Dog Training in Tampa, FL
for Puppies + Adolescents

The Proactive Puppy Program

Individual training. Real-world experiences. Coaching + community

Puppy raising happens all day every day—not just during class.

The Proactive Puppy Program is a three-six week puppy training program in Tampa for puppies between 2 and 4 months old at the start. It combines individualized one-on-one time with your puppy, private coaching for you and opportunities to practice alongside other local dog families.

Each week includes:

• Three private 1:1 puppy sessions with just me and your pup
• One private coaching and transfer session with the family
• One optional weekend small-group outing
• customized skill building, field trips and real-world experiences
• Video updates, resources and private community support

No two days look exactly the same—and that is very much the point.

This program gives young puppies repeated, developmentally appropriate experiences while also helping you navigate biting, potty training, routines, sleep, independence and generally keep your sanity in tact.

Ideal for Tampa puppy parents who want proactive, hands-on support that goes well beyond a traditional weekly puppy class or coaching program.

Programs start at $1320.

In-Home Day Training in Tampa, FL

Individual training. Real-world practice. Coaching + community.

Adolescence is where all that adorable puppy potential starts developing opinions.

Delinquent Day School is a hands-on day training program for older puppies and adolescent dogs. I work directly with your dog multiple times each week, building practical skills at home and out in the real world, while regular private coaching helps you carry those skills into your life together.

Each week can include:

  • Up to three private 1:1 training sessions

  • One private coaching and transfer session

  • Access to optional community practice opportunities

  • Customized skill-building at home and out in the real world

  • Video updates, resources and ongoing support

What we work on depends on the dog in front of me: leash skills, neutrality around dogs and people, settling, recall, impulse control, household manners, appropriate outlets for teenage energy, and whatever particular flavor of nonsense adolescence has brought into your home.

Training isn't confined to your living room. We use your neighborhood, local parks, pet-friendly businesses and other real-life environments to practice the skills your dog actually needs.

Ideal for busy or overwhelmed guardians who want consistent, hands-on training support through adolescence without being responsible for doing every single repetition themselves.

Programs start at $1320.

Private Coaching

Raising a dog doesn’t come with a manual — but it should come with backup.

This private, in-home dog training program in Tampa, FL supports puppies and adolescent dogs from 8 weeks to 2 years old. Whether you're building strong foundations or navigating teenage chaos, you’ll have structure, clarity, and a professional in your corner.

Through weekly 60-minute private training sessions in your home, we focus on real-life skills that matter — not just obedience drills in controlled environments. Each program includes:

• 1–2 private in-home sessions per week
• Personalized training plans
• Socialization guidance for puppies
• Enrichment planning tailored to your dog
• Real-time troubleshooting as behavior evolves

Because development isn’t linear. And neither is training.

This isn’t a reset button. It’s ongoing, proactive support designed to help you work with your dog’s wiring — not against it — so you don’t have to start over every few months.

Ideal for guardians in Tampa who want hands-on guidance from early puppy days through adolescence — and who value thoughtful, humane training woven into everyday life.

Programs start at $480.
