Private Training

At-home or on-site training best for specific issues and/or mild behavior concerns. Sessions offer focused training tailored to your needs!

Board and Train

While your dog boards with one of our trusted partners, they will enjoy a 2-week immersive training program focused on basic obedience.

Small Group Training

These classes emphasize life skills and basic to advanced obedience. Small group sizes help dogs learn to focus and work around other dogs and people.

6-Week Classes

Six-week programs cover a variety of specialty topics, promising fun for you and your dog. These include Puppy Kindergarten, Agility, FIT Dog, Trick Dog, and Nosework.

Seminars

One-time pop-up classes highlighting a single commonly experienced issue. These include polite greetings, recall, door manners, and more!

Daycare Add-ons

Partnering with local doggie daycares lets us bring training and enrichment to your dog, including grooming prep, enrichment camp, and more!
