Happy New Year & What’s Ahead for 2026

Published on 1 January 2026 at 17:05

As we step into 2026, we want to begin by saying thank you. Being part of this community means more than showing up for training sessions — it means trust, consistency, and a shared commitment to helping dogs thrive in the real world. We’re deeply grateful to each of you for that.

With the new year comes a few important updates we’d like to share, including pricing changes and refinements to our training programs designed to better support teams long term.


Pricing Update for 2026

Beginning in 2026, updated pricing will apply to new clients.

As a thank-you to our current clients, you will be grandfathered into your 2025 pricing through January 31st. Nothing changes for you during this time. If you have questions about how this applies to your plan or services, we’re always happy to walk through it with you.

Service 2025 Pricing - 2025 Clients are Grandfathered until 1/31/26 2026 Pricing - New Clients and 2/1/26 All Client
1 Private Lesson $115 $135
4 Private Lessons $380 $450
8 Private Lessons $640 $800

As we move into 2026, our community-focused offerings will remain at 2025 pricing. Pack walks, public access pack walks, game nights, and group classes will stay the same price because creating accessible, supportive spaces for learning, training, and connection matters to us.


Program Updates for 2026

We’re refining our programs to bring more clarity, structure, and flexibility to how we support dogs and their people — while staying rooted in what actually works outside of a training session.

HomeBase Training: Updated Structure

HomeBase is now offered as a structured 8-week program, designed to create consistency, real-life application, and measurable progress. The focus is on building skills where they matter most: in your home and everyday environments.

HomeBase is available in three formats to match different needs and goals:

Program Support Level Total Investment Montly Billing
HomeBase – Standard Steady, sustainable progress with consistent support $1,050 total $525 / month
HomeBase – Accelerated Increased frequency for faster momentum $1,790 total $895 / month
HomeBase – Intensive High-touch support for dogs or teams needing deeper intervention or a jump-start $2,390 total $1,195 / month

This structure allows us to clearly define expectations, support progress intentionally, and tailor the level of involvement to what each team truly needs

HomeBase programs are billed monthly over two months, aligning with the 8-week program structure.

This structured format allows for consistency, accountability, and measurable progress without open-ended training.


The Conditioning Lab

The Conditioning Lab is an ongoing program designed to support:

  • Skill maintenance

  • Tolerance and neutrality building

  • Engagement and focus under distraction

This program is ideal for dogs who already have foundational skills and need continued exposure, confidence-building, or refinement in controlled, intentional environments.

Frequency Sessions Monthly Investment Best For
Conditioning Lab – 1x Weekly 4 sessions/month $280 / month Skill maintenance, light exposure, engagement
Conditioning Lab – 2x Weekly 8 sessions/month $520 / month Increased tolerance, consistency, and momentum

When appropriate — and if your dog is comfortable — Conditioning Lab sessions may also include treadmill work through our partnership with Kyle at DOGGDASH. These sessions support controlled physical output, engagement, confidence, and structured movement, and are always introduced thoughtfully based on the individual dog.


Looking Ahead

If you’re unsure which program best fits your dog or are curious about transitioning into one of these options, we’re always happy to talk it through and help you decide.

We’re grateful for the year behind us and genuinely excited for what’s ahead. Thank you for trusting us, supporting our growth, and being part of this community.

Warmly,
Blake
