Our goal is to help dogs become well-mannered companions and to help owners deal effectively with problem behaviors using a gentle, reward based method.  Our services include programs such as Group Classes and Private Lessons where we teach you, the owner, to train your dog.  Also, we offer the Day Train Program in which we train your dog for you! 

Great for owners who are able to commit to an 8-week course and prefer the economical benefit of a group setting. Dog have the opportunity to socialize with new people and new dogs while learning to listen and obey in a distracting environment.

Puppy Kindergarten is open to pups 6 weeks to 20 weeks old.  This is a brief 3-week course that focuses on proper puppy socialization and on educating owners on: housetraining, chewing, nipping and jumping up behaviors.  Puppy K is NOT a prerequisite class for Family Dog 1.  Puppy K and Family Dog 1 can be taken simultaneously.
