TOTAL RECALL

Two short weeks - a lifetime of joy

Total Recall is my most popular service, which I’ve been developing and perfecting since I started Pacesetter Training Kennel in 1994. I work closely with each one of my clients and their animals to implement my proven problem solving process. I know you have a busy schedule, so I provide results!

​

Our signature program since 1998!  This program is suitable for dogs and puppies over 4 months of age.  100% off-leash training, even under distraction.  100% satisfaction GUARANTEED.

This is a 2 week in-kennel program and your dog will master the commands of heel, sit, down, place and here - all both on and off lead!

Your dog will also learn to greet guests and family members politely, won't rush through open exit doors and will  become calmer overall.  Place is a particularly popular command in this program, allowing you to safely confine your dog to a specified location (without using a crate) while you answer the door, prepare/enjoy a meal or simply relax without your pet pestering you for attention!  This program is a good choice for busy people/families who don’t want to work as hard with their dog.

JUST THE BASICS

Change your life in just 7 days!

This is a "starter" program, and will lay the foundation for additional training.   On-leash training only and suitable for any age dog (even puppies 8-16 weeks will gain benefits from this program).   Your dog will spend 7 days enrolled in training to master the on-lead basics of heel (no pulling!) and the basic commands of sit, down and stay.  In addition, your dog will learn to respond promptly to his name and will come when called under low distraction.  We will also address such common behavior issues as not jumping and polite through exit doors.  This program will require the most follow-up by you and your family, but your satisfaction is 100% GUARANTEED.

WOW!

Thirty days to the dog of a lifetime.

Suitable for puppies/dogs over 4 months old, this exclusive executive program is the ultimate value in dog training!  For 30 days, your dog will be immersed in a training lifestyle, 24/7, learning good manners indoors and out, going on field trips to dog-friendly public spaces, learning to accept basic grooming, and generally becoming civilized!   Daily training sessions will be interspersed with crate time and all dogs will be crated overnight. Friendly dogs will socialize with other dogs and learn to stay quietly in a fenced yard. The commands of heel, sit, down, place and here are all taught on and off lead.  A perfect choice for the family on the go or the busy professional, this premium program takes the worry and stress out of owning a dog.

Picture yourself coming home after a busy day at work.  Your dog greets you calmly and lies quietly while you prepare dinner.  After dinner, you both go for a relaxing walk; your dog trotting politely beside you.  When in a safe area, slip the leash off so your friend can run and stretch his legs.  Call him when you're ready to return home - he wheels around and returns to you promptly and eagerly.

Yes, you can have all of that and more.

Loaded with exceptional benefits, WOW! is the most comprehensive training program we offer.  Imagine - a puppy enrolled in this program will enjoy free unlimited follow-up training, in-person, phone and email support for the next 10-15 years!  Your satisfaction is 100% GUARANTEED!  Housebreaking is INCLUDED - just tell us what you need!

This program is strictly limited to 2 dogs at any time, and there is generally a 2-6 week waiting list.  Aggressive dogs are not eligible for enrollment.  WOW! will also address and solve separation anxiety!

DART - DOG AGGRESSION REHABILITATION TRAINING

Don't let your aggressive dog run your life!

Suitable for dogs with any kind of serious aggression problems, this program addresses common aggressive behaviors such as (but not limited to):

• fear aggression

• dog-dog aggression

• prey drive

• food/resource aggression/guarding

• aggression between housemates (both dogs MUST attend together)

For milder aggression issues, scroll down for mini DART.

The DART program is a minimum 6 week board and train.  The first 2 weeks are spent teaching/reviewing the commands of heel, sit, down, place and come when called, both on and off leash.  Your participation is welcome following this initial 2 week period, and weekly meetings/lessons can be scheduled at your convenience.  Once the first 2 weeks are complete, your aggressive dog will begin intensive exposure to the situations that trigger aggression, and learn the skills to help them cope.  We specialize in low-level remote collar training for aggressive dogs, giving you the ability to instantly communicate with your dog, and calm aggressive tendencies before they get out of control.

If your dog has EVER bitten (people, dogs or other animals), you must choose either DART or mini-DART (see below).  If your dog is still only threatening to bite, please call us for a free evaluation so we can assess which training program will be of most benefit to you.

This program requires a true commitment to follow-up training - we can effect great change in your life, and give you the tools to improve your life with your dog, but this is not a magic wand and we expect full cooperation from all family members to be successful.  You must be willing to make adjustments to your daily routine, and follow instructions to continue your dog's progress; without this committment, our program will not be successful!  If your dog is living unsupervised in your backyard, this program will not solve any of your problems.
