Training

We recognize that every dog is an individual and offer personalized training to meet you and your dog where they are.

Wouldn’t it be nice if your dog always listened to commands and could accompany you on adventures? We teach pet owners how to effectively communicate and build a harmonious relationship with their canine companion. Whether it’s basic obedience or behavior modification, we help clients learn simple yet effective techniques to get the results they are looking for.

Our Methods

We utilize a variety of training methods and tools based on what we believe is best for you and your dog. We believe clear communication is essential toward building a successful and cooperative relationship between dog and human. We put a heavy emphasis on play, markers, and rewards.

Some of the tools we use are: food and toy rewards, clickers, collars (buckle, prong, starmark, martingale), slip leashes, praise/affection, back clip harnesses, flexi leashes, crates, and e-collars.
