Why Train?
Life With Dogs Made Easier...
At some point, someone in your household might leave a door ajar
or a gate unlatched.  Imagine your relief if, instead of bolting out to the street, into the path of an oncoming car, your dog responded instantly to your request to "Wait!" at the door, or turn back and "Come!"
Training can be the difference between life and death!

Puppy Training
(For puppies age 11-17 weeks)

Hands feel like pincushions?  Pup got the zoomies every afternoon?  Do you find yourself saying, "How do I get this puppy to stop___?"  Let us help you use low risk, easy to learn training that can transform your piranha pup into a well behaved companion.

Our puppy classes focus on:
House Training - Socialization - Puppy Nipping & Chewing

Body Handling - Object Exchange (Give it Back Nicely)       

Puppy Socialization
Vaccinations and Socialization

Puppy Nipping Guide

 

  No Dog is Too Old to Learn

We use low risk training techniques that tell your dog what behaviors you prefer him to do, instead of having to endlessly correct him, which is unpleasant for both of you.
After all, you got a dog so you could enjoy each others company, right?
Training that involves punishment is high risk, often fails over time, and can lead to unintended consequences, such as fear or aggression toward people or other dogs.
All dogs learn in the same way, so low risk training is appropriate for all sizes, ages, and breeds of dogs.  If your dog could choose, would he choose education or correction?

Skills We Teach in Puppy and Adult Dog Basic Classes:
Sit - Down - Down on Verbal Cue -  Begin Stay - Begin Come When Called - Leave It - Begin Polite Leash Walking Stand for Examination or Petting - Relinquish Objects Nicely - Love the Groomer - Love the Vet - Parlor Tricks

Problem Behavior

We offer dog behavior consultations for common problems.  And, our specialty classes, such as Rocket Recall and Polite Leash Walking take your dog's skills to a whole new level.

Jumping Up - Pulling on Leash - Fear/Anxiety/Aggression  Resource/Food Guarding/Failure to Come When Called
