TRAINING PROGRAMS
Here at Wolfman’s Canines, our lead CANINE BEHAVIORIST will recommend the TRAINING PROGRAM that is best for you and your dog, based upon an in-person EVALUATION!
ALL TRAINING PROGRAM RECOMMNEDATIONS ARE BASED ON YOUR SPECIFIC LIFESTYLE & BUDGET!
BOARD & TRAIN
(PUPPY/BASIC/INTERMEDIATE)
-
This is by far our most popular program! For puppies, it is our chance to capture that malleable mind and teach them everything they need to know. This program is also for dogs in need of a solid training foundation or change in atmosphere to correct unwanted behaviors. All training sessions are done daily by our lead canine behaviorist. The boarding portion of this training program will take place at the Wolfman’s farm in Galena Ohio!
Owner education, resources and at-home exercises are all provided via weekly report cards. Text, photo & video updates are also made readily available. This trainer led, social forward board and train will give any puppy or dog the basic skills they need to be the best companion dog for you!
-
All of our training programs are individualized and designed to best fit the needs of the dog & owner. This is decided at an in-person evaluation and typically includes an integration of 1-1 sessions and a board and train

INTENSIVE BOARD & TRAIN
(REACTIVE/AGGRESSIVE/ADVANCED)
-
This is an intensive program for dogs with a bite history and/or reactivity towards other dogs or humans. This gives your dog the chance to unlearn old behaviors that have been maladaptive for both you and them. We create a super-structured, social forward, safe and fun environment for your dog to learn new behaviors and a more solid sense of self. All training sessions are done daily by our lead canine behaviorist. The boarding portion of this training program will take place at the Wolfman’s farm in Galena Ohio!
Owner education, resources and at-home exercises are all provided via weekly report cards. Text, photo & video updates are also made readily available. With this intensive training program, it is expected that clients will continue building their dog’s new behavioral pathways after they return home. Detailed resources on methods & techniques will be provided to encourage ongoing client education. Multiple refresher courses are also included at the completion of the BOARD & TRAIN (depending on length of program).

All boarding will take place at the Wolfman’s dog farm in Galena.

ON-SITE EVALUATION
-
During this in person, 30-minute evaluation, our lead canine behaviorist will get to know you and the training needs of your dog. This will often include learning about your dog’s exercise outlet, social skills, previous training experience & overall behavior. Training packages will be recommended at the completion of an evaluation. You can expect an onboarding email with NEXT STEPS on how to become a BUCKEYE WOLFPACK member at the end of the evaluation! All training evaluations will take place at the Wolfman’s farm in Galena Ohio!

PUPPY & INTRO GROUP CLASSES ARE NOW AVAILABLE!!

**Reactive or dangerous dogs will be excluded from this class- please see “Reactive Dog Group Class” (when available)**
INTRO GROUP CLASS:
This group class offers an extensive curriculum with easy, fun training techniques you can apply at home. This introductory class will provide you and your pup the best relationship based foundation to build on! The focus will be on obedience for dogs who are under-socialized and in need of an overhaul on all the basics.
At Wolfman’s Canines, we choose the best methods for each dog in order to achieve a basic understanding of the principles of desired dog behaviors. Our lead canine behaviorist, Walter, will apply these basic principles of dog behavior and psychology through relationship centered, science backed methods to each group class you attend. The end result is that your dog is attentive to you, no matter the environment, and has the ability to navigate most all situations with ease and confidence. Your dog will be consistently trained and tested under real-life dog-to-dog and dog-to-people scenarios so that he or she knows how to behave and can be controlled in any stimulating environment, even with a wide variety of distractions. Only fear, force free techniques will be demonstrated during this group class.
PUPPY GROUP CLASS:
With the guidance of our lead canine behaviorist, Walter Mott, this puppy group class offers an extensive curriculum and will provide you and your pup the best foundation to build on. This will include but not limited to:
Housetraining (Potty Training, Chew Toy Training, Crate Training) - so your puppy learns how to behave at home when left unsupervised and settle down quietly when you want them to.
Confidence Training (Socialization, Desensitization, Handling, Resolving Phobias) - so your puppy learns to enjoy being held and handled and does not become fearful, reactive, or aggressive towards any people, animals, or other stimuli.
Lure Reward Training (Sit, Down, Stand, Come, Follow, Go To Your Bed, Settle Down, Off, Take It, Thank You, Fetch, Tug) - so your pup learns to perform useful behaviors on cue, reliably, and promptly so you can have fun together and redirect your pup away from unwanted behaviors.
All of our training is reward-based and designed to build and strengthen a relationship between you and your puppy that is based on trust and communication. Only fear, force free techniques will be demonstrated during this group class.
