About the Program:
Summit Off-Leash School is a 4-month online dog training program for owners.
You graduate with two things: a fully off-leash reliable dog, and the skills to take them on every adventure!
This program is built differently. You're the one doing the training, guided step-by-step, so what your dog learns actually holds up with you in your home, on the sidewalk, and out on the trail. I will train you to be the trainer!
Program Structure
You enroll as a student and work through a structured, week-by-week curriculum at your own pace over 4 months. Your dog is your project, you apply everything you learn directly to them, in your own home, on your own walks.
Each week gives you a clear path: what to work on, why it matters, and exactly what "done" looks like. You complete the training during your usual walks and during time you're already spending with your dog, so this won’t add extra hours, it's the same time spent differently.
Whenever you hit a wall, you submit your footage and get direct, personalized feedback from your coach (me!). I’ll break down what's happening, what to adjust, and your next steps. No guessing on your end and no generic advice that doesn't fit your dog.
And week by week, you and your dog build from the ground up. From pulling on leash and ignoring you when there’s distractions, to clear communication and trusting each other off-leash anywhere: trails, parks, wherever your adventures take you!
FAQ
-
This is largely dependent on you & your dog’s unique situation. The best way for me to know what you’ll need is to book a call so we can make sure it’s a good fit!
-
Absolutely! I designed this program to be completed in 6-weeks if you were to follow everything to a T week-by-week. But you have 4 months of access to account for occasional setbacks, planned trips, etc.

Come on in, this program will be perfect to get your dog to a point where you can actually enjoy taking them places again and eventually get them off-leash!

I've run board & trains for years with real hands-on work, lessons, and daily video updates for owners. It's a legitimate, effective way to train a dog, and I stand behind that work.
Summit Off-Leash School exists for a few specific reasons, not because board & trains don’t work:
Environment. With a board & train, your dog first learns in my training environment, then has to transfer that training into your home, your walks, your actual life. With this program, there's no transfer, every bit of training happens directly in your dog's real environment from day one, so there's nothing to generalize later.
Depth. Board & train gives you a plan built for your dog's specific issues, and you learn to execute it well. This program goes a level deeper, you're learning the actual skill of training itself: how to read your dog, communicate clearly, build drive through play, and layer in tools like the e-collar correctly. That means you're not just equipped for this dog's current challenge, you're equipped for whatever comes up with any dog, for the rest of your life with them.
Access. Board & train means your dog leaves home for weeks, and it comes at a price point that's out of reach for a lot of owners. This program removes both of those barriers, your dog never leaves your side, and it's priced to be accessible to far more people who want real, structured off-leash training.
Both paths get real results. This one is built for owners who want to be fully hands-on from day one, learn the skill themselves long-term, and never have to be apart from their dog to get there.
