All of our dog training programs include support between lessons, so you never have to worry about getting stuck.
The biggest difference between our dog training programs is different levels of training goals and how much we do for you to save you time & effort.
The more time we spend with you and your dog, the more we can achieve and the more reliable your dog will be in more situations. You can choose the dog training program you want based on your preferences.
We recognize all dogs and owners are different, and we want to make sure you achieve your training goals. That’s why all of our dog training programs include support, either virtually or in person, so you never have to worry about getting stuck.
For private lessons, we serve areas within or near Frederick County, Maryland: Urbana, Frederick, Mount Airy, Damascus, Clarksburg, Adamstown, Buckeystown, etc.
Board and Train clients come to us from all over the mid-Atlantic region!
And yes, we do puppy training too!
Prices for FluentDog Training’s adult dog training programs start at $825.

Canine Charm School
You want the freedom to do what you love while your dog is around. Have people over. Go to the park. Walk without being dragged down the street. Be able to leave for work without getting muddy paws all over your clothes.
Our Canine Charm School program allows you to enjoy life with your dog around the house and around town because you have confidence they will listen. We’ll show you how to get your dog to do what you want… the first time you ask. No more “sit…Sit… SIT!!!”
This dog training program begins with a private lesson so you can get immediate help. Then, we’ll schedule an immersive 2-week stay at the trainer’s home. Your dog will get plenty of 1-on-1 training practice so that when they come they are already on the right path…plus, daily structured socialization sessions so your dog can play and learn to interact safely and appropriately with other dogs.
Follow-up lessons will teach you how to get your dog to listen to you just as well as to the trainer and give you peace of mind that your goals will be reached.
You’ll also get invitations to pack walks to practice your dog’s new skills around other dogs and real-world distractions for a whole year. We support you every step of the way so you can achieve your training goals. Before long, you’ll be able to bring your dog to public areas with ease because you have the control you need.
This program includes:
- 14-day stay for your dog at your trainer’s home
- Daily dog socialization sessions during his stay with us
- 3 private lessons: before, during and after the board-and-train
- Manners like waiting at doors, not jumping on people or stealing food off counters, crate training, staying calm when asked, and more…
- Listening around the house off leash and with distractions
- Commands like come, place leave it, drop it and walking without pulling
- Invitation to join group polishing classes to practice around other trained dogs for 1 year
- 1-year subscription to our private client Facebook group
- All training equipment included ($180 value)
If you prefer lessons over board and train, we also offer a lesson version of the Charm School program.
Set for Life
This is our most elite dog training program and will give you full control over your dog off leash, even around distractions! Which is awesome, because most family dogs spend 99% of their time off-leash at home. This program gives you the most freedom to enjoy your dog in any situation, knowing they’ll listen. This dog training program is also perfect if you’re feeling overwhelmed and you know you need a professional to help with obedience training and/or behavior modification.
More time with your trainer means less work and effort for you, and your dog gets farther along faster – listening in all kinds of places and situations!
Your dog will come, sit, lay down, heel and stay – AND we’ll also teach your dog to go to a dog bed (“place”) and stay until told otherwise – awesome for dinner time or anytime you don’t want your dog under your feet.
We’ll even practice together out in public on field trip lessons so you know your dog will listen even around distractions.
Our Set For Life Program also comes with a LIFETIME SUPPORT guarantee so you never have to worry about your dog’s training slipping over time. You and your dog can always come to our group lessons, free of charge, whether you need help or you want to work toward a targeted goal like the AKC Canine Good Citizen test.
This program includes:
- 21 day stay for your dog in your trainer’s home
- Daily dog socialization sessions during his stay with us
- 4 private dog training lessons: so you’re learning how to improve your dog’s behavior before, during and after the board-and-train, plus an extra refresher lesson to be used anytime
