to the right place for GREAT agility! It doesn't matter what your goals in agility are, we all need a great plan to begin.
-
For dogs 6 months and older

Group Classes
We offer group classes for students that have completed the Foundations Course. It is not a requirement but highly suggested. Once you have an understanding of the basics of dog behavior, shaping and reinforcement, we can then add the distractions of other dogs and people. This makes socializing our dogs much safer and easier. Our dogs will feel more confidence in themselves and more trust in you building an excellent relationship for your future.
Here are a the options for group classes:
