Services

In Home Private Lesson

This program is perfect for you to take credit for your dog’s success! Private lessons are done in the comfort of your home to work on everyday issues. We work together to learn the tools and techniques needed to best train your dog. Each week we work on something new to build our foundation. Private lessons can be basic obedience or behavioral issues.

*This program is recommended for families with multiple dogs and dogs that have severe aggressive behavior.

Perfect for puppies

This program is for any dog that is 6 months or younger. It is important to start socializing and bringing your dog around a variety of different environments to prepare them for all situations. At this age, how we handle our dog will influence how our dog will respond to new places, people and dogs in the future. We also focus on crate/potty training and unwanted behaviors such as chewing, biting, barking, jumping and pulling on leash. It is never too soon to start training with your puppy!

Board & Train

We’ll do the work for you! This is perfect for families on the go and busy lifestyles. With full day training we will build a solid foundation for you. Board and train includes an in-home private lesson upon return to teach our new fundamentals. Advanced training available for extended board and trains.

24 Hour overnight care

Your dog will be treated like a King or Queen in a home atmosphere with their own personal private bedroom to lounge in when they need a nap or retire for the evening (only crated overnight). During the day it’s outside for fun-running, jumping and socializing with their new friends.

*Additional Training available upon request. It’s a perfect time to continue our training routine; reinforce work already accomplished; or begin a training program.
