Obedience Training

Our experienced trainers are ready to work with you and your dog to achieve optimal results, tackling any behavior challenges or situations you need help addressing. Plus, they’ll serve as a trusted advisor on your continued your training journey; they really are the best!

We offer Puppy 101, Dayboard-and-Train, and private lesson programs to work with dogs of every age, breed, and behavior. Note that we do not offer group classes; all training instruction is done one-on-one. Our trainers use the balanced method of training -- treats and praise for 'yes', leash and collar corrections for 'no'.
