At Primal Evolution K9, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter training.

Each program is designed to meet you and your dog where you’re at—whether you need a complete reset, hands-on coaching, or just a little fine-tuning.

We offer buy-now-pay-later through stripe for all our programs.

Board & Train

Fast-track results while we do the heavy lifting.

Your dog stays with us for an immersive training experience that builds new habits, solid obedience and off-leash reliability. You’ll receive regular updates, and when it’s time to go home, we’ll guide you step-by-step to keep the progress going.

Best for:

  • Busy owners with limited time for daily reps

  • Dogs with reactivity, manners issues or behavior challenges

  • Owners seeking reliable off-leash control

  • The 2-Week Puppy Board and Train Program (12 weeks to 30 weeks old) is designed to establish a strong foundation of essential obedience and manners for your puppy. Training will focus on introducing and reinforcing the following commands: “Come,” “Sit,” “Place,” “Loose Leash Walking,” and “Down.”

    Your puppy will also receive exposure to a variety of environments to promote confidence and adaptability. During the program, your puppy will begin to associate a verbal “No” as a marker for unwanted behavior.

    Additionally, potty training, house manners, impulse control, and crate training will be introduced and encouraged throughout the program; however, these behaviors are not guaranteed as each puppy learns at an individual pace.

    Total Price: $2200

  • Puppy/Adult Hybrid Program (2-Week Puppy Board & Train, 2-Week Adult Board & Train) as described below.

    The Hybrid Program is a two-part training package designed to build a solid foundation during puppyhood and continue developing obedience and reliability into adulthood.

    Part 1 – Puppy Foundation (Ages 12 to 20 Weeks) This portion of the program focuses on introducing and reinforcing foundational obedience, including “Come,” “Sit,” “Loose Leash Walking,” and “Down.” Training will also include exposure to a variety of environments to promote confidence, engagement, and adaptability.

    Part 2 – Two-Week Adult Program (Ages 6 Months and Older) This phase advances obedience training, focus, and communication while reinforcing the skills learned during the Puppy Foundation stage. Training may include structured outings and environmental exposure.

    Please note that off-leash reliability and environmental neutrality are not guaranteed, as progress depends on the individual dog’s temperament, drive, and consistency of continued practice at home.

    Total Price: $3800

  • 1-Week Board & Train Program as described below.

    The 1-Week Board and Train Program is designed for well-adjusted dogs who need basic leash manners or a refresher on existing obedience skills. This program is intended for dogs who already have a solid foundation and simply need reinforcement or fine-tuning.

    This program is not suitable for dogs with behavioral issues, anxiety, or reactivity. All dogs must be fully crate trained prior to enrollment.

HAPPY CLIENTS

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Sarah Draycott to train my beagle puppy, Shiloh, all the way up to service dog level.

Beagles can be a challenging breed to train, but Sarah guided us through some of the toughest puppy stages with patience, understanding, and genuine care. What stood out most was her willingness to go above and beyond. If I was struggling, she never hesitated to help.

Whether it was loaning me training equipment, bringing extra treats, answering calls/texts, or even staying after a session to address my concerns. Shiloh absolutely loved his training time with her, and it was clear how much love and care she put into every interaction. Sarah was not only an incredible trainer for my dog but also a great support for me as an owner. Even if Shiloh wasn’t feeling well, I could always count on a quick and thoughtful response from her.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Sarah and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, compassionate, and skilled trainer. Thank you, Sarah, for everything you’ve done for us
