Save the Home Program
Welcome to Save the Home!
The Save the Home Program is designed to provide community members with affordable, foundational training for their beloved canine companions. This program is perfect for preparing to take group classes, building training at-home, or getting additional coaching with a behavior modification plan.
When you complete your registration, the Canine Behavior Team will pair you with one of our excellent staff and volunteer trainers based on their experience and availability. All trainers in this program either hold a professional training licensure or are working towards their CPDT-ka certification with supervision by licensed behavior staff.
Sessions may be held at a variety of locations depending on the goals of your training plan including, but not limited to, our Program Center in Manchester, CT, local parks, or in-home visits.*
All Our Companions Behavior Programs follow a Pay-What-You-Can System, where clients can adjust the price of classes based on what they are willing and able to pay. The suggested price for this program is $275 and includes three, one-hour private sessions.
Additional sessions can be scheduled as needed. If you have any questions or are unsure of your eligibility for this program. Please contact us at 860-242-9999 or [email protected]
*In-home training is offered on a case-by-case basis.
