Our Training Philosophy
Dog training is all about forming a cooperative relationship with your dog.
Willing, eager, compliant, smart, mannerly. Listens and follows directions! A dog who is polite, easy to live with and fun to take everywhere with you.
Our goal is to teach your dog how to listen and follow directions from the whole family using positive, reward-based methods that do not rely on physical strength or intimidation.
Our instructors will give you the tools you need to build communication and a satisfying relationship built on mutual respect and trust through kind and gentle training. Group classes start monthly, beginning through advanced levels.

I loved our head start class and am looking forward to continuing the series. My 80 pound puppy was impossible to walk before the class. We had our last beginner class yesterday, and this morning he accompanied me to a large hardware store, no pulling or bad behaviors. He got many compliments and pets and responded calmly. As someone who has studied principles of reinforcement at the graduate level, I can say that our instructors really knew what they were talking about. They also had lots of great practical ideas for problem solving.
Thanks! Karen Alexander

Great trainers who care about pets and their owners. Always took the time to answer questions and provide guidance. They accommodate needs of the doggies in each class. This was the second puppy we have trained with them and they've been great at all classes!
