SERVICES: Offering training at every level!

Puppy Training/ Early Socialization 

If you just brought home your puppy, we will coach you through the extremely important early socialization period. We are certified as an American Kennel Club S.T.A.R. Puppy Evaluator and upon completion of puppy training, we can certify your puppy as a S.T.A.R. For more info on the A.K.C. S.T.A.R. Puppy Program click here.

Basic and Advanced Obedience

If you and your dog have the basic obedience skills down pat and are interested in continuing your education, we will advance your skill level. We're also proud to offer the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Certification Test for dogs of all breeds. Have your dog tested in ten skill areas to show that your dog knows how to behave in public! For more information on earning your official A.K.C. Good Citizen certificate click here.

Specialized Problem Solving

Our specialty is problem solving! If your dog is exhibiting extreme behavior problems, is overly aggressive or fearful with other dogs or people, or if there is a specific behavior that you would like to curtail or modify, we can expertly work with you and your dog to bring out his/her full potential!

 Personal Protection Training

Before training begins, all dogs are tested for a stable disposition. Chosen dogs will not show signs of nervousness, unnecessary aggression, or shyness. The dogs will be selected for confidence, intelligence, and trustworthiness around all people and situations. Dogs should be able to be pet by strangers, brought to the groomers, and interact as a normal family pet. Aggression shall only be displayed when the protect command is given or if the dog or owner is faced with a direct threat.
