What people have asked about this business.
Hi, do you have a havamalt dog?
I personally don’t own one, but that sounds like a cute one! We don’t sell dogs, but help you train them and understand them better! We also offer play times for small breed dogs.

A lot of people enjoy training their dogs here I didn't have a great experience my dog is very very large large breed Malamute and he still a baby and because of his size they wouldn't even come over and demonstrate with him like they did the other dogs because he was too big and they were scared of him it's a dog training place I'm trying to get him socialized and be around people and other animals and they couldn't help me with that he already knows how to sit and stay I just had to go somewhere else that would help my son

Really great dog training programs available for all ages and types of dogs. Knowledgeable staff. The open play is perfect for my small dog to meet other dogs and get all of his energy out.
