Your dog doesn't live in a training bubble.
It’s one thing for your dog to understand at home.
It’s another to stay connected when there’s movement, noise, other dogs,
and unpredictability.
That’s where most training breaks down.
Take the foundation you've built and bring it into everyday life.
We don’t just expose—we guide.
Using the same Rooted & Resilient Method:
-
We support regulation under pressure
-
Maintain connection in changing environments
-
Help your dog think instead of react
-
We adjust distance, pace, and complexity so your dog can succeed—not shut down.
How we work
What you'll build
This is where confidence and resilience grow.
Through Summit, you and your dog will develop:
-
Stronger focus and connection outside the home
-
Better recovery from stress or stimulation
-
Increased confidence in new or challenging environments
-
More consistency in real-life situations
Where it all comes together.
This is where we build real-world reliability.
Summit is designed to take the foundational skills developed in Trailhead and apply them in the environments where they matter most.
-
Parks
-
Downtown environments
-
Public spaces (patios, breweries, etc.)
-
On trail
-
Real-life situations
Summit
Who is this for
This is for you if...
-
You’ve built a foundation and want it to hold in the real world
-
Your dog struggles with distractions, environments, or stimulation
-
You want your dog to move through life with more confidence and ease
This is how change becomes lasting.
Summit isn’t about perfection.
It’s about helping your dog learn they can handle the world—and stay connected to you in it.
Real-world confidence isn’t built all at once.
Summit is structured as a 6 week progression, giving your dog the time to adjust, process, and succeed in new environments without becoming overwhelmed.
We move at a pace your dog can handle—building exposure, resilience, and consistency step by step.
Because lasting change comes from doing it right, not doing it fast.
This is where your training becomes real.
Why clients choose this approach
Summit builds on the foundation created in Trailhead.
This stage is about applying those skills in real environments—where distractions, movement, and unpredictability exist.
That requires guidance, structure, and progression—not one-off sessions.
You’ll have support throughout the program, including:
-
The ability to reach out with questions as things come up
-
Video review and feedback to help refine what you’re working on
-
Guidance to keep you moving forward between sessions

Note: Pricing may be adjusted for sessions outside of our 30 mile radius.
Making sure it's the right fit
Summit is designed for dogs who already have a foundation in place.
If you’re new to Wild Hearts K9, we begin with an assessment to ensure your dog is ready for this level of work.
If not, we’ll start where your dog actually needs support—so you can build something that holds, not something that falls apart under pressure.
