There is more than one good way to build a dog. Choose the route that matches how involved you want to be, how much daily repetition your dog needs, and where you want the work to happen.
Start with the way you want to work. Once you choose a path, you can see the programs, schedule and pricing that belong to that type of training.
Your dog stays with One Unit Canine for concentrated daily training. Best when you want the trainer doing the heavy repetition before transferring the system back to you.
You keep the dog and learn the system yourself. Best when you want hands-on coaching and can practice between sessions at home and in daily life.
Train around dogs, people, movement and waiting. Best for teams that have a usable foundation and need to make the work hold up around real-world distractions.
Tell us the dog’s age, breed, goals and any bite or aggression history. We’ll point you toward the training route that makes the most sense.
The adult standard is progressive. OUC 1 establishes the adult foundation, OUC 2 proves stronger community reliability, and OUC 3 combines the complete working standard. Passing OUC 3 is the point where the dog has Become One Unit.
The first complete adult benchmark: measurable obedience, public control, vehicle manners, retrieval and introductory search work.
The dog now has to carry the work farther from the training environment and through stronger community distraction.
The final adult designation combines public reliability, useful working behaviors and the Person / Vehicle / Home system into one complete performance.
OUC 1, OUC 2 and OUC 3 are separate measurable benchmarks. A dog working toward the next level keeps its last earned designation until the next evaluation is passed. The filmed evaluation provides the proof behind each level.

There are two different ways to board at One Unit Canine. Standard Boarding keeps your dog indoors in a standard wire crate between care periods and includes four to five structured walks/outings each day. Outdoor Kennel Boarding is a separate, lower-cost option using an individual 5 × 10 outdoor kennel for owners who primarily want safe basic care and do not want the structured walking program.
This is the full structured-care boarding option. Your dog rests indoors in a standard wire crate between care periods and comes out four to five times each day for structured walks/outings, potty needs, movement and individual handling. The 5 × 10 outdoor kennel is not part of Standard Boarding.

Secure indoor standard wire-crate rest, feeding and fresh water, four to five structured walks/outings each day, potty care, individual handling, and the practical leash, door and kennel manners that naturally happen during daily care. Formal training is not automatically included.
This is a different boarding setup, not Standard Boarding without a few walks. Your dog is housed in an individual 5 × 10 outdoor kennel and receives basic boarding care: food, water, kennel upkeep, welfare checks and necessary handling. Structured walks/outings are not included.

A 25% reservation deposit locks the stay; the remaining balance is due at check-in. Rabies, Bordetella and DHPP are required. Holiday/peak stays may carry the current holiday premium.
These are appointment windows, not walk-in business hours. Every pickup and drop-off receives a scheduled time.
Unexpected traffic happens. Notify One Unit Canine if you are running late. The grace period is for previously scheduled appointments.
If a boarding dog is not picked up by the final cutoff, the dog remains until the next available appointment window and the applicable additional boarding charge applies.

Group class adds dogs, people, movement, waiting, noise and pressure while you learn how to keep your dog connected to you. This is training around other teams—not dog-to-dog play.
Use your class pack to keep building handler skill and proof the work around controlled distractions. Teams move levels when the current work is reliable—not simply because four classes passed.
$25 per scheduled class.
When space and class requirements allow.
Your dog works around other teams while you learn leash handling, markers, timing, position, recalls, heeling and calm waiting. The goal is controlled work around distraction—not social free-for-all.
Training reward food is provided during class at no additional charge. Bring your dog, leash, training equipment and willingness to work.
Move up when: the dog responds to its name, can Sit and Down with minimal help, and understands basic loose-leash movement with the owner.
Move up when: the dog can maintain Sit / Down with the owner at the end of a 6-foot leash under added distraction and can recall from at least 6 feet.
Move up when: the dog can maintain Sit / Down with the owner across the room, recall across the room into a Sit, and heel through an about turn and halt.
Doghouse Test: the final Saturday of the month may include the heel routine, in-motion exercises and recall to front. Qualifying graduates receive a next-step recommendation.

One Unit Canine combines professional dog training with behavior modification to build dependable obedience, better household behavior, stronger handling and real-world control — so the dog works in everyday life, not just during a training session.
Learn as a team. Move as a team. Become One Unit.
What you are really buying
The goal is not a dog that looks trained for a video. The goal is a dog you can live with, handle, redirect and trust more in the situations that matter to your family.
We build a language your dog can actually understand, so Sit, Place, Here, Heel and everyday boundaries mean something instead of becoming background noise.
A dog that only listens in the living room is not finished. We add movement, distance, distractions and real environments until the dog learns how to make better choices when life gets busy.
You learn how to handle, correct, reward, redirect and settle your dog so the results do not disappear the moment the trainer hands you the leash.

Sake used to panic around loud distractions and try to get away. After training, Katrice said she was extremely happy with the foundation One Unit Canine laid down and excited to keep building on her progress.

