Training Services
Training services are available for puppies, adolescent dogs, and adult dogs. We offer training for dogs with little or no prior training as well as adult dogs in need of a "refresher" course.
The Basics: training addresses the basic cues including: focus, sit, down, stay, come, walk nice on leash, and Leave it!
Behavior Modification: session(s) address behavior issues including: jumping up, housetraining, chewing, digging, barking and counter-surfing.
In Home Training Services
The content of the training course is determined by the goals and training needs specific to you and your dog. Learning takes place in your dog's comfort zone and you and your dog set the pace of the lessons. Our in home service allows flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy lifestyle.
