Services
Board and Train
Our Board and Train program immerses dogs in structured obedience training for 2-3 weeks. Dogs learn commands like sit, down, leash walking, and recall while staying at our facility. The program includes socialization, crate training, and two follow-up lessons to reinforce skills at home. This intensive approach suits dogs needing foundational obedience or improved social skills.
Day Training
Day Training offers professional instruction without overnight stays. Dogs attend sessions 4 days/week for 3 weeks, learning obedience basics and behavior modification. Owners participate in weekly lessons to practice techniques at home. Ideal for busy pet owners seeking structured training while maintaining their dog's home environment.
Puppy Training
The Puppy Training program focuses on early socialization, crate training, and basic commands. Puppies receive 14 days of structured learning, including potty training, impulse control, and playtime with other puppies. The curriculum prepares young dogs for lifelong obedience and positive interactions with humans and other animals.
Behavior Modification
Behavior Modification addresses complex issues like reactivity, fear, and aggression. Using e-collar conditioning and structured routines, we retrain dogs to remain calm in distracting environments. Programs last 3+ weeks depending on severity, focusing on impulse control, leash manners, and real-world distractions to improve overall behavior.
Group Classes
Group Classes teach obedience and relationship-building in social settings. Options include Foundation Pack for basics, Reactive Dog groups, and advanced Adventure classes. Participants learn leadership skills while dogs practice commands amid distractions, fostering confidence and consistency in real-life scenarios.
