BOARD AND TRAIN
Your dog will work closely with one of our Professional Dog Trainers in a structured environment to achieve the training goals we’ve set together. By living and practicing obedience daily, your dog will make rapid progress. On pick up day we’ll equip you with the tools to continue leading and enjoying your well-trained dog!
PUPPY PROGRAMS
Let’s start those good habits young! We offer a variety of puppy training programs designed to build a strong foundation for a lifetime of success. Our focus is on developing confidence, introducing basic commands, encouraging positive early socialization with new dogs, people, and environments, and supporting successful potty training.
Proper early socialization and structure play a key role in raising a confident, well-rounded dog who is prepared for everyday life at home and in the real world.
DAY TRAIN
We offer Day Training programs for puppies 10 weeks to 7 months of age, as well as for dogs who have previously completed training with Fetchers or another facility.
Drop your dog off for a day of focused training where our Professional Dog Trainers reinforce and build upon obedience skills. Throughout the program, you’ll receive updates, photos, and insights on your dog’s progress, along with guidance on what's next!
PRIVATE LESSONS
One Hour Sessions, Five 1-on-1's, virtual options, and more! Work one on one with one of our Professional Dog Trainers and your dog to learn essential skills and gain the tools needed to continue training beyond Fetchers. Ask questions, receive personalized guidance, and get “homework” between sessions to help reinforce progress and continue training at home.

Deirdre with Louis and Henri (9 Month Old English Golden Retrievers)Madee and I chose the 4 week stay-training for these two hoodlums, and hands down (including every single cent it cost) it was the right decision! She quickly estabalished respect, gave solid boundaries while challenging their ever-growing curiosities and need to learn. It was the right balance for them to grow and begin to be welcomed socially into situations without taking the whole place down.
After they graduated, I took Madee up on a follow-up home visit and this was the icing on the cake! It helped tighten everything up and answered all of those little questions that I still had once we were home. We look forward to continuing this relationship as they grow with Madee and Fetchers.
Tom, Linda, and Bugs (1 Year Old Boxer)Bug's obedience, attention, and fearfulness were major concerns before training, and the turn around is amazing. We enjoy walks as much as he does, rides in car great; he knows commands and can calmly lay in grass or even chases balls. We received great training from Madee to give us the tools to keep working on our relationship with Bugs. Fetchers, Thank You!
Payton, Alex, and Crosby (5 Year Old German Shepard Dog Mix)We are so thankful for Madee’s hard work with Crosby! He is still the gentle, loving pup from before his training but now has more boundaries and skill!
Crystal, Matt, and Cedar (1 Year Old Yellow Lab)We are so grateful to Madee for all of the work and communication. She made the training accessible and continues to help us reach and attain our training goals. We are grateful for her creativity and encouragement!
Teresa with her 10 month Blue Heeler, AngusYou are a MIRACLE WORKER, I don't think I thanked you enough. Angus has been challenging me for sure but he's been able to ignore Roger and now listens to me!"
