    We provide each dog with a custom-made training protocol and will work with you to outline clear, attainable goals for your pet. The length of stay varies depending on the pet and family’s needs. This program only addresses obedience issues and does not cover behavioral issues.

    In-Home Private Lessons

    We come to your home. This is for pet parents who would prefer to be the primary teacher, and just need professional coaching to get the best results. We like to call ourselves professional spotters. This helps if you have multiple dogs, and can be more budget friendly. Our private in-home lessons generally last an hour.

    Behavior Modification

    Dealing with behavior issues in dogs can be very frustrating. We often deal with dogs experiencing human aggression, dog on dog aggression, fears, anxiety, and shyness. Often times these type of dogs lack the proper structure and leadership in the home. We start from the home first, then we work our way to other environments and places. This program requires a lifetime of commitment management , and truly understanding dog behavior.
