Specialized Programs: custom-designed for your dog’s goals

Some dogs are meant to do more than sit and stay. Fully customized programs — every one begins with a thorough assessment by Coach Francis.

Public environments

Public Access Training

Prepares your dog to move through the world with you — malls, streets, events, crowded spaces — without losing composure.

  • Boarding School: focus, impulse control, and social confidence built at The Dog Ranch, with real-world exposure from the start
  • In-Home: weekly sessions at home and on location, building your ability to handle your dog in any environment

Assistance roles

Service Dog Training

Develops dogs for specific assistance roles — supporting a person with a disability, assisting in therapeutic settings, or performing specialized tasks with precision and reliability.

  • Boarding School: intensive training in a distraction-rich, structured environment
  • In-Home: weekly training alongside the person the dog will assist, integrated into real routines

For nannies and drivers

Dog Safe Training

Your household staff spend more time with your dog than most people realize — yet most have never been taught how to do any of it safely. They learn to read body language, handle the dog confidently, set boundaries, and respond correctly before situations become incidents.

This isn't just about the dog. It's about protecting everyone in your home — especially the kids.

Home management

Dog Safe Home

A well-trained dog still needs a well-managed home. Built around your specific living situation, we map how your dog moves through your home, what triggers exist, and what protocols make daily life safer and less stressful.

Ideal for families with young children, multiple dogs, or dogs fresh out of a boarding program. Follow-ups available via Google Meet.

Other specialized programs are designed case-by-case. Every dog's program is different because every dog's needs are different.
