Dog training solves problems, prevents problems before they arise and strengthens the bond between
you and your best friend. In the group classes we focus on practical behaviors using reward based training.
Our classes practice “real life” training so that your dog understands what you expect as you both go about
your day to day life.
We believe that training and behavior modification should be safe, kind, enjoyable, positive and
successful for you and the dog you love.
Classes are limited to 8 dogs or less so everyone can have individual attention during class.
