Training Programs

In-Board Training

What started out as an intensive program for problem dogs, our In-Board Training Program has become the most successful and popular training option for clients with any pup. When you are hanging out with your dog, every interaction is a learning interaction, and sometimes owners are accidentally teaching behaviors that they don’t particularly appreciate. Our in-board program provides consistency when owners can not. Visit our In-Board Training Page for more details! Cost of In-Board is $95/day or $2250 for our Complete Obedience Package.

Please note – our Complete Obedience In-Board Program is generally booked 4-6 months in advance. It never hurts to see if we have had something open up sooner, but plan ahead to take advantage of this sought after training opportunity.

Private Sessions

Private sessions are geared to fit into everyone’s schedule and be very affordable. Sessions conducted at our facility cost just $55/hour. In-home or on location sessions are also available at occasional times to meet our client’s needs. They begin at $70/hour with total cost depending on travel distance.

Private sessions are offered for obedience, problem behavior modification, tracking, protection and other specialty areas. Please visit the Private Sessions Page for more detailed information.

Group Classes

Our group classes are taught in conjunction with Tractor Supply Company in Cookeville, TN. Whether you are raising the perfect puppy, in need of good manners, looking to spend some quality time with your four-legged family OR training for therapy dog certification – we have a class for you. Check out our Group Class page for descriptions and start dates of our large variety of fun classes! Cost of classes are $130/7 week session.

Personal or Sport Protection Training

All protection training is done in private sessions scheduled with a trainer. Please visit the Private Sessions Page for more detailed information. 

Agility Training

Middle Tennessee is so fortunate to have the recent transplant of Karissa Solberg from Wisconsin. Offering group classes and private sessions, Agility Acres is your best resource for top notch agility training. Thunderhawk Canine does not offer agility training any longer. You can visit Agility Acres Facebook page or their website for more information.
