Services
Obedience Training
Our obedience training builds foundational skills through positive reinforcement and clear communication. We focus on commands like sit, stay, and recall while addressing behavioral challenges. Owners learn to maintain consistency at home, ensuring long-term success through daily practice and professional guidance.
Board & Train
Dogs stay with us 2-4 weeks for immersive obedience training. We teach commands, leash manners, and household routines. Owners receive detailed instruction on reinforcing techniques at home. A private session precedes training to ensure alignment with our methods and expectations.
AKC Evaluations
We prepare dogs for AKC Canine Good Citizen certification through structured classes and testing. This program emphasizes socialization, obedience, and public access skills. Passing establishes eligibility for advanced titles while promoting responsible pet ownership and community integration.
Scentwork Sessions
Scentwork engages dogs' natural tracking abilities through birch, anise, and clove odor recognition. Sessions teach handlers to set up searches in home or public environments, fostering mental stimulation and confidence without requiring physical agility.
Detection Training
Specialized detection training covers narcotics, arson, and search-and-rescue techniques for law enforcement and private clients. Our programs develop precision in identifying target odors, with advanced courses for professional K-9 teams and competition preparation.
