The Serenity Stay Program

Our Serenity Stay Program (Tier 1) is our all inclusive, most intensive and extensive training option we offer within our company. This program is designed for top tier behavioral concerns such as high anxiety, reactivity, OCD, fearful and overly timid dogs needing extensive confidence building, deaf dogs, excessive barking and destruction, excessive nipping/overly bossy and pushy dogs.
 

In this program your dog will be assessed independently to create a careful and thoughtfully individualized training plan for your dog. Behavioral Modification is highly personalized based on the individual needs of each dog and deserves a more extensive training time period to efficiently and safely achieve long term results, not a quick cover up.
 

Training will begin in quieter and more safe environments, and eventually we will work into more stressful situations while we work to integrate them back into the community. Behavioral Modification is A LOT of work, please be prepared for a lot more up-front work that you may imagine, to make the lifetime changes you and your dog deserve! If you’re ready to take on a new world with your dog, get started NOW! The longer Behavioral concerns linger, the more difficult they are to eliminate and remediate.

Our Serenity Stay Program is made of two separate tiers, Tier 1 & Tier 2. Your Trainer will refer you to the best program to suit your needs. Trainer reserves the right to determine the best fit for the goals, safety and longevity of the success. We will NOT accept a Tier 2 dog into our Tier 1 Program, Jump Start Program or Ultimate 3-60. NO exceptions.

Because Behavioral Modification is a very serious matter, we do not believe in slow and temporary “fixes”. Our Serenity Stay Program is the longest, most extensive program we offer. In fact, these “tough” cases are what has made us stand out among our colleagues and community, often re-training previously trained dogs from other companies. Offering long term solutions, amazing follow up support and offering your dog the time, specialty training and steps needed (and deserved) for the absolute best chance of success, in the most safe and carefully thought out process we can offer to your family.
 

Please use caution opting for “cheaper” options, we do NOT like to fear-monger, however investing RIGHT in your dogs future with us, has proven to save other families thousands in the end!

Families experiencing Inner-Dog Aggression in home with two or more dogs MUST highly consider enrolling ALL dogs into training for the absolute best success possible.
