What’s best for my dog?

We believe every dog can benefit from learning how to dog in our human world, regardless of size, breed, or age.
Each of our sessions is customized to your individual dog’s needs and can be purchased in a single session or a package at a discounted rate.
We cover basic and advanced obedience, and behavior modification.
Sessions are in your home, neighborhood, or wherever needed. We’ll discuss all of your training goals in our first session and come up with a management and training plan that’s easy to follow. In addition to the hands-on training, you will receive emailed reading material and homework. If you want additional guidance, we do have packages available. We also offer email and phone support between sessions.
See pricing for all services on “Information” page.

Obedience and Manners

This is for dogs without reactivity or phobia issues.
Ideal for puppies, teenagers, and adults who need foundation training or fine tuning. 
 
 
 
Address common behaviors like jumping, pulling, barking, digging, chewing, potty training, puppy nipping, recall, public manners, among many others. Packages are a great option for puppies or newly adopted dogs, however, sometimes one session is all you need!
Puppy socials:
Get a head start on proper socialization with our puppy socials. Dogs are the best teachers of other dogs, so it’s ideal to make sure their interactions are with dogs who are going to display the behaviors that we want your dog to pick up. 
 
Puppy socials are open to all puppies under 6 months old who have had their second set of shots. 
 
Call for more information and to set up a puppy play date. 

Behavior Modification

Ideal for dogs with reactivity in the form of aggression or fear. Since sessions occur where needed, we can get a lot done at once. Aggression, reactivity, fear, phobias, bullying, canine compulsion disorder, and separation anxiety are some of the common issues we address with behavior modification sessions.
Phone consultation needed.
