The training choice

Choose the right training path for your dog.

Basic training is included with every boarding day. If your dog needs more individual time, focused work can be added to boarding.

Everyday skills and reliability

Work can cover recall, loose-leash walking, place, waiting at doors, greeting without jumping, and staying responsive around distractions.See the three training levels

A specific behavior problem

Fear, reactivity, guarding, separation problems, or a dog that cannot settle need a plan built around the real behavior.See how behavior rehabilitation works

South Riding pickup

One trip can cover the stay.

Raja provides pickup and drop-off for boarding and longer training stays. Regular daily collection has a 78-minute one-way planning ceiling, and South Riding is outside that area. General pickup has an approximately 90-minute one-way planning ceiling, not a promised travel time.

Training in South Riding

Choose a South Riding training stay around a clear home goal.

The South Riding community dog park provides a setting for play near home. A training stay serves a different purpose: time for work on the behavior that makes everyday life difficult. Enjoying a play session does not tell you whether your dog can pass another dog calmly on a walk or settle when visitors arrive.

Before the evaluation, describe the situation you want help with rather than choosing a stay length first. Raja can assess the dog and the longer-stay format, then discuss focused work and owner handover. The aim is to make the training useful when you are back together in South Riding, without promising a fixed timeline or result.
