Dog Training and Learning to Speak "Dog"

Your dog loves being part of your family, but sometimes doesn’t always understand their position in your “pack”. Training helps your dog understand what you expect of them and allows the two of you to form a strong bond and partnership.

Basic commands all dogs should know are sit, down, stay, walk nicely on a leash, come when called and leave it. We use up to date positive reward training methods and allow dogs to learn new skills at their own pace and in their own way.

Today’s society expects dogs to have social skills that allow them to participate in activities with their family such as being friendly with people, without jumping on them, knowing how to play with other dogs, and manners in the car.

We offer group and private training classes throughout the year. Most of our training classes takes place in our light, airy atrium, one of our large fenced-in play yards, or our heated/ air-conditioned home-like training room, but we also do field trips to get more socialization or to work on specific issues.

We have several different group training options available:

Puppy Pre- School Social Hour is for new pet parents and puppies between 12 weeks and 5 months at the start of class. Puppy socialization is extremely important for a successful lifetime with a new family. Socialization is the primary goal of this course, but we also cover other important puppy stuff, such as housetraining, how and why to use a crate, walking on a lead, sit and other useful aids to grow a wonderful family pet. Class meets once per week for 6 sessions. Cost is $250.00 including all training materials. Reservations required in advance
