Dog Training

Get A Better-Behaved Dog Quickly:
Day School or Pri­vate Lessons

We help dog own­ers get the best pos­si­ble man­ners from their dogs. Does your dog’s unruly behav­ior seem impos­si­ble to change? Don’t be fooled. All dogs can learn nice man­ners, and yours is no excep­tion. We use pos­i­tive, science-based train­ing to change behav­ior quickly.

A few of the prob­lems we solve for dog own­ers every day:

At Home

  • Jump­ing on visitors
  • Rush­ing the door at the ring of a bell
  • Dif­fi­culty with “go to mat”
  • Basic obe­di­ence like sit, stay, etc.

Life With Puppy

  • House-training acci­dents
  • Puppy bit­ing and mouthing
  • Crate train­ing, alone-time training
  • Social­iza­tion to peo­ple and dogs

Out & About

  • Pulling on leash
  • Not com­ing when called
  • Bark­ing at other dogs or people
  • Not lis­ten­ing to direction

Behav­ior Problems

  • Aggres­sion issues: anx­i­ety, shyness
  • Pro­tec­tive­ness of toys, food
  • Thun­der pho­bia, sound sensitivity

Do any of those sound famil­iar? If so, we can help—with these and many other problems.

How We Work With You

Day School

What it is:  A fast, effec­tive way to get a well-behaved dog. We do the train­ing for you, then show you how to keep your dog’s improved man­ners from slipping.

How it works:  You drop your dog off at our train­ing facil­ity 3 times per week for half a day’s inten­sive train­ing and exer­cise. Total num­ber of weeks depends on your train­ing goals, but 2–3 is typical.

Day School hours:
Mon: 8:30am–12:30pm.
Wed: 12:30pm–4:30pm.
Fri: 8:30am–12:30pm.

Pri­vate Lessons

What it is:  Dog train­ing lessons work­ing one-on-one with a trainer. We coach you through the steps and you prac­tice with your dog in-between lessons.

How it works:  We work with you at our train­ing cen­ter (or we can come to your house) sev­eral times per week, depend­ing on your train­ing goals.
