Luna’s Canine Academy offers structured training programs designed to improve behavior, clarity, and reliability in real-world situations. Each program is tailored to the dog and the goals of the owner, with a focus on long-term success rather than quick fixes.

All training begins with an in-person evaluation to determine the most effective path forward.

In-home training is ideal for owners who want to be actively involved in the training process and apply skills directly within their daily routines. Sessions take place in the dog’s normal environment, allowing behaviors to be built and reinforced where they matter most.

This option works well for:

• Puppies learning foundational skills

• Dogs that struggle with consistency or follow-through

• Owners who want hands-on guidance and coaching

Training focuses on clear communication, structure, and practical application so progress continues between sessions.

Board and train programs provide structured, consistent training in a controlled environment. Dogs receive focused daily training designed to establish behaviors, improve reliability, and build clarity through repetition and structure.

This option is well suited for:

• Owners with limited time

• Dogs needing a stronger training foundation

• Situations where consistency is difficult to maintain at home

Owner transition and follow-up guidance are provided to ensure training carries over once the dog returns home.

Puppy training focuses on building a strong foundation early. Programs emphasize engagement, structure, and appropriate boundaries while supporting confidence and calm behavior.

Early training helps prevent unwanted habits and creates clear expectations as the puppy matures. Owners are guided on how to reinforce skills consistently during everyday interactions.

Adult dogs often know basic commands but struggle with reliability or follow-through. Training for adult dogs focuses on clarity, consistency, and strengthening known behaviors so they hold up in real-world situations.

Programs are adjusted based on the dog’s history, temperament, and current challenges, with an emphasis on practical improvement and confidence.

Training is structured, goal-oriented, and transparent. Progress is built through consistency and follow-through rather than shortcuts.

Owners can expect:

• Clear communication and guidance

• Realistic timelines and expectations

• Support throughout the training process

• Emphasis on reliability, not perfection

Each program is designed to support long-term success.

Because every dog and situation is different, training programs are customized following an in-person evaluation. This allows training to be tailored appropriately and ensures recommendations are based on the dog’s needs, not a preset package.

During the evaluation, we will discuss goals, program options, and scheduling.
