All of our training programs are REWARDS-BASED & FEAR FREE! We believe the best way to build a loving bond between you and your doggie is by encouraging and rewarding the behaviors you want to see. We don't condone the use of adverse stimuli such as shock collars, prong / pinch collars, scolding, or other actions that build compliance through fear.
Whether you doggie is puppy new to this world and is just learning to explore, a wayward teen, or a shy soul that needs to build confidence in their world - we have the ability to help you pet learn the skills to live the BEST LIFE!
Some of the most common goals we hear from our clients are:
We get many other requests as well and we ALWAYS love a good challenge! If you have something specific you want to work on, we can design a custom training program specific to you and your doggie!
Our Day Training programs give doggies the opportunity to learn important skills and get additional mental stimulation during their daycare stays. Each full program includes 10 sessions, with the final session being a transfer session with the pet parent, so that you can be fully comfortable with keeping up with training at home.

Our On-Site, one on one, training is an appointment based program where you drop off you dog at an agreed upon time and relax while we do the work!

Cost, Requirements, and Details:
Our In-Home Private Training is perfect for dogs who may need to start in an environment that’s a little quieter than the busy daycare setting. Your dog can start learning in the comfort of your own home, and you’ll also get to work more directly with the trainer! There’s also the added benefit of potentially being able to progress to practicing on walks in the neighborhood or in other environments, so that your dog can learn to apply their new knowledge to situations in the real world. There may be a phone consultation prior to the first session so that the trainer can gather the information needed to get you and your pup all set for success.
