Get Started

The BOARD & TRAIN Alternative

When you enroll in a Home School program with Instinct, a certified coach will visit several times per week to work with your dog 1-on-1, in your own home and around your neighborhood — a perfect alternative to our Camp + Coaching programs. We offer two tracks when working with a certified trainer, and one track with a certified behavior consultant, so you can choose the option that best fits your dog’s needs. Our Nature-Driven Nurture™ framework and positive reinforcement training methods ensure the learning experience is fully customized and enjoyable for you and your dog.

Home School w/Trainer is perfect for:

Life skills
Manners
Basic Behavior Goals

Home School w/Behavior Consultant is perfect for:

Aggression Issues
Fear Issues
Separation Anxiety
More Complex Behavioral Issues

“We had such a great experience working with our trainer from Instinct! Her kind, patient approach has been great for our puppy. He really benefited from the Home School program and we made tons of progress together. Couldn’t be happier with our experience, highly recommend!”

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

1. We Teach Your Dog

One of our nationally certified trainers visits your home 3 times per week to work one-on-one with your dog on a fully customized training & behavior plan.

2. We Teach You

You receive regular private coaching sessions with your trainer or behavior consultant, to bring you up to speed on everything your dog is learning!

3. You Become Instinct Alumni

You & your dog get unlimited access to your customized Collaborative Coaching Board and our alumni-only Facebook group, so you can continue making progress long after your program ends.

Program Options

Home School + Coaching programs start at $2450 w/Trainer and $2795 w/Behavior Consultant. Programs last, on average, 3-6 weeks, and include behavioral health support plans and lifetime access to your tailored Collaborative Coaching Board.

Build Real Skills Where It Matters Most—At Home

Home is where your dog lives, learns, and spends most of their time—so it makes sense to train there, too. Let us help you build lasting habits that make daily life easier and more enjoyable.
