Our Training Program
A 2.5 week course in AKC (American Kennel Club) type obedience, incorporating the values of our monastic environment.
Our technique and philosophy
Our aim is to make it possible for owners to include their dogs fully in their lives, to help them realize the dream of what such a relationship can be.
We teach your dog the Heel/Let’s go, Sit, Wait/Stay, Place, Come, Down and Down-Stay on and off leash, and help you with any behavioral difficulties you have mentioned to us. Our method, described at length in our books, "How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend", "The Art of Raising a Puppy", “Divine Canine” and "Let Dogs Be Dogs" employs a philosophy of praise, fairness, and discipline, set against a background of patience, repetition, and dedication.
In addition, over the years, we have had great success integrating remote collars into our training program. These collars use very low-level electrical impulses (usually lower than a human can feel in their own hand) in conjunction with commands to reinforce understanding and bring your dog to on and off-leash reliability, while adjusting unwanted behavior in less time and with much less stress than ever before.
Our Training
Here at New Skete we offer a course in AKC (American Kennel Club) type obedience, incorporating the values of our monastic environment with the teaching of standard exercises both on and off leash. We also help owners with behavioral difficulties they may mention to us. (Please note that some behavioral issues may require a longer or different program than offered at New Skete.)
The course runs 2.5 weeks, and includes:
• Boarding
• Exercise
• Daily training
• Remote collar
• Final interview with demo and hands-on by owner
• Training report for continued education at home and access to video library
Our training comes with unlimited support for the life of your dog.
The program includes follow up to insure your happiness and success.
We are always available to help dogs that have completed our training.
The cost for training is $3,295.00 + NYS sales tax. If you are interested in enrolling your dog in the program, please complete the webform. We need to have your application electronically on record in order to keep track of your dog's place on our waiting list.
1 Week Refresher Training
This program is for dogs that have completed the 2.5 weeks program.
We understand that sometimes life gets hectic and situations can arise that may cause training to sink on our lists of priorities. It is easy to get side tracked.
This one-week program refreshes your dog’s training, building on the foundation from the first board and train.
$1,095 + NYS sales tax.
Client Feedback
Dear Brother Christopher,
Susa has been a joy to have at home. We train every day and she seems to love the exercises. As you can see from the picture, she has become quite enthusiastic about coming when called (and all her other exercises.) Thanks again for your wonderful work with her.
Best Wishes
Anne & Nelson
Couldn't resist our snapping these pictures!
Our 4&3/4 year old (as she says) granddaughter loves Greta and had her sit and heel today. We thought they both did very well, and thought we would share it with you.
This was spur of the moment and without "tools". We just received the new charger, and will be using it as soon as it is revved up.
