Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time dog owner, our classes and packages are geared to make it easy for you to train, care for, and socialize your dog. Each dog teaches us something new and we gear services to enhance that relationship from puppy-hood into their golden years.

What training option might be best for me?

Basic Obedience Group Classes

Basic obedience classes focus on understanding your dog’s learning process and teaching them basic cues with limited to moderate distractions. These classes are great building blocks to shaping good behavior. Group classes will increase their social skills while remaining leashed.
