Dog Training Classes
Our small-group classes focus on building strong communication between dogs and owners through practical skills like sit, down, stay, and loose-leash walking. Using a three-phase teaching approach, we create realistic training scenarios in outdoor settings to ensure effective learning. Each 4-week session includes personalized instruction and written lesson summaries for continued progress.
Behavior Consultations
One-on-one sessions address specific behavioral challenges such as separation anxiety, reactivity, and resource guarding. Our certified trainer employs Applied Behavior Analysis to identify behavior triggers and develop customized modification plans. Services include in-home visits, written recommendations, and ongoing email support to ensure lasting behavioral improvements for dogs of all ages.
Workshops
Focused group sessions target specific training skills or provide educational presentations on canine behavior topics. These interactive workshops offer concentrated practice on particular challenges like leash walking or socialization techniques.
