You can start your puppy off right with our Puppy Preschool classes that focus on using positive reward based training to teach basic commands, leverage play other puppies to socialize yours and apply time tested methods for how to stop certain behaviors that other trainers ignore.

During our Adult Dog Obedience course you will learn a “no nonsense” approach to train your dog in a balanced way without relying on treats or gimmicks. We will teach YOU a technique for how to show your dog direction with the leash and collar to teach obedience commands like heel, sit, stay, come, down, stay back & don’t touch using both verbal and hand commands. You will also learn “THE ART OF THE CORRECTION” so that your dog will be more consistent in responding to your commands and to allow you to stop unwanted behaviors. Our goal is that, through the training process, you will develop leadership and gain control so that you have a GREAT RELATIONSHIP with your dog based on mutual trust and understanding.
