Obedience Training
Our Obedience Training Program is a dynamic process that focuses on building trust, communication, and engagement. It teaches skills like sit, down, place, come, and heel and addresses mild behavioral issues.
Leash Training
Leash training for your dog is vital in keeping your dog's behavior in check. Our program is designed for dogs that pull on the leash, stop or refuse to walk, exhibit mild reactivity, or are new to the leash!
Puppy Training
Puppy training is important for creating the perfect bond with your new dog. We are proud to offer the best puppy training that includes all the basics of proper behavior including obedience, leash training, potty training, and more!
Behavior Modification
In our Behavior Modification Program, we focus on dog behavioral training for dogs with more severe behavior issues such as anxiety-related behaviors and reactivity. We address your dog's state of mind and the root cause to ensure a calmer, more balanced dog.
Off-Leash Training
Our Off-Leash Training program ffocuses on engagement, responsiveness, and trust, ensuring your dog listens and follows commands—no leash required. Whether at the park, on a hike, or in your backyard, enjoy the confidence of complete control and connection.

Some dogs and owners need more than a weekly session! One-on-One Intensive is a collaborative program that allows us to address your needs and goals with daily training sessions to hone your dog training skills.
