Memberships & Long-Term Coaching

Most people don’t need “more commands.” They need structure, repetition, accountability, and a coach who can see what the dog’s nervous system is doing underneath the surface.

These memberships exist for one purpose: to stop the cycle of one-off sessions that feel good in the moment, and build a dog who is reliable in real life—at home, on leash, around distractions, and inside the daily pressure of your environment.

This is not behavior modification for severe fear or aggression. If your dog is reactive, anxious, fearful, or has a bite history, we begin with a Behavior Session first and build a separate behavior plan. Memberships are for skill-building, stability, lifestyle obedience, and long-term coaching.

How Membership Works

A membership is simple: you have consistent access to Saturday Membership Only coaching, and depending on the tier you choose, you also receive private lessons, priority scheduling, and long-range support. This is for owners who want their dog’s progress to be protected over time—not just taught once, then lost under stress.

Before You Choose a Membership

  • Memberships are not transferable and are tied to one dog and one household.

  • Credits and discounts apply only under the conditions listed in the program details.

Foundation Membership

  • Foundations Membership — 12 Months

    Investment: $3,500

    This is the clean starting point for owners who want structure and repetition. You are building the dog’s foundation the right way: engagement, leash skills, obedience, boundaries, and reliability through guided practice over time.

    Includes

  • 12 months of Saturday membership-only obedience coaching

  • 4 quarterly Private Training sessions (value $800)

  • Board & Train credit toward a future 5-week board & train (same dog)

    Best for

  • adolescent dogs, first-time owners, “good dog but inconsistent,” people who want a coach and a weekly structure

    Important note

  • Not transferable. Not valid for behavior modification cases.

Progressive membership

Progressive Membership — Coaching + Mild Behavior Modification (12 Months)

Investment: $5500

This membership is for dogs who need more than basic obedience, but who are not high-risk cases. It combines long-term coaching with mild behavior modification so the dog can regain stability and learn without living in constant arousal.

  • 12 months of Saturday membership-only coaching (obedience + real-life reliability)

  • 6 Private training sessions every other month ( Value $1794)

  • Mild behavior modification coaching included

  • A structured plan with clear checkpoints (we do not guess)

  • Board & Train credit toward a future 5-week board & train (same dog)

  • Discount on board & train investment

Mild Behavior Modification includes

  • leash reactivity that is frustration-based and manageable

  • mild anxiety patterns (restlessness, mild separation stress, hypervigilance without aggression)

  • over-arousal, impulse control breakdowns, barking/lunging without intent to bite

  • threshold work, handler mechanics, pattern-building, decompression structure

  • management protocols to prevent rehearsal of unwanted behavior

Not included in Progressive

  • bite history, serious guarding with intent, human-directed aggression

  • severe fear, phobias, panic responses, or unpredictable explosive reactivity

  • cases requiring intensive safety protocols, muzzle conditioning as a primary track, or long-term board & train

If your dog falls into the categories above, we move to the next tier.behalf of the purchaser is permitted.

We take a pause during holiday weekends and classes might be rescheduled due to severe weather or instructor unavailability.

intensive behavior membership

  • Intensive Behavior Membership — Full Behavior Modification (12 Months)

    Investment: $7500

    This is the dedicated behavior track for dogs who are living too close to the primal mind—reactivity, fear, anxiety, guarding, and aggression patterns that cannot be solved through group coaching alone.

    This is not “obedience with a little behavior work.” This is a full behavior modification program with structure, accountability, and clear safety boundaries.

    Includes

    • 12 months of structured behavior modification coaching (full track)

    • Saturday membership-only group coaching when appropriate for the dog’s current stability

    • A written behavior plan with phases and progression checkpoints

    • Management + safety protocols to stop rehearsal and reduce risk

    • Priority scheduling within the limits of your capacity

    • Board & Train credit toward a future board & train (same dog) and discount options if escalation is needed

  • 12 Private Behavior Modification Training sessions (Value $3588)

    Full Behavior Modification includes

    • fear-based reactivity, anxiety-driven behavior, guarding patterns

    • aggression risk reduction work with clear safety rules

    • muzzle conditioning when needed

    • exposure strategy and threshold work designed to protect the nervous system

    • handler coaching: mechanics, timing, spatial pressure, and state control at the leash level

    Boundaries (non-negotiable)

    Full Behavior is capped at 12 months. Severe cases may require board & train or a separate intensive plan depending on risk level, owner compliance, and the dog’s history. If the dog is not safe for group environments, group participation is postponed until the dog is stable enough.10% discount on private training rates

Non-Transferability: This package is specific to one dog and the purchaser at the time of sale. It is non-transferable in the event of a change in the dog's ownership or if applied to another dog. It is also non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

Class Scheduling: Classes may be paused during holiday weekends and rescheduled due to severe weather or instructor unavailability.

Lifetime Mentorship Membership — Long-Term Coaching

Investment: $15,000

This is not a package. This is mentorship.

The Lifetime Membership exists for the owner who wants their dog supported across the entire arc of life—adolescence, maturity, transitions, setbacks, new environments, and the seasons where most people quietly fall off and the dog slides back into old patterns.

Dogs do not change because we trained once. They change because the nervous system rehearses stability repeatedly over time, under real pressure, with guidance and accountability. This membership is designed to protect that process.

Lifetime is defined as your dog’s working life, up to approximately 10 years, provided Canine Evolutions remains in operation.

What’s Included

  • Lifetime access to Saturday membership-only coaching for the enrolled dog

  • VIP scheduling priority within available capacity

  • 20 private lessons included (used strategically where they create the most leverage)

  • Ongoing mentorship guidance as your dog’s needs evolve over time

  • Access to online seminars / educational resources when offered

  • Board & Train credit toward a future board & train program (same dog)

  • Discounted rates on additional board & train investment when appropriate

Best For

  • owners who want long-range reliability in real life, not “good in a session”

  • high-drive dogs and working-line dogs that require structure across years

  • families who want continuity: one philosophy, one coach, one system

  • clients who value coaching, accountability, and maintenance as a lifestyle

Important Boundaries

  • This membership is non-transferable and tied to one dog and one household.

  • Group participation depends on safety and stability; some dogs must earn access to group environments.

  • The Lifetime Membership is designed for long-term coaching. Dogs with severe aggression, severe anxiety/panic responses, or significant bite history may require an additional behavior track.

Behavior Track Add-On (Severe Anxiety / Aggression): $4,999

Some dogs require a dedicated safety and stabilization track before they can benefit from standard coaching. If your dog has a significant bite history, human-directed aggression, severe fear/panic, or unpredictable explosive reactivity, enrollment requires the Behavior Track Add-On. This covers the additional assessment time, safety protocols, structured behavior plan, and private behavior coaching required to reduce risk and build stability.Non-Transferability: This package is specific to one dog and the purchaser at the time of sale. It is non-transferable in the event of a change in the dog's ownership or if applied to another dog. It is also non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

Class Scheduling: Classes may be paused during holiday weekends and rescheduled due to severe weather or instructor unavailability.

Exclusions: This package does not cover any private lessons beyond the package
