Thank you very much for giving us the tools to train Duke to be the best Husky ever, next to Persia of course 🙂 Thanks again.

The knowledge I got from training sessions proved to be invaluable as I learned how to better communicate with Abby. She then responded better to training and I was more motivated to continue due to the excellent response

Every family and every dog is different.  We customize our in-home dog training programs to fit our client’s needs.

We offer training for new puppies, house manners, basic through advanced training, canine anxiety, new baby preparation, tricks/games, and more!

We offer the same programs whether we are meeting in-person or online…the only difference is the modality.  Sessions can be completed all through our live online private sessions or we can also include in-person sessions at your home if you reside within our travel range…or we may be able to meet at another location if you are outside of our travel range.

Just let us know if you need help deciding which program is best for your dog.

Now just imagine your friends and family being amazed at how well behaved your dog is when they visit!  Not only do they listen around the house now, but they also listen in more distracting environments – like in public and when you have company over. 

They also don’t pull you down the street at all anymore – so you can now enjoy a nice leisurely walk with your dog.  What a switch, huh?

They come when they’re called, too.  No more chasing them around the yard when you’re late for work or having to physically make them get off the couch when you say. 

Your life will be so much more enjoyable with your dog when you have the freedom of them listening, even around distractions.

Not sure which program to choose?  No problem! We can help you decide which program is best for you and your dogs and we can customize a program to fit your needs!  

 

Don’t have your dog yet?  It’s actually best we start with a “before dog” consult to ensure you are prepared for your new friend’s arrival and off to a good start from day one.   A transition to a new home can be a very stressful time for a dog of any age, but we can help make it as peaceful as possible.
