Forming good habits by learning life skills is easier than trying to correct or break bad ones. Springboard your relationship with your dog by leading with a positive direction, teaching the foundational behaviors needed for everyday life together. Establish a learning style that’s clear and easy for your dog to follow by enrolling in the Life Skills motivational, reward-based class. You’ll be teaching your dog over 9 behaviors designed to get your dog off to a solid and stress-free start. 6 weeks, Tuition $180

Puppy Power! This will be one of the most important time investments you’ll be making with your puppy. In this class your puppy’s perception about the world will begin to take shape. A portion of training will take place off leash in a real-life format. The all-important socialization skills will begin to develop with other people and dogs, in an environment that will provide positive experiences and associations. Begin building a confident, good natured, well-adjusted dog that is friendly with people and dogs by enrolling in our puppy class. 6 weeks, Tuition $180

Basic skills learned in the Life Skills class are refined, taking these behaviors to the next level by improving response time, becoming more efficient and stronger in communication of cues, utilizing higher level distractions, the introduction of several new cues, problem solving and a few tricks to round out a well-balanced dog, mentally fit with a repertoire of strong reliable cues. 5 weeks, Tuition $125

The designation of Canine Good Citizen, sponsored by the A.K.C., is the hallmark of a dedicated and responsible dog owner. Earning your certificate represents that you and your dog have achieved a level of standard which is emblematic of a well-trained dog and recognizes the effort invested in cultivating a well-mannered companion that is in good standing within the community. We rehearse to perfection the 10 skills that are tested on the final day of class. Even though there is a test required to receive your certificate, issued by the A.K.C., you are encouraged to engage your dog and enjoy the process in a relaxing setting, being well prepared so that the test will be a breeze. 4 weeks, Tuition $125
No Stress. If you don't pass the test at the end of class, you can repeat the class or the test at no charge.
