The Mountain Spirit K9 Pack
Where lifelong success begins
We empower owners to succeed with their dogs, for life
Our experienced, balanced trainer gives owners the tools they need to take an active role in their dog's training. We're committed to helping you learn and become empowered, so your dog can reach its full potential, not just with us, but with you.
We don't believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Our customized, goal-driven programs are tailored to the unique needs of each dog and owner. With a medical-model mindset developed through her work as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, our trainer excels in critical thinking, problem-solving, and delivering positive, lasting results.
Training is a journey
We support you well past your program, with pack walks, day trains, and structured vacation boarding. Our community provides healthy exposure and appropriate socialization to give your pup the tools to succeed for life.
A supportive environment
We offer a supportive environment built to empower dog owners for lifelong success. Every program is customized and goal-driven, tailored to the unique needs of each dog and owner, never one-size-fits-all.
Self-growth is a gift
Your dog will challenge you in ways you don't expect. We see these as excellent opportunities for self-growth, self-compassion, and patience, and we honor that process, providing support where you need it.
Every dog's training journey is a climb
Our programs aren't a menu, they're a route up the mountain. Start at base camp, build your foundation, choose your ascent, and reach the summit with a dog who's ready for anything. Here's the path.
Consultation
Every journey starts with a conversation. We get to know your dog, your goals, and the terrain ahead, in person or virtually over Google Meet, from anywhere.
Private Training
All dogs will start by signing up for the “Foundations Package” and begin private, one-on-one training in the dogs home. We will start with maximizing relationships and effective communication within the home for a solid foundation no matter which route you choose to the summit.
Two ways up, both reach the summit
The Hybrid Climb
Keep building on your Foundations with a mix of continued Private Training with Day Trains: your dog trains with us by day and comes home each night tired and fulfilled. Steady progress, no overnights required.
Confidence Building, Socialization & Exposure
This program is meant for puppies, happy go lucky dogs or dogs who are a little nervous. This program is a great addition to private training sessions to help bring your dog to the next level of training and build confidence in real world settings.
Not for off leash training- please see board and train
Board & Train
We carry the load. Your dog lives and learns with us for an immersive stay and comes home transformed, with the most owner-inclusive handoff and lifetime support anywhere.
Off-Leash and/or Rehabilitation
This is our most inclusive program that will give your dog the strongest foundation, a calm mindset, and modern world training with your trainer. Board and train is the best and only option for reliable off-leash freedom and/or serious behavioral rehabilitation.
Summit Services: Vacation Boarding & Pack Walks
All graduates get you to the Sumit where you can enjoy Pack Walks with our balanced community and the benefits of Vacation Boarding in your trainers home.
