Do you struggle with any of these issues?
Does your dog…
Pull you around?
Bark at dogs or people on walks?
Dig in the backyard?
Go through your trash can?
Jump on people?
Play keep away?
Growl when you come near their food or toy?
If so, you’re in the right place! We can help with any of these issues and much more! Our training methods are tailored to target your specific dog and their needs.
What makes us different?
We focus on owner training as much as dog training! What’s a dog that won’t listen to its owner when it comes home? We want to ensure your dog has lasting success and that starts with educating you as the owner!
Training the dog
First step in training is teaching a clear communication system to the dog. We have to have a way to clearly communicate with dogs what we want and don’t want from them. We will teach them obedience that works anywhere! Doesn’t matter where you go, whether it’s a busy park or grandma’s house, our system works!
Training the owner
Second step is training the owner. What’s the point of having a Ferrari if you don’t know how to drive? We will teach you everything the dog has learned and will teach you how to maintain it. We want to make you the trainer!
Maintenance training
Lastly, with our programs, you get lifetime support! We offer lessons when needed and pack walks for prior clients. Our pack walks are a great way to work on your obedience in a controlled environment!

What Do We Offer?
PUPPY PROGRAMS
Starting training early is crucial in creating a happy, confident adult dog. Did you know you can start training your puppy as early as 8 weeks old? You can and you SHOULD! Everything you do at that age will have a huge impact on the dog’s development, good or bad. Let us help both of you get started on the right paw!
OBEDIENCE BOARD & TRAIN
Our board and train packages focus on obedience both on and off leash, from inside the home to higher distraction areas. Your dog will stay with us for the duration of training and upon completion, we will train YOU. Lifetime support.
AGGRESSION
Our aggression rehab package is designed for dogs with aggression toward humans, dogs, cats, livestock, etc. In this package, your dog will be given the same level of obedience as our board and train in addition to rehabilitation work. Though we cannot guarantee to safely rehabilitate each and every dog, we will ensure that you have the control you need in order to live a more peaceful life with your dog.
