Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you do therapy dog tests or training here?
At this time (April 2017), we do not offer therapy dog testing. However, we do offer AKC Canine Good Citizen testing which is a prerequisite for some therapy dog tests, and some of our group class students have gone on to pass the therapy dog test. We can help you train your dog toward this goal.

Had great experiences at Crossbones with PJ and Kat. My dog and I both learned so much to help him navigate his strong feelings about other dogs when we are out on walks. Highly recommend Crossbones for all of your dog training needs!
We love Crossbones! We first got connected doing reactive recovery training with our senior rescue who had been through the ringer in her past lives. Our current dog did the Basic to Brilliant training sequence and now goes to daycare regularly. Training options are plentiful and have helped trained us as owners, too. The Crossbones team is wonderful!

Our family worked with Crossbones to help train our puppy, Harper. The entire team was helpful. We especially benefitted from our private training time with P.J., but it was helpful that the training packages included both group class time and private tutorial time. We really loved the "drop-in" plan — which does require class registration, but allows you flexibility to fit in the classes in a sequence that makes sense for your dog. All in all, it was a positive experience for us and for Harper. We strongly recommend Crossbones for puppy training!
Our dog really enjoys it at Crossbones! The staff are always friendly, and he is excited to see them!!
