dog TRAINING PROGRAMS   

Before you bring home a new dog or puppy, be sure it fits your personality and lifestyle. Too many times, owners get hung up on a specific breed or puppy and bring it home without doing the proper research on the breed’s general requirements, background, temperament and energy levels. Let us help you select the right dog for your lifestyle.

This is usually a major source of frustration for new puppy owners. Let us take all the frustration out of this job for you. One session is all it takes to understand and implement a winning strategy to successfully housebreaking your new puppy.

90% of all behavior problems can be solved through these quick consultations. Whether your dog has mild or severe issues, we can help you turn things around immediately and put you and your dog in a position to control or eliminate the behavior altogether. These are private, one on one, hourly training sessions for pet owners having issues in only a few areas. We tailor these sessions to the specific issues you are having and target them in your dog's environment.

This course is for basic control of your dog in and around the house. Your dog will do the following: sit on one command, down on one command, come when called, place (extended down stay on thier designated bed), stay (in a sit or down position) until released, heel at your side during walks while sitting automatically when you halt, and no jumping up on furniture. We also teach your dog how to properly greet people without jumping up and how to go through doors and gates under control. Obedience training gives you something to praise your dog for rather than constantly correcting and scolding the dog. Training re-inforces positive communication. Dogs aged 4 months & up. Must have up-to-date rabies vaccination.

This course consists of our Basic Obedience Training and Owner Education Course as well as total off leash control.

This is for clients who want that extra measure of control at the beach, hiking, dog parks, swimming, etc. without having to worry about lines and leashes. Dogs aged 8 months and up. Must have up-to-date rabies vaccination.

This consultation is by far our most popular and beneficial. The information covered in this course is the absolute cornerstone to achieving a positive and well balanced relationship with your dog.
