WHAT VACCINATIONS?

Please note that we require a "Vet permission slip" to attend. This does not mean that your puppy must have completed his entire vaccination series to attend. It does mean that your vet has seen your pup recently and feels he is adequately protected to attend a class in a disinfected environment with other vaccinated puppies. More info.

Miss a Class? Need some one-on-one help with your lessons?
Schedule a Catch-up Session

If your child's soccer game or unexpected guest caused you to miss a class, you may make up on another class in the corresponding week. Or if that isn't possible for your schedule, we offer 1/2 hour private catch-up sessions.

Struggling with a particular training challenge and need some extra personal assistance? Was your dog so hyper or distracted in class this week that your understanding of the lesson was lost and you'd like some concentrated help with your dog?
Would you like some private tutoring?
Email!!


Would you like an experienced trainer to work with your dog?
Schedule a Jumpstart Session

We train your dog at our training studio for you while you observe. As your dog progresses, we coach you on maintaining his performance. Your dog benefits by learning from a skilled and experienced dog trainer. Your dog is spared the pitfalls of you learning to be a dog trainer while at the same time trying to teach your dog. Email!!

Dogs should be pre-enrolled or currently attending a class session.
$30 per half hour. 24-hr cancellation required.
Sessions are often scheduled back-to-back so don't be late!


Would you like an experienced trainer to come to your house to work with your dog?
Day Training

Let us do the hard work for you! We will train your dog in your own home and neighborhood while you are at work or play, whether it’s some basic manners or a serious behavior problem.

You do not have to be present for these sessions! At the end of each week of training, we will schedule an owner transfer session. An owner transfer session is where we teach you the skills to attain the same results we have achieved during the week.

  • Day Training programs are customized for each individual dog/owner situation.
  • Though the program is designed for the trainer to do the a large amount of the work, the owner is required to follow management instructions and practice some training exercises during the week.

Coaching

Let us teach you how to efficiently and effectively train your dog. We will meet with you once a week and help you develop the skills needed to change your dog’s behavior. Coaching is recommended for those dog owners who have the time and ability to work with their dogs throughout the week. Coaching works best for dogs in need of basic manners or mild behavioral problems, but the owners are not interested in attending a group class.



For more intensive behavior concerns: barking, biting, housetraining, destructiveness, etc, we also offer private
Behavior Consultations
in your home.
