The Coquina Compass Package | 10 Private Lessons

This is our most comprehensive training program, offering ten private lessons that guide you and your dog from the earliest foundations through advanced skills and real-world reliability. Each 60–90 minute session takes place in your home building towards public settings, allowing us to build confidence where your dog lives every day and then proof those skills around distractions. Whether you’re starting with a young puppy, working with an adult dog, or tackling behavioral challenges, this package provides the structure, clarity, and long-term support needed to create lasting transformation.

Throughout the program, you’ll receive detailed emailed homework after every lesson so you know exactly how to practice between sessions, as well as 24/7 trainer support to keep you on track. The Coquina Compass Package covers everything from crate training, leash manners, and household obedience to off-leash reliability, advanced commands, and public outings. It is also designed to help families with significant behavioral concerns or multiple-dog households create calm, cooperative routines. Much like a compass provides direction, this package is designed to point you and your dog toward a clear path of trust, respect, and reliability both at home and out in the world.

The Coquina Cove Legacy Program

IMG_6975

The Coquina Cove Legacy Program is a two-phase Board & Train experience designed to support your dog’s development from puppyhood through adulthood with consistency, structure, and expert guidance. This program is ideal for families seeking a proactive, long-term approach to raising a well-mannered, confident companion.

The journey begins with our Puppy Board & Train, focused on building a strong early foundation through crate training, housebreaking, basic obedience, calm engagement, and proper socialization—all in a structured coastal home environment. Early intervention during this stage is critical, as it not only encourages healthy habits but also allows us to identify and address any emerging behavioral concerns before they become more difficult to manage.

After several months of continued growth and reinforcement at home, your dog returns for the Adult Board & Train (typically between 6–9 months of age), where we advance their training into reliable obedience, impulse control, public access readiness, and off-leash reliability. This phase builds directly upon the groundwork established during puppyhood, reinforcing desired behaviors and curbing nuisance habits as your dog matures.

By working with your dog through both pivotal stages of development, the Legacy Program ensures lasting results and a smooth transition into adult life—setting the stage for a lifelong partnership grounded in clarity, trust, and dependable behavior.

The Beacon Rehabilitation Board & Train Program

Client Image 0088

The Beacon Program is an intensive, highly specialized Board & Train experience designed for dogs exhibiting complex or concerning behavioral challenges, including aggression, fear-based responses, anxiety, and severe reactivity. This program is tailored for committed owners seeking professional intervention and long-term behavioral transformation.

Enrollment begins with a required in-home behavioral evaluation to assess suitability for the program. Due to the highly individualized nature of this work, cases are accepted on a case-by-case basis and space is extremely limited to ensure the highest level of care and attention.

Following evaluation, a custom behavior modification plan is developed and implemented in a calm, structured, coastal home environment. Training incorporates a balanced methodology grounded in safety, consistency, and clear communication. Emphasis is placed not only on progress during the program, but on equipping owners with the tools and understanding needed for sustainable success beyond graduation.

The Beacon Program is designed to be a guiding light for both dog and owner—offering clarity, structure, and support on the journey toward greater stability, confidence, and long-term behavioral wellness.

The Driftwood Custom Board & Train Program

The Driftwood Program is a fully customized Board & Train experience designed to meet the unique behavioral needs of your dog and the specific goals of your household. This program is ideal for dogs who require a more individualized approach—whether addressing anxiety, reactivity, complex behavioral concerns, or simply refining existing obedience skills.

Following a comprehensive consultation, a personalized training plan is developed and implemented in a structured, in-home environment. Your dog will receive daily one-on-one training, enrichment, and consistency to ensure meaningful progress and lasting results.

The Driftwood Program offers a high-touch, adaptable solution for dogs who do not fit into traditional programs. With a thoughtful blend of structure, support, and professional expertise, this program helps your dog build calm, confidence, and clarity—paving the way for long-term success both at home and in the real world.

The Wave Rider Adult Board & Train Program

Whether you're walking the beach, exploring the city, or enjoying everyday moments, this program helps your dog remain calm, focused, and responsive—no matter the setting.

Training includes personalized daily sessions using a high-quality e-collar (included with the program) to build dependable recall, impulse control, and real-world obedience. We also reinforce key manners such as loose-leash walking, polite greetings, in-home relaxation, and appropriate behavior in public spaces.

Set within a structured, coastal in-home environment and enriched with real-world outings, Wave Rider is ideal for families seeking dependable off-leash control without compromising the relationship they share with their dog. Upon graduation, your dog will return home with a clearer mind, a stronger connection, and the freedom to confidently ride life’s waves right by your side.
