Not sure which one fits? Find your fit in a few quick questions
Which option fits your dog?
A few quick questions. You see my pick right away, and I follow up with you myself.
Three steps to a dog you can trust.
Find your fit
A few quick questions about your dog, your time, and your goals. See which option works best for you.
Book a call to get a plan
40 minutes with me. We talk through what is going on at home, and I recommend the one option that fits, with the price.
Start training
We pick a start date. You get a simple plan to practice, and I coach you the whole way.
What owners can do now.
“Millie sat through her first hour long HOA meeting and was a perfect princess.”
“We took Reba to her first 4th of July party and she did amazingly well. She stayed on leash, we did all the sits and downs, and she laid down with treats on her paws in the middle of a group of people talking and holding food. Then she slept about four hours straight when we got home.”
“We tried off leash for the first time this weekend at Walnut Creek and Pickles did so great.”
Real dogs, out in real life.
Stores, patios, parks and busy sidewalks. Every one of these is a client dog.
Your dog is not broken. Your dog is doing what worked.
So we change what works. No shock collars, no prong collars, no fear.
Reward the right choice
Your dog learns that the choice you want is the one that pays. That is how trust gets built.
Practice where life happens
Your kitchen, your street, your neighborhood. Not just a quiet training room.
You learn it too
Every option coaches you, so the training keeps working after we are done.
A kinder way to train, built from real-world results.
Brady started New Direction after seeing too many good dogs handed harsh tools and too many owners told to dominate their best friend. Every program here runs on trust and reinforcement. No shock collars, no prong collars, no fear. The result is a confident dog and a relationship you can trust.
What owners ask before they book.
How much does dog training cost?+
The Dream Dog bundle is $2,700 for 12 lessons, a 2-week board and train, and 3 group adventures. A single private lesson is $150, 6 lessons are $720, and 12 lessons are $1,200. A 2-week board and train is $1,850, including at least 1 in-person lesson before the stay and 2 after, and service dog training is $7,500 for a 1-year program. The Inner Circle is $1 for 14 days, then $27 a month.
Why should I book a call before I buy?+
So you only pay for what your dog needs. Some dogs need less than their owners think. The call is free and there is no pressure.
Is the bundle worth it over lessons alone?+
If you want the head start, yes. You get the 2-week board and train, all 12 lessons, and 3 group adventures for $575 less than booking them apart. The group adventures are only in the bundle, normally $75 each.
Do you work with reactive or nervous dogs?+
Yes. Barking, lunging, and fear are some of the most common things I help with. The plan is steady and kind, and it moves at your dog's pace.
How fast will I see change?+
Many owners feel a real difference within two weeks. Lasting habits take longer, and they depend on the reps you put in. That is what the coaching keeps you on.
Where do you train?+
Round Rock, Austin, and nearby towns like Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Hutto, and Pflugerville. The Inner Circle works from anywhere.
Do you use shock or prong collars?+
Never. Every option here is reinforcement-based and science-backed. No fear, no pain, no intimidation.
Every option, every price, up front.
No surprises. Pick what fits, or find your fit and I will help you choose.
