We train dogs– no matter the breed, size, or history- using “real world” balanced training methods. Our specialties include stopping problem behavior, implementing basic structure, and off-leash training for family dogs. By using clear, effective communication, and building up the human-dog relationship, we are able to help dogs overcome unwanted behavioral issues such as pulling, jumping, growling, nipping, dog/cat/animal aggression, human aggression, leash reactivity, resource guarding, stranger reactivity, fear issues, separation anxiety, running away, stealing food, and general disregard for their handler.
Our methods allow us to build a dog’s trust, confidence, impulse control, attention span, and respect for their handler. We work closely with owners to ensure each household has the information and resources they need to stay on the road to success. By offering a variety of training services, including 1-on-1 sessions, classes, structured daycare, and group maintenance events, we make it easy for owners to get the necessary help for their dog, and to develop fair leadership skills that allow them to form a long-lasting healthy relationship.
Whether you want your puppy to start off on the right foot, or you’re at your wits’ end and are seeking a major transformation within your dog – we can help you! A well-trained dog is a happy dog, because there is no confusion when they understand what is expected of them and what is not. Dogs ultimately gain freedom to enjoy the benefits of inclusion.
This is not just obedience training – this is lifestyle training! ❤
