We offer a variety of programs including basic, intermediate, & advanced obedience
training; AKC Canine Good Citizen certification, AKC Trick Dog; and specialized
training: Emotional Support Dog, Therapy Dog, Service Dog, and Behavior
Rehabilitation.  All training is done using positive reinforcement techniques (dogs learn
faster and retain what they learn better than any other method).                                                                                               We do not use choke chains, prong collars, or electric shock collars.       
 
Most dogs start with Level 1 Training which includes basic obedience skills (sit, down,
stay, come, loose-leash walking, leave-It (stop unwanted behavior), and socialization
(behaving around other people and dogs).  Training includes a stimulating dog confidence
course consisting of many challenging obstacles.  Learning to navigate the different obstacles builds the dog’s confidence, and judgment, and enables them to use their developed skills to better cope when confronted with new and different environments. 
   
The program also teaches owners various techniques to properly train their dog, correct
unwanted behavior, dealing with distractions, and taking your dog in public places. You
both can continue to build your skills by continuing your training (intermediate, advanced,
etc.) which includes training in public places, using hand signals, and earning additional
AKC Awards signifying your successful accomplishments.

​

Basic, intermediate, & advanced obedience group training classes are 6 weeks/sessions in duration.  classes meet once per week.
