Our Programs
Our puppy and dog training programs are designed with an emphasis on positive reinforcement & fear free teaching. Guardians can expect a fun & engaging learning experience for themselves & their dogs. We understand that each dog is unique, customizing our approach to address the dog's specific needs for behavior training or change. Through positive reinforcement techniques and engaging training sessions, we teach essential skills that not only provide effective socialization, but also build the behaviors you love in your companion dog and promote overall good manners . As you participate in our programs, you will discover new ways to communicate with your dog, creating a relationship built on kindness, safety and science-based learning.
We'll come to your home! Both your dog and you will learn in a familiar place.
And, after each session, you'll get a summary email, links to videos and PDF's of handouts (if applicable), so that you will have reference materials on everything we teach you. Plus, we'll be available to you when you have any questions!
Join us to create a cooperative partnership with your dog, making every moment spent together more enjoyable and fun for you both. Let’s get started on this journey of learning, teaching and connecting!

Initial Assessment & Customized Training Strategy
Every dog or puppy is unique. While every dog or puppy learns through the same scientific process, they may learn best through different strategies. Every guardian has a different education in dog training. We appreciate that some of you are just starting out & some of you may have trained your other dogs. Every guardian also has different behavior needs or skills in their journey with their dog! We get that! Our Initial Assessment will help us get to know you, your dog, your training knowledge & your training objectives.We'll visit your home to see how your dog behaves in his own environment. We'll spend an hour and a half with you & your dog, discussing the challenges & your training goals, observing your dog, understanding your current training education & the relationship with your dog. We'll suggest 1 or 2 concrete training ideas to get you started right away, and discuss the on-going training plan, specific to your needs & objectives.
