Following the theories and techniques of positive trainers, we will help you understand how to develop your dog's reliability and compliance while building his confidence and trust in you as his human partner.

Statistics show that the number one reason dogs are surrendered by their owners to shelters or abandoned to the streets is due to behavior problems, and these problems are largely the result of lack of proper training. Please don't let this be your dog's fate. Reward your dog's devotion to you by investing in his happiness.

Contact us today and take the first steps in experiencing the joy of true partnership with your dog. Whether you're an aspiring competitor or a concerned pet owner, our training staff is ready to provide solutions.

We will cover basic crate and toilet training, grooming, and understanding the use of praise. We will discuss bad habits that your pup may acquire and show you how to correct this behavior.

Your pup will gain beneficial socialization experiences and behavior shaping in a positive environment with other healthy puppies, providing a strong basis for further training.

Advance training is available for those interested in furthering their dog's education or for those interested in pursuing the AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate or certification through Therapy Dog’s International, Inc. 

Private consultations for behavioral concerns are available either at the kennel or your home apon availability of our trainer.
