Private training sessions last about one hour. We address general obedience training and behavior modification in the same session, which is a major advantage of one-on-one training. Some dogs will be ready to learn new skills in a week, others will be ready in a month. The training is tailored to you and your dog.
Call me and tell me about your dog. I’ll listen and help. We always start with a free consultation so we have a chance to meet you and your dog. Contact us and get your free consult today.
Positive reinforcement training is all about rewarding the dog for good behaviors. Our primary tool is always the reward that your dog is most fond of, whether that’s food, praise, petting or a playtime. Other tools that we use are six foot leashes, treat pouches, clickers and harnesses. Every tool we use is designed to be friendly and effective, which is why we cannot allow choke collars, pinch collars or shock collars on our premise or in conjunction with any of our classes or training sessions. Why subject your dog to the pain of these tools if you’re able to teach him without using them? The use of pinch collars, choke collars and shock collars can have such serious negative side effects as fear and aggression.
Yes. Doggy daycare is $25 per day, Monday through Friday, and in-home dog boarding is $45 per night. Both are mostly for our training clients. Dogs must be up to date on their shots and social with other dogs, and any dog that has not been through our training program needs a meet-and-greet first.
See all programs, prices and policies on our Dog Training Services, Prices & FAQ page.
Your dog needs to be up to date on their shots. One important caveat: if your dog gets a Bordetella vaccine, please wait 72 hours before coming in. It is a live vaccine and can make other dogs sick. Any other vaccine is fine, and your dog can come right in.
Puppies can start training at any age once they have had at least two parvo shots.
Yes- Training is a family affair! If you’re working to stop your dog from begging for food while someone else in the family is feeding him chicken under the table, your training is not going to be effective. Inviting the family, even young children, to be involved in the training of your dog is a great way to get the whole family on the same page. Many times children can be the quickest learners when it comes to dog training. We do ask, though, that all children (18 and younger) be supervised by an adult, that way they are not disrupting another dog’s learning or putting themselves or a dog in harm’s way

Carefully consider your schedule and commitment to training your dog before registering for our training programs. A transfer to another class or refund for sessions will only be given if we are notified 3 days after payment. If a dog is unable to attend due to an injury or illness during the enrollment, you will receive a credit towards future training the full amount.
Dog training and dog care always carry some risk. By enrolling in any InsideOut Dog Training service (private lessons, Board & Train, dog boarding or doggy daycare), you agree to the following:
- You are responsible for your dog, and for yourself, your family members and any guests, before, during and after every session, including pickup, drop-off and follow-up appointments.
- You understand that training, and spending time around other dogs in boarding and daycare, carries some risk of injury or illness to you, your guests and your dog, and you accept that risk.
- You release Jason Rae, InsideOut Dog Training, its employees and agents, and the property where services take place from any and all liability for injury, illness or damage that you, your guests or your dog may suffer, including injury caused by any dog.
- You waive any claims by you, your family members or anyone who accompanies you that result from the actions of any dog, including your own.
- You allow InsideOut Dog Training to discuss your dog’s history, training plan and other relevant information with your veterinarian, other animal professionals and family members as needed.
