Highpoint Dog Training LLC

Private training involves the pet and family working one on one with Noah. This could be in your house, at the Highpoint property, or out in the world, depending on what you would be working on. Private training includes follow-up emails and support, as well as custom resources and training plans. The most common schedule for training is to meet for two hours once a week, though meeting more frequently may be better in the case of a puppy or particularly difficult issue (intense fear, aggression, escape problems, etc.).

For other types of animals (cats, small animals, exotics), you would always meet in your own home, but the training time, resources, and support would be the same.

Private Training can be purchased in packages of 6, 8, or 10 sessions and are priced to reflect 2 hours per session. You can also choose not to purchase a package and instead pay the hourly rate at the end of each session.

One Dog Per Hour – $100 | 6 Sessions – $1,140 | 8 Sessions – $1,480 | 10 Sessions – $1,800

Two Dogs Per Hour – $150 | 6 Sessions – $1,740 | 8 Sessions – $2,280 | 10 Sessions – $2,800

Highpoint Dog Training has a wonderful property in Elgin, IL with accommodations for boarding and a dedicated indoor training space. A Board and Train involves your dog or dogs coming to stay at the HPDT facility for a number of weeks (minimum two). As with Private Lessons, there will be a custom training plan created after the Consultation which acts as the guide for the work that will be done. Unlike Private Lessons, during a Board and Train Noah will be the person working with the dog daily; teaching, practicing, and applying new skills. The training would then be transferred back to the owner(s) and the home with lessons both during and after the dog’s stay. Four lessons are included in the price of the Board and Train, though additional lessons may be necessary based on the difficulty level of the training, the time you have to practice the training, and the severity of the issues in the home. The benefits of this program include expert hands-on instruction for your dog, consistency in the training, faster development of new skills, more time spent practicing, and a positive separation experience for both the owner and the dog.

Board and Train Programs are offered for a minimum of two weeks. Dogs receive daily training, exercise, meals, and enrichment, and regular updates will be provided to the owner(s) via text.

One Dog 2 Weeks – $2,000 | 3 Weeks $2,800 | 4 Weeks $3,500

Two Dogs 2 Weeks – $3,000 | 3 Weeks $4,200 | 4 Weeks $5,250

The Highpoint property has indoor and outdoor spaces dedicated for caring for a small number of dogs with the highest amount of personal attention. Noah’s home is on the property and right across the driveway from the “Guest House” where the dogs stay. Noah will be the only person entering the kennel space and handling the dogs and so you can be sure they will receive thoughtful care and be safe. In addition to a dedicated building for housing dogs, which is climate controlled and secure, there is a large converted dairy barn for indoor exercise. The outdoor spaces of the property include multiple big grass lawns and a 3.5 acre wildflower meadow with a walking path.

Boarding includes daily meals, exercise, and enrichment, as well as regular text and photo updates. If your dog has trained with Noah previously and you would would be interested in refresher training that is an additional $10/dog/day for a daily training session and a lesson at pickup.

For new clients a pre-boarding visit to the property is required so that you can become familiar and comfortable with the space and can discuss details of your dogs care with Noah ahead of time. This ensures that your dog will receive care that is consistent with what they get at home, and makes the drop-off process much easier.

A deposit of $200 is required at least a week in advance for any stay over 3 days, and any stay over 10 days gets 10% off the cost of boarding.

One Dog $85/day | Two Dogs $150/day | Three Dogs $195/day
