Every dog and every owner is different. Pick the door that fits — we train your dog, we hand you a dog that's already started, or we train you. Most owners start with obedience: a flat $1,500, about three weeks.
Full-time, in-home board and train — your dog lives and trains with us in McKinney on the 3-Phase Method. Most dogs enter at obedience and move through the system as far as they're ready to go. No concrete runs, no rotating staff, no dog waiting a week for a turn.
Obedience Program
Most requested$1,500 flatAbout 3 weeks
For sporting dogs that need reliable manners and calm, controlled behavior — whether you plan to hunt or not. This is where most dogs start and where most owners stop. A Phase 1 dog is the best-mannered dog on the block, bird or no bird.
One flat fee of $1,500 covers the whole program. Most dogs are done in about three weeks. If yours needs a fourth or fifth week to get it right, that week is on me — I'm not going to hand back a half-trained dog or send you a bigger invoice because your dog took longer.

Phase 3 work happens on real ground, not a training yard.
Not every dog needs the full method, and not every dog starts at Phase 1. Gundog phases are billed monthly with no long-term contract — most dogs continuing past obedience stay two to four months depending on where they start and how finished you want them. Every dog starts with an evaluation, and fit matters: we take two to three dogs at a time.
Occasionally we place started dogs trained in-house on the 3-Phase Method — championship British bloodlines, selected and finished by me. These go by waitlist before they're ever listed publicly, so the list is the only way in.
Phase 1 and Phase 2 complete
Gun conditioned on real birds
Health clearances documented
Handover session included
Pricing depends on the individual dog and how far along it is. Join the list and I'll come to you with details when one is ready.
