FirstBarkWe had our sweet puppy at Puppy Day School and it was the best experience. I recommend it for any new dog owner. They are so sweet and kind with the dogs and we learned so much from the evening training sessions and parent conferences. Everyone who meets our dog asks how we got her to be so calm and good with all people and dogs, and it is all due to Crossbones.

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.

The team at Crossbones is just what we needed to get our new dobie off to a great start! We saw a big improvement in her development in just a couple days and she keeps improving day by day.
Their customer service was so fast and easy when I messed up my food order!!! Also, the food was delivered to me at a local event I was attending and they were vending at, so that I didn’t have to pay shipping! Awesome!!!
Incredible selection of toys, treats and supplies for dog enrichment and very well-educated staff schooled in humane, up-to-date, science-based dog training methods!🧡🧡🧡
Great dog training supplies and toys. Reliably useful advice for positive-based training. Wish I lived close enough to take weekly classes!
