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.

Katherine has great energy and enthusiasm for teaching her students! She makes classes fun and gives easy to understand instruction to set your dog up for the most success.

Baxter has been at Crossbones for 3 months, going on his 4th. His growth, development and increase in obedience has been staggering. In our first class together he was quite obviously the problem child and now when we go to class, he is a model citizen. When I am out in public, I get compliments all the time about how well behaved he is. All credits go to Crossbones!! Aside from Baxter's improvement, he absolutely LOVES to go to school. When we take the exit he he knows exactly where he is and by the time we get to school he ready to burst out of the car to go see all his friends, both human and furry. This place has been such a gem and an incredible help in raising a menace of a puppy. I couldn't recommend Crossbones more!!
Crossbones was a great help for our reactive rottie. We worked with PJ, who was both knowledgeable and professional throughout our courses.
private lesson with Katherine was very worthwhile and enlightening. We covered a lot in a short time.
