Behavioral Consultation
Our behavioral consultation is ideal for dogs that are displaying problematic behavior. Our experienced trainers will work with you to identify the underlying causes of your dog's behavior and develop a personalized training plan that is tailored to your dog's needs. We use positive, friendly, scientific reinforcement techniques to help your dog learn new behaviors and overcome problem behaviors.
Puppy Socialization
Socialization is crucial for puppies to develop into well-adjusted adult dogs. Our puppy socialization classes provide a fun and safe environment for puppies to interact with other puppies and learn important social skills. Our trainers will also teach you how to properly socialize your puppy to prevent future behavioral problems.
From Dr. Ian Dunbar, who has inspired dog trainers worldwide to makes puppy classes useful, welcoming & available to owners, breeders, researchers & veterinarians worldwide: "It's currently Dog Bite Prevention Week, which is a wonderful thing because preventing dog bites is the single most important part of training a dog. Life is very different with a dog that bites, especially a dog that bites hard enough to cause serious injuries."
Advanced Obedience & Agility Training
Our advanced agility & obedience training programs are designed to take your dog's training to the next level. We'll work with you and your dog to teach obedience advanced cues like heel, recall, and place. Agility programs focus on mastering equipment & skills, starting at safe puppy heights on through skills that have produced top nationally ranked agility teams. Effective proven positive reinforcement techniques are used to help you and your dog develop & maintain beginner & advanced distance skills.
Trick Training
Trick training is a fun way to bond & have fun with your dog, and are included in our beginning & advanced training classes -- fun tips on roll over, play dead, and spin.
Aggression Management
Aggression is a serious problem that can be dangerous for both dogs and humans. Our aggression management program is designed to help dogs overcome aggressive behavior through positive reinforcement training. Our experienced trainers work with you to develop a personalized training plan that is tailored to your dog's specific needs.

You will learn more than some simple obedience tricks (though of course those are useful for everyday life).
