Learn How to Train Your Dog!

For owners who want to be involved in their dog's initial learning process, we have a Lesson Program to fit your needs. Our Lesson Programs supply options for the most sought after solutions!

Each one hour lesson you attend with your dog provides one-on-one attention to assure your mastery of the material. Continue your work at home with daily practice and be amazed at how quickly your dog understands what you ask of him.

All lessons come with email homework to aid you in remembering material as you continue practice at home.

All owners and dogs come in with different needs and lifestyles. Tell us what your goals are or what your dog struggles with and we will build a program suited to your dog.

Puppy Training

Did you just bring home a puppy? Maybe you've had your puppy for a little while and you just don't know how to start his training. You might have encountered a few problems such as biting/mouthing or difficulty house-training. Wherever you are at with your puppy's training, house-training, or general manners, we can help! Get your puppy off to the right start with Puppy Training that will begin his understanding of how to listen to you, remain calm during exciting situations, and beginner obedience skills. It's never too early to start working with your new best friend.

Programs are custom built to suit your needs and reach your specific goals. Training occurs in 30-45 minute private sessions to accommodate the lower endurance of puppies. Training can be held in your home (required if puppies are not fully vaccinated) or at our training building. Puppy Training is only offered to puppies 5 months of age and under.

Dog Training

Are you ready to improve your relationship with your dog? Our training can help change your dog from a headache (whether he's just a dull throb or a full-blown migraine) into a delightful companion! Using a combination of obedience training and lifestyle changes your dog learns to listen under distracting situations and remain calm during exciting events. Your dog can gain self-control which reduces and extinguishes bad behaviors such as not listening or jumping. If you're tired of being frustrated by your dog and you're ready for a change, call today so we can help!

Programs are custom built to suit your needs and reach your specific goals. Private Lessons occur in hour long sessions either in your home or at our training building. Dogs must be over 5 months of age and fully vaccinated to participate in private training.
