We offer board and train packages and group training classes. Group Training is only offered seasonally. Follow our social media for info and updates on Group Training.
Our focus is on obedience training and behavior rehab for pet dogs and owners. We are not just focused on teaching your dog obedience commands, but more importantly to make good choices on their own, access a calm and relaxed state of mind, and live harmoniously with you, as their leader and guide. Whether you have a rambunctious puppy, an out-of-control dog that you dream of actually listening to you on or off-leash, or a more serious case of reactivity, fear, or aggression, we’ve got the answers you need. If you are struggling, we want to help.

4 Week Board & Train – Obedience & Minor Behavior Correction
This program is designed for dogs that are NOT human or dog aggressive or that have high levels of fear and anxiety as that takes longer to work with.
All of our programs are as much about behavior rehabilitation, as they are about obedience commands. So many dogs are great at obedience, but they cannot hold a command around basic distractions. So many dogs have great obedience, but they do not have a calm state of mind. It is so important for us and the dog, that we are able to work with the dog on these issues.
The biggest thing we will work on is having a calmer dog that listens better and is not reactive to all of the environmental stimulants around your home and in the world. With that starting theory, we are able then train your dog on the obedience commands that you are looking for. We look at dog training as a lifestyle and not a series of tricks, our training and rehab program becomes part of your lifestyle.
We work on the following with your dog:
- All Obedience Commands Above
-
Walking properly on a leash without pulling, barking, lunging, sniffing, or reacting to dogs and/or distractions
-
Sit
-
Down
-
Place command
-
Correcting bad behaviors – jumping up on people, jumping on countertops, mouthing, nipping, chasing, playing keep-away
-
Recall training (with and without distractions)
-
Separation Anxiety (some separation issues need a longer program)
-
Crate Nonsense (barking, whining, etc.)
-
Heeling properly on leash and eliminating leash reactivity (some intense leash reactivity needs a longer program)
-
Building confidence with your dog so you get a better off well mannered dog.
-
Calm on Command training – having your dog be calm in all situations, without him/her having to be worn out with hours of walking/play time
-
Leadership skills with your dog so your dog understands proper pack order with humans, eliminating a lot of pushy behavior dogs have. This is also great for nervous fearful dogs.
-
Work with your dog on the anxiety and fear that is driving most unwanted behaviors

6 & 8 Week Board & Train – Obedience and Severe Behavior Correction
This program is designed for dogs that are exhibiting intense dog aggression, fear aggression, human aggression, and biting. We are extremely well known for working with extremely challenging dogs, in fact no dog has ever been turned away from our program because of a bad/dangerous/unwanted behavior. We deal with dogs who have bitten children and adults, as well as dogs who have gotten into dog fights. Working with aggression is not like working on an obedience command, it is much more intense work, takes much longer, is much more dangerous for the staff and the staff dogs and takes multiple trainers working with the dog for safety.
How far can your dog go in a longer program? That is a great question and has lots of variables, during and after the training. It is our goal to get as far as we can with your dog while he/she is with us. Our goal is always to be able to get a dog to exist around people and dogs. As far as how much interaction they can have, we will not know until we start working the dog. We will always give you an honest assessment during and after training of what your dogs immediate limitations will be. The great thing is when you follow through with our training program (you get 6 – 8 hours of 1/1 training with us) each day/week/month just keeps getting better and better with you and your dogs behavior.
