Vashon & Seattle Services
Covid Update: Initial consultations begin here at Lighthouse Farm. (outside when possible, masked and distanced inside when needed)
Private training services are offered on Vashon and Seattle. All private training begins with a Behavior Evaluation. This is a 1 1/2 hr evaluation at your home where we can better see the issues or concerns you are experiencing. Once completed we move forward with individual training sessions (1 hr) or a package of four weekly sessions.
Weekend Intensive
The Weekend Intensive is 8 hours of training over two days. Two hour session in the AM and two hours in the afternoon. This is a wonderful way to get in ample repetitions and controlled experiences for dogs with shyness or aggression issues. Locations can be cusumized for best results.
Vashon only:
Semi Private Classes
Small classes limited to 3 students for more personalized program. This is not your usual class. It is very important to me that you learn the tasks that will help you with your individual dog. By keeping the class small we have a chance to address your challenges and have more social time for the dogs. (Not available due to covid)
Vashon Puppy JumpStart Intensive
Join us for our new puppy program. Your pup comes to the farm on MWF for 3 hours of play and training. They will be introdced to the clicker and marker-based training. Tasks learned: sit, down, wait, loose leash walking, stay. Our focus is creating uncommonly calm pups who learn self-control, patience, tethering, appropriate use of their mouths, and learn to settle themselves more quickly. You too will be educated on your pup's progress and goals. In addition, you will recieve training homework after each session, get access to our training youtube playlist for support, and the tools needed for success at home.
Your pup must have been seen by a vet, started on all vaccinations (including bordatella--Rabies not needed) and had a clear fecal float in the last month.
Dog-Daycare & Play Days
Our play days are focused on safe social play for island dogs. Like our boarding, we limit the number of dogs in attendence so our dogs can have a positive experience and lessen the chance of injury. Dogs are matched with appropriate play partners and are supervised during their sessions.
Herding/Sheep care
Herding lessons and sheep care programs are available by appointment. We have great sheep for dogs just starting out and advanced sheep and terrain for the most experienced of dogs. Do you have sheep of your own and just need help getting your dog to be more responsive? I make farm calls to help you & your working dog.
