Board and Train

Our training programs have been created based on the philosophy of bettering the lives of both you and your dog. From the first time we speak with you we work to develop a customized training that is tailored for your unique needs.

We not only train your dog but we train you, too! We work with you to give you the tools needed to continue the training long after our lessons are completed. We instruct you on your dog’s new learned behaviors to fully ensure that you understand how to reinforce and maintain these behaviors so that there is a natural transition to your life at home and throughout the life of your dog. And even better, most of our programs come with email and phone support and some with our lifetime support guarantee. We train dogs of all breeds from Dachshund’s, Shih Tzu’s, Lhasa Apso’s to German Shepherd’s, Rottweiler’s to Mastiff’s. For your convenience we offer many types of training programs based on your time commitment and budget. These programs are designed to save you time, money, energy, and frustration by equipping you with the information and knowledge you need to accomplish your training goals. Do you want a dog that understands what behavior is expected and is happy to do it for you? Do you want a dog that walks nicely on a leash? Do you want a dog that is well-socialized and well-behaved in public? We can help you get there! We will work one-on-one with your dog while he or she stays with us through one of our Board and Train programs or through one of our many Specialized Training programs. Just let us know what behaviors or manners you would like your dog to improve or learn and our team will customize a program specifically for you and your dog.

Private Lesson Program

This is our most hands-on program for dog owners. This is customized program includes three lessons and will give you the results that you need.

Our private lessons are aimed at more than just manners but creating a dog that everyone wants to be around. In these three lessons we work on manners such as sit, stay, down, the “place” command - for your dog to go to a specific mat or bed until released even with distractions, and other undesirable manners as well as added benefits of nice leash walking, coming when called, waiting patiently for food, and even socialization or the use of an e-collar if desired.
