Training

We encourage you to come to our view our classes before deciding what is the right type of training for you and your dog. Family is always welcome at classes, in fact we encourage everyone who is going to be involved in the training and handling to come in and see how it is being taught. Consistency is very important in teaching and training your family member properly.

One on One Dog Talks

Theses private lessons are tailored to the needs of each client and their dog. All dogs need their own recipe for thriving and we will help you create a program that solves problems and builds relationship with your dog based on what motivates him and how he thinks. Relationship is the key to success. Understanding your dogs mind will help you treat him more appropriately and fosters better communication. There is so much more to dog training than what is typically brought to a class setting. Private lessons are in depth talks with small pictures of hands on training.