Maverick came home listening to commands and staying in Place even while the family’s other dog wanted to play. Salon also praised the owner education and long-term value of the training.
Salon Ray · Atlanta, GAClient Review
Ronan entered his first group class highly reactive around other dogs. By the end of class he was wagging his tail, and Maggie was looking forward to continuing the work.
Maggie Alford · Columbus, GAClient ReviewTraining photos from handoffs, family life, confidence work and public environments.
The goal is a smooth handoff: a dog that leaves training ready to live more cleanly inside the home.
Clear handling, calm structure and more discipline around the dog from the very beginning.
The finished product should fit real family life — not just look good during a training session.
Training should help real people live more comfortably, confidently and safely with their dog.
Established 2020 by an Army veteran father with 15 years of experience — and his ugly ahh sons. LOL. Looooooove Yooooooou.
The One Unit method
Clear expectations, communication and repetitions that create understanding instead of guessing.
Add distance, duration, distractions and environments as the dog becomes ready for more responsibility.
Your coaching matters because the dog needs the same clarity after the training comes home.
One Unit policies
These policies keep the training system clear for clients and keep One Unit consistent about what is earned, what is included and when a dog is considered finished.
A behavior is not considered finished because the dog performed it once. The Home Life Standard increases duration, distance, distraction and environmental difficulty as the dog progresses.
When transportation is included with a training package, it covers One Unit Canine’s standard local service area. Travel outside the standard service area may require an additional transportation fee.
Focus, Core and Foundation use a $250 lock-in deposit credited toward the package total. Payment schedules for longer programs are reviewed before the start date.
A 25% boarding deposit locks the reservation. Standard boarding is $40 small, $45 medium and $50 large. Regular drop-off and pick-up are 4:00–6:00 PM; published early and off-window fees apply when requested.
Residential training and boarding require current vaccination records before check-in, including Rabies, Bordetella and DHPP as appropriate for the dog’s age and veterinary schedule.
Longer residential programs include progress review and owner communication. Private lesson changes require at least 24 hours’ notice.

Measurable sit, down, Place, stay, recall and loose-leash behavior.
Vehicle, thresholds, public manners, crate routine and handling.
30-ft retrieval plus a simple search standard that proves hunt and persistence.

Private lessons are for owners who want hands-on instruction, need help maintaining Board & Train results, or want the training brought into the home.
Both packages give you four one-on-one sessions. Facility coaching keeps the price lower. At-home coaching adds travel and lets us work where the behavior actually lives.

Board & Train clients receive an Owner Transfer at pickup. Follow-up private lessons are not buried in the residential price; you add them only when you want more coaching.

Two clear paths. The young-dog standard proves the foundation. The adult OUC levels build from reliable control into a complete working companion.
Adult dogs progress through three published OUC levels. Each level raises the required control, duration, distance, distraction and real-world working performance.
Passed dogs will have an individual profile with earned AKC credentials, the highest OUC level completed and a filmed evaluation showing that dog perform the standard.

Your dog lives and trains with One Unit Canine while we build the work through daily repetition. Every program includes a clear Owner Transfer at pickup. Longer stays add more repetition, more behaviors and more real-world proofing.
Focus teaches communication. Core introduces the obedience system. Foundation develops reliability. Advanced Foundation proves the work in more of the real world.
These are not four names for the same service. Each program has a different job.
Teach the dog to pay attention and understand the training system.

Focus is the shortest introduction. It works best when the dog can settle enough to learn in a new environment.
Advanced Foundation gives the trainer the most time to settle the dog, build the behaviors, add real-world distractions and transfer a more complete system back to the owner.
Tell us the dog’s age, breed, goals and any bite or aggression history so we can point you toward the right service.
Advanced Foundation is the most complete One Unit Canine foundation program. The extra time lets the dog settle, learn the behaviors, repeat them and then carry the same rules into more realistic environments.
Build the behaviors. Add the distractions. Transfer the system back to the owner.
Develop Sit, Down, Place, Recall, structured walking, door manners, crate routines, vehicle routines and impulse control.
Add people, dogs, traffic, noise, movement, different surfaces and unfamiliar environments at a level the dog can handle productively.
Show the owner how the system works in their hands, including Doghouse Test handling work when appropriate for the dog.
Shorter programs can introduce and develop behaviors. Three weeks creates more room for repetition, recovery, environmental changes and proofing so the training has a better chance of surviving real life when the dog goes home.
Skills get practiced across more days instead of being introduced and immediately handed back.
The dog learns that the rules do not disappear when the location, people or distractions change.
The owner receives a more complete system to maintain rather than a long list of behaviors that only worked for the trainer.
Advanced Foundation includes the Owner Transfer. If you want more help once the dog is home, choose the continuation that fits how you want to train.

Power Play is not dog daycare and it is not group play. Your dog spends the day with One Unit Canine doing purposeful work chosen for the dog in front of us — exercise when the dog needs an outlet, focus work when the dog needs to think, confidence work when the dog needs to explore, and useful training when the dog needs better everyday behavior.
A Power Play dog is not simply placed in a yard with other dogs. The day is broken into purposeful activity, training, recovery and rest. What we do changes according to the dog.
If the dog needs a healthy physical outlet, we may throw a ball, work a retrieve, move through the field or use structured exercise. If the dog needs attention and self-control, we may work name response, engagement, leash skills, Place, Sit, Down, Recall, door manners or calm transitions. If the dog needs confidence, we can use new surfaces, objects, problem-solving and controlled environmental exposure.
The point is simple: the dog should go home having done something productive — physically, mentally, or both.

Three scheduled Power Play days in the same week. No separate $10 processing fee on each day.
