Basic Obedience Class

Our basic obedience class is geared towards beginners who want to learn to train their dogs in a group setting. The goal of the class is to teach the students how to train their dogs. The class meets one night a week for six weeks. We teach motivational techniques to train the dogs. The class covers how to train a dog the following commands: sit, down, stand, stay, heel and come. Solutions to behavior problems are also discussed. Students will attend all classes and spend at least fifteen minutes a day training their dogs. If this is the program for you contact us to enroll in the next class.

Private Obedience Lessons

Private obedience lessons are available for those who want one-on-one attention or those with hectic schedules who cannot make the basic obedience classes. Private lessons can follow the basic obedience class outline or can be tailored to the student's needs. Private lessons can be held at our location or in-home. Like the obedience classes, this program is for those with the desire and the time to train their own dogs. This format is a must for aggressive dogs. To find out more or to schedule private lessons contact us.

Board & Train

We offer two board and train programs. Both programs include training, kenneling, feeding and grooming. We work the dogs three times a day using motivational training techniques. When you leave your dogs with us they are in good hands.

Four-Week Board & Train

During the four-week program we teach the dogs on-leash obedience. We use motivational techniques to train the dogs the following: sit, down, stay, heel and come. A private lesson on how to handle the dogs is given upon pick-up.

Five-Week Board & Train

During the five-week program we teach the dog on-leash obedience as well as beginning off-leash obedience. Motivational techniques are used to train the dogs the following: sit, down, stay, heel, come, and mat. Included with the five-week program are three private lessons on how to handle the dog and a free, open invitation to any of our basic obedience classes. The dogs training is guaranteed for its life.

We also offer shorter and longer term programs at a per day fee based on the duration of the dogs stay. For more information or to enrole your dog in one of our board and train programs contact us.
