In every program
We are not a high-volume, cookie-cutter training facility. Every dog receives a fully customized program, handled personally by Seth, in his home, with only a limited number of dogs at a time.
How a stay works
A direct call with Seth. He listens, finds the root cause, and recommends the right program. No cost, no obligation.
Bring your dog to Cypress, or add the $250 transportation service and Seth’s team collects your dog from home.
Not a kennel. Your dog lives and stays in Seth’s home and trains in everyday environments, on a program customized to them.
Professional photo and video updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so you see the progress as it happens.
Public places, distractions, other dogs and people. Calm, neutral behavior is built where life actually happens.
Seth shows you exactly how to maintain and build on the results at home. Then follow-up lessons and lifetime support.
Families
“It’s rare to find trainers who combine great communication, real results, and genuine care. Seth and Flavia check every box.”
“Olive spent two weeks there and learned so much. Seth gave her a strong foundation that we can continue building on at home.”
“If you want a trainer who educates you as well as your dog, look no further.”
Questions
In Seth’s home in Cypress, not a warehouse or kennel. That in-home environment is the point: real-world training in everyday settings, so the results transfer to your home.
Seth Purdom, personally. Over 16 years of hands-on experience and more than 900 dogs trained. Best Dog University keeps a limited number of dogs at a time so every program stays customized.
Yes. Professional photo and video updates go out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so you see the progress as it happens.
A go-home session where you’re shown exactly how to maintain and build on the results. After that, follow-up lessons and lifetime support. Platinum includes unlimited private lessons; VIP includes unlimited in-home lessons.
Yes. The $250 transportation service picks your dog up from home, returns them when the program is complete, and includes the first lesson in your home. Transport home is already included in the VIP program.
The 1-Week Silver Foundation Program is a short-term introduction focused on basic structure and foundational obedience. Seth will tell you on the free call if it’s the right fit, or if your dog needs the time and repetition of a longer program.
Gold (2 weeks) builds a strong foundation: leash manners, sit/stay, place/stay, door boundaries and better impulse control. Platinum (3 weeks) adds down/stay, the structured heel, field trips into public places and behavior modification for reactivity or aggression, plus unlimited private lessons afterwards. If the problem shows up around other dogs, people or distractions, Platinum is the answer.
A balanced approach: clear communication, rewards for the behavior we want, and fair, consistent boundaries for the behavior we don’t. Every dog gets a customized plan. The VIP program includes a Mini-Educator e-collar for reliable off-leash communication; Seth explains exactly how tools are introduced and used on your free call.
Your dog’s regular food (enough for the stay, plus a little extra), any medications with instructions, current vaccination records, and a collar with ID. Seth will confirm the full list and answer anything specific to your dog when you book.
Not if you follow through. The go-home session shows you exactly how to keep the structure, and the follow-up lessons make sure it sticks. With consistency the results don’t fade, they keep improving.
Free phone assessment
The free phone assessment exists so you don’t have to guess. Seth will tell you plainly what your dog needs, including when the shorter option is the right one.
