In response to rising costs, we’re adjusting how we work to keep our training fees affordable for all families. We’re now accepting two dogs at a time in our home-based, personalized environment. This allows us to maintain the high-quality, tailored experience your dog deserves, without sacrificing the individualized attention that makes our program unique. Our goal is to provide expert training without drastically increasing fees, so your dog can thrive in a loving, affordable environment while you are getting the dog training you need. At our previous location did 4 dogs for training at once, but due to wanting to enjoy our clients and offer a more personalized service, we are keeping things much smaller.

Our clients are accepted into our Facebook group, specifically for past clients, current clients and our waiting list clients. Where they are tagged individually in Facebook updates Monday through Friday. Videos of 7 to 20 minutes are provided depending on what we have achieved for that day, walking you through with detailed information so you are prepared and learning as well and simply seeing your dog while they are with us. Some are sped up due to just doing repetitions, and some are drawn out if I'm coaching. We do not do Facebook / Texting updates on Saturdays or Sundays, we are closed for updates on these days and will not be answering the phone specifically on Sundays. If you do not have Facebook, you would be texted Monday - Friday with YouTube video links. Coaching updates tend to be the most detailed, as they provide essential information to help you prepare for your board and train pick-up. These videos will guide you step-by-step through our daily routines, including how to properly hold the leash, the equipment to use, and the correct position and response for your dog. You'll have access to these videos throughout your board and train experience, allowing you to revisit them whenever needed, especially if any regression occurs.

Your dog returns home from the board and train program with a refined skill set, prompting you as the owner to adapt and improve for optimal results. The structured routine established during training now shapes daily life, where free time becomes a reward for respectful and well-behaved behavior. Engaging your dog in mental stimulation through training reps and handler interaction for 30 to 45 minutes daily becomes a norm, with Lyric demonstrating what these exercises entail. Maintaining crate conditioning and establishing new daily habits contribute to a consistent environment conducive to success. Consistency is key to achieving desired outcomes. To replicate the trainer's success, it's essential to implement the same respectful boundaries and consistency patterns at home. While showering them with love and affection is natural, it's also crucial to strike a balance and limit excessive affection to maintain respect.

If your pup's in our behavior program, we'll have weekly hands-on sessions (excluding Sundays) The goal is to get you well-trained and informed about the process to suit your goals at home. Video updates on non-session days (Mon-Fri), with basic text updates on weekends. Keeping up with homework is key; commit to putting in the work to avoid old issues resurfacing. We'll show you the ideal dog, but keeping it up at home is the real deal.

While your dog is here for a 14 day leadership program, we are tackling ON leash obedience and commands, as well as conditioning them off leash. We train the dogs off leash on a "boring part" of our property, and then head out to distractible part of our property to work your dog off leash heeling, and following commands as well as "off leash" in the house, where some dogs have very poor manners with dinner, people visiting, chewing, or barking, or better yet, kids running and playing! Off leash means they are receiving collar conditioning via remote training while learning to follow commands and directions without a actual leash on the dog, but with the remote collar when needed. We also visit stores, shopping centers, and restaurants, while they are with us. Which you will receive videos of Monday - Friday by 5:00 pm. leadership program dogs receive at least two public store outings while with us. This is for the people and dog friendly dogs only. No behavioral issues accepted.

An e-collar, or electronic collar, works similarly to a TENS unit, providing muscle stimulation. We specifically use the E-Collar Technologies series, available at e-collar.com - we are a electric collar dealer. Our training method pairs commands with gentle e-collar pressure, teaching the dog to turn off the pressure by quickly following the command, rewarded with physical touch and praise. It’s important to watch plenty of our videos to see how our dogs are confidently conditioned, making the e-collar an integrated part of their daily routine.

To book your training spot, a deposit of $500 is required. The remaining balance is due upon arrival. You can pay using the following methods: You can use credit cards, debit or bank with our invoicing system. We also have Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App. Personal checks can be made out to Lyric Edwards. Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle have no additional fees. However, please note that there is a 4% fee for payments made via debit or credit card invoice.

We accept all breeds in our training programs. We have had tiny 4 pounds Chihuahuas to extremely large St Bernards and Danes.We have no breed restrictions. We do raise puppies ourselves, so we do require all vaccines to be completed by the vet before accepting them. The oldest we accept dogs into our program is 6/7 years. When a dog gets into their senior, it causes more stress, unsettled behaviors, they are prone to issues with the exercise and the Florida heat. We put the dogs health first and try to recommend private lessons or group classes with seniors so there is limited stress on the dog.

A day with me at StoneHaven K9 for your pup is full of excitement, fun and structure. Dogs that stay with us take part in several training sessions through the day, among hourly play time as long as the weather permits. Our training sessions involve helping teach your dog the commands, behavior, and obedience that we recommend for all dogs, as well as any issues you specifically listed us to work on. As newcomers to this area, we're excited to create the ideal dog yard! Once our training dogs are fully off-leash conditioned and comfortable playing with other dogs, they will have access to 5 acres, when outside, and supervised. Given that this environment is new to them, we'll ensure their safety by keeping them on a long line until they earn the freedom through controlled behavior, which doesn't take too long! Until our dog yard is complete which will be 2 acres of room. Typically, unless we have outings or lessons with other clients, client dogs are not crated for more than two hours during the day for their downtime. Inside the house, they do not have free roam but are placed on their beds instead of being in their crates, and outside time is dedicated to freedom and play. Why do we do this? Keeping a strict routine inside the house creates a balance of control, rules, and expectations with their training and our personal lives with our family and children. This makes it easier for your dog to follow similar guidelines at home, as long as you adhere to the provided outlines and rules. Training dogs are kept in size-appropriate “impact kennels” for their security in our home's laundry room. We do not let client dogs stay left unattended, without a crate. Training dogs will not be permitted on our couches or beds.

A board and train program involves your dog living with the trainer for a set period, after which you'll receive training to maintain the dog's behavior at home. Ongoing follow-up with your trainer is available as needed. During the program, your dog stays with us for the entire duration. Owners receive lessons, depending on the specific program enrolled in, as well as video updates during business days.
