Our Puppy Training program is designed to give your newest furry family member the best possible start in life. This program focuses on early socialization, basic manners, and prevention of common puppy issues such as nipping, chewing, and housebreaking. We help puppies (8 weeks to 6 months old) build confidence and learn essential commands like "sit," "stay," "come," and "leave it." Our trainers also offer guidance on crate training, leash walking, and addressing any individual concerns you might have. We understand the importance of involving both the owner and the dog in the training process and provide clear breakdowns and side-by-side teaching when necessary. Enroll in our Puppy Training course and set your pup on the path to becoming a well-behaved, well-adjusted adult dog.

Our Basic Obedience Training program is designed for dogs aged 6 months and older, laying the foundation for a strong, lifelong bond between you and your canine companion. This course covers essential obedience commands such as "sit," "down," "stay," "come," "heel," and "leave it." We also address common behavioral issues like jumping, excessive barking, and pulling on the leash. Utilizing a balanced training approach, we combine positive reinforcement techniques with the other 3 quadrants to help your dog understand you. We value involving both the owner and the dog in the training process, offering clear instruction and guidance to ensure continued success at home. By the end of this course, you and your dog will have established a strong bond, clear communication and a solid understanding of each other's expectations.

Take your dog's skills to the next level with our Advanced Obedience Training program. This course is tailored for dogs who have successfully completed our Basic Obedience Training or have equivalent skills. In this program, we reinforce and refine the basic commands while introducing more advanced skills such as off-leash control, long-distance recalls, and advanced stays with distractions. Our balanced training approach combines praise and rewards for positive behavior with appropriate corrections for undesirable actions. We also offer customized training for specific tasks or behaviors you'd like your dog to master, such as reliable off-leash walking, improving focus in distracting environments, and strengthening impulse control. We believe in the importance of including both the owner and the dog in the training process and provide the necessary support and instruction to ensure lasting success. With our Advanced Obedience Training, you'll enjoy a deepened bond with your dog and the satisfaction of knowing they're well-prepared for any situation life may bring.
