Everything you do with your dog is shaping their mindset, so this can either continue the progress or bring you back to square one. The choice is yours! Salty Paws used balanced dog training methods to communicate in the best way with your dog.

*All sessions will be scheduled at the time of booking

Some of what can be accomplished... 

Elevate your dog's training experience and incorporate off-leash training. This program provides private sessions within your own home as well as public locations for advanced outings.

While you do not need to be present for all the sessions, it is preferred as we believe that success comes from building the knowledge and relationship between both owner and dog.

We come to your home for up to 2 hours a day, working with your dog in their own environment before beginning field trips. Your dog will be comfortable going places in public, as well as off-leash environments with solid training. We believe in addressing the dog as a whole with mental exercise being just as important as physical exercise.

We prioritize building a solid foundation of not just obedience and manners, but also with the mental state of our dogs, setting the tone for lifelong success. Every dog is different which is why our training is tailored to meet your dog's individual needs.

Training in public locations… There are many field trips for your dog including beach trips for the ultimate salty dog. (Training on boats is also available if requested)

Enjoy having a dog trained in a way that they can go in public with you to dog appropriate locations.

Elevate your dog's training experience and incorporate off-leash training. This program will provide your dog with real life training opportunities throughout each day, teaching them more than just obedience, also focusing on their mental state and enrichment.

We will have multiple sessions on the treadmill, work on mindset,  and spend time on confidence building activities. Throughout the program, owners receive video updates on their dog's progress and are provided with guidance on reinforcing learned behaviors at home. Upon completion of the board and train program, dogs return home with improved behavior, strengthened obedience, and enhanced communication skills, setting them up for long-term success in their family environment. Follow-up support and resources are always provided during a take home session for you and your dog together. 



The Salty Stays package provides the ultimate training for your dog. Dogs will be in my home receiving multiple training sessions a day for 2 weeks.

"Dog training is a never ending process of evolving" - Ivan Balabanov

"Zac makes training seem so simple. After only 6 sessions, we learned the basic obedience techniques and have been seeing fast results. We only intended on doing puppy lessons but will definitely be calling on Salty Paws in a few months for more advanced training. "

- ava

"I was hesitant to work with a trainer but working with Zac has been a game changer for my dog. His dedication to providing a well rounded experience was just what we needed. I can't wait to start enjoying the outings that are now possible after training"

- rob

"After trying several trainers with little success, we were fortunate enough to meet Zac. His calm demeanor and effective techniques helped our Frenchie gain confidence and overcome confidence issues. We couldn't be happier with the results. The thought of training our dog seemed overwhelming but was made so simple and communicated in ways that just made sense"

- Julie
