Private Training / Public Classes / Other Services

We offer open-to-the-public Obedience (Basic and Advanced) classes, private consultation and training for behavioral issues, and assist current working dogs who need supplemental training to introduce or strengthen a task or skill. We also have private training for individuals who have an allergy or other physical impairment issues within that family that can impede seeking traditional public training for their canine companions.
