Canine Connection
Current Training Programs and Rates

2 Week Training Program

Canine Connection feels the best training is offered in the home environment, where the dog is familiar with it's surroundings and where the dog will spend the most time. It also allows Lisa to work with each pets individual requirements and address any issues specific to your pet. Lisa can make group training available and has those type classes available from time to time, contact Lisa to create your pets custom training program.

This program is $550; price will rise to $600, March 15th. We take half payment the first week, half second week for your convince.

Reservations are required and deposits are required to save a place in the program.

Private Lessons

This program consists of 6 one hour sessions in your home. We will work together for one hour, on all obedience commands such as heeling, sit, stay but also focus on behavioral issues such as jumping, barking, mouthing, etc. All family members are encouraged to participate. The lessons are set up to work with your busy schedule, so both evenings and Saturdays are available. You are given a lesson plan to practice till we meet the next week.

This program is $400.00; we take half payment on first lesson, other half on 4th lesson.

Basic Group Lessons

The classes are held in Gulfport, with the City of Gulfport. It is a 6 week course, the first class is actually a lecture where you do not bring dog. We discuss all training philosophy and behavioral issues. Next class you bring dog, held outside at the Gulfport neighborhood center. The classes are one hour, usually reserve last 10 minutes for questions, problem solving. Classes usually have 10 to 12 dogs.

We work on all basic obedience commands such as heel, sit, stay, come when called and all behavioral issues, with distractions.

Class cost is $100; $75 if dog is a rescue.

Puppy Head Start Training Program

This program is designed to get puppy off on the right paw. We start as early as 8 weeks through 6 months of age. We work on all puppy related issues, such as housebreaking, feeding schedules, home set up, walking nicely on a leash, mouthing, jumping and any thing else you might be dealing with.
Our goal is to set good boundaries and encourage good habits, and stop any bad habits from forming. I encourage all family members to be part of the training sessions, especially children.

3- One hour sessions, spread out over 2 to 3 month period. We do initial session, wait approximately 2 weeks, a lot will have changed, then 3rd session in about a month.

I feel this is the most important training you can do with your dog. It sets a foundation for both you and pet, and improves the bonding experience.

Cost-$150
