We address behavioral obstacles, teach you how they originated, and provide you with many practical applications on how to overcome them, turning them from potential negative experiences into positive opportunities.
Group Class
What is it? Group class is a good way to work around a controlled distraction environment. This is excellent as a support system to follow up private or day training programs.
How does it work? Many dog training companies pack numerous handler/dog teams in one class with one instructor. All of our classes have limited enrollment. By limiting our class size, our clients get the one-to-one attention they deserve and can achieve maximum results. We have implemented a rolling enrollment for most of our classes. This means that new students can join at any time. We find that this method works well for practicing around distraction in a controlled environment and allows for life to happen where students do not have to worry about making up a class.
What Does Standard Group Class Cost?
Group class: 4 -6 students: $55 drop-in rate ; 4-pack $200
Specialty Group Class: 2 to 4 students – 1 Trainer $65 drop-in rate; 4-pack $250

Our core mission is to provide a place where dogs go to advance both mentally and physically. This is not a “daycare” where dogs are dropped off and left to their own devices, but a place that offers dogs activites through mental games, manners maintance, agility & fitness exercises all with social interaction!
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND: We are trained in animal behavior and reading canine body language to help the dogs learn to play appropriately and build their communication skills.

Puppies under 6 months: ALL breeds welcome! We feel it is important to give everyone a strong foundation in this important time.
Dogs (over 6 months): Small dogs (under 35lb) are welcome. Dogs must be spayed or neutered to participate in off-leash interactions. Some dogs may not be ready for this environment and because we are looking out for your dog’s best interest we will need to do an evaluation first.
Dogs over 35 lbs: We know that there are always exceptions to every rule and the 35 lb rule is no exception. If you feel that your dog prefers small dogs over big ones then give us a call and we can set up an evaluation for your fur baby too! We have limited capacity for larger dogs so space fills quickly!

Private Lessons at our place or yours
Private lessons allow you a lot of versatility. You pick the topics that are important to you!
How does it work? These sessions are designed as a 50/50 partnership between the trainer and the owner (handler). A professional trainer works with you on the goals that you have set up ahead of time. It is their role to find out what works for you and your dog’s learning style and then have you duplicate the session while the trainer is still there to coach you through it. We will help build your skills so you are comfortable enough to work on your own (your homework). Then it’s up to YOU to practice and advance your dog until your next session!

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me, they are the role model for being alive.
