Deep Dive • 5 Hours (Often 2 Days) Phoenix + Northern AZ
When your dog’s behavior stops being “annoying”
and starts costing you sleep, peace, and sanity.
This is the intensive for real families who need real traction — fast. Sometimes it’s manners. Sometimes it’s leash chaos. Sometimes it’s potty training. Sometimes it’s safety. The point is the same: you don’t need another tip… you need a plan.
Weekends are common so everyone can be home, learn the same rules, and stop the “one person trains / everyone else accidentally untrains” cycle.
What the Deep Dive actually is
A long-form, in-home working session where we stop guessing, stop “trying random stuff,” and build structure that holds up in real life.
You get:
• Clear priorities (what matters first)
• Household rules everyone can follow
• Leash + home structure you can repeat
• A plan that matches your dog, not YouTube
It’s perfect when:
• You’re overwhelmed with multiple issues
• You work all week and need a weekend jumpstart
• You need an honest safety / reality check
• You want progress you can measure
Who It’s For
Pick the lane you’re living in right now.
Lane 1: Chaos + manners
Leash pulling. Jumping. Barking. Door-dashing. Not listening. Guests are stressful. Walks are not fun. You want a dog you can live with again.
Lane 2: Time-compressed
You work all week. You’ve got a weekend. You need traction fast — a plan everyone understands — and reps you can repeat Monday morning.
Lane 3: Serious / safety
Reactivity. Bite history. Dog fights. A child was involved. Or you’re quietly thinking about rehoming. This is where you need honest answers.
Deep Dive FAQs
The questions real families ask before they hit “book.”
Pick your lane: safety, chaos, or “we work all week and need traction fast.” (Sometimes it’s all three.)
Is this only for aggression / bite cases?
Nope. It’s for any situation where you need an honest diagnosis + structure installed fast. Yes — we handle serious cases. But we also fix “daily-life chaos” that’s wrecking your home.
What behaviors can we tackle in a Deep Dive?
Common wins: manners, obedience, leash pulling, reactivity, jumping, barking, door-dashing, crate issues, recall, confidence. We prioritize what moves the needle first.
Can you help with potty training?
Yes — especially when it’s paired with crate structure + supervision systems. If you’ve tried “just take them out more” and you’re still losing… you’re not crazy. You need a system.
We work all week. Can we do this on a weekend?
That’s one of the biggest reasons families book this. Weekends let everyone be home, learn the same rules, and stop the “one person trains / everyone else accidentally untrains” cycle.
What if it’s separation anxiety or panic?
Yes — and we’ll be straight with you: it’s rarely a “one-session fix.” The Deep Dive is for assessment + the first real protocol you can repeat daily.
What if this is a safety / breaking point situation?
If there’s bite history, dog fights, or a child was involved — that’s exactly when a Deep Dive matters. Sometimes families need training. Sometimes they need a clear decision.
Do you guarantee results?
No — behavior is living, breathing, and context-driven. If I could guarantee it, we’d all go to Vegas and bet on black. What I do guarantee: a real assessment, honest feedback, and a plan built for your actual house.
What happens after the Deep Dive?
You leave with: your priorities, your rules, your reps, and your next step. Sometimes that’s continued coaching. Sometimes it’s a Super Session. Sometimes it’s “here’s the truth you needed.”

Ready for traction?
Start the intake and I’ll send the deeper questionnaire link. Then we do a quick phone call so we book the right format — not the wrong one.
Weekend intensives are common so the whole household can be present. Weekday options exist too.
Important — Please Read
Let’s talk about guarantees.
Dogs are living beings. Families are living systems. Environments change.

Because of that, no ethical trainer can guarantee behavior outcomes. If we could guarantee behavior like a slot machine, we’d all be in Las Vegas betting on black.

What I can do is assess risk, install structure, improve handling mechanics, and dramatically increase the odds of safer, calmer outcomes — provided the household follows through.

If your dog has a bite history, has been involved in fights, or there are children in the home, full disclosure during intake is essential so we plan responsibly.
Structured training. Honest expectations. Real-world accountability.

By sliding into this page and hitting submit, you’re basically saying: “Yep, you can reach out to me.”

That might look like a text, a phone call, or a Zoom chat where we actually talk like humans about your goals and the questionnaire you filled out. Good news:

 

  • Your info is locked down 🔒
  • It’s never sold, traded, shared, bartered, or launched into the marketing universe
  • No spam. No weird emails. No carrier pigeons.

 

Just real conversations, real help, and a plan that actually makes sense.
