Dog Training Services

Whether you are building your puppy's foundation or have a dog working through reactivity, training starts with understanding what your dog actually needs.

Every 3 of Hounds training program is built around foundational skills like leash manners, recall, obedience, exposure and socialization, alongside any specific behaviors you want to work through. The plan is tailored to your dog and your lifestyle, so it works in the real world, not just in a training facility.

How do we get started?

We kick off with a $25 phone consult to hear what's going on and build a training plan. If your dog has shown aggression, a $225 in-person assessment is required prior to booking your first session.

What does a training program cover?

Every program is built around your dog's specific needs, whether that's foundational skills or working through reactivity or other behavioral challenges. Each plan is designed around your dog and your lifestyle, to ensure long term success.

What do I get with my package?

All packages include ongoing support through the client portal, a PDF workbook, and discounts on additional sessions, group classes, and workshops. Packages range from 4 to 8 sessions, depending on your dogs needs.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions are one hour and take place in your home, where your dog's behaviors actually happen. Training stays in your environment until consistency is established, then we start to explore different environments.

What happens after my program is complete?

Monthly touch-up sessions are available to reinforce progress and work through anything new that comes up. You'll also get free access to Pack Sabbath, a monthly community walk for 3 of Hounds alumni designed to continue neutrality work, connect with like-minded dog owners, and keep building in real-world environments.
