MANNERS AND MORE

We hear it often - "My dog isn't good enough to take ____ class." It is remarkable to see the transformation of the dogs and handlers from the beginning through the end of each class! Don't worry, or be intimidated at all! Our classes are very relaxed at every level and we are hands-on instructors. We are here to address your main issues and help achieve your goals. Our clients are pet dog owners (just like us) who enjoy their dogs. Please join us! Classes are fun and keep your dog engaged!

"Thank you, your classes are fantastic!
I've taken other training class with my dogs in the past but your classes were by far the best.
Other classes were all about the basic commands. Your classes included the commands but really focused on how to make your dog a pleasant part of the family. I'll keep working with him and remember your reminders."
