Breakout Sessions

Not every dog needs to start from scratch. Breakout Sessions are designed for adult dogs who have the basics down but need work on specific real-life behaviors. Using a LIMA-based, force-free approach, we identify your goals and build a plan around them — no generic programs, no wasted sessions."

Frequent Concerns We Address: Every dog is different, but common challenges we work through include:

  • Leash reactivity and pulling

  • Barking inside the home

  • Jumping and door greetings

  • Settling behaviors — so you can actually enjoy the patio weather

  • Leash handling skills that teach your dog to focus on you, without treats

If you don't see your concern listed, let's talk. Chances are we can help."

From Katie & Lando

“Thaddeus is an incredibly gifted dog trainer! After years of trying to find a trainer that would address the root causes of my dog’s anxious and reactive behavior, I am so grateful to have been able to work with Thaddeus! His LIMA methods, patience, and hands-on work with triggers in real-life situations have worked wonders. We are both more regulated and confident approaching unknown situations and we both learned so much! I cannot recommend Thaddeus enough ”
