Our Puppy Kindergarten classes are for Puppies 2 to 4 months old. The Puppy must have at least two rounds of Vaccinations. During this class we create a safe environment for the puppies to socialize during their critical socialization period. We also start to work on basic obedience, while troubleshooting any puppy issues you may be having at home. For example: biting, potty training issues, jumping, etc. All Puppies will be evaluated to pass their AKC STAR Puppy Test.

Our Levels Training Program is for Dogs 4 months and Older. They must be up to date on all their vaccinations. We will need proof of Vaccinations before you can attend any classes. This program we work from Basic to Advanced obedience. Each dog starts at Level 1 and works their way to level 4 at their pace. We love to teach a few fun tricks. This program is Membership based, and once you purchase your membership you can come to classes as many times per week as you would like. Our classes run Wednesday nights, Thursday nights, and Saturday mornings. Our Program prepares dogs to pass their AKC CGC Title Certification. AKC CGC Tests are offered on site at our Location at owners request.

Things we can help with include: Basic Obedience, crate Training, potty Training, separation Anxiety, jumping/counter surfing, reactivity/aggressive tendencies, resource guarding, leash walking, general anxiety, and confidence building.

Having issues with problem behaviors at home? Finding it difficult to go for walks in your neighborhood? We offer phone and zoom consultations for behavioral issues you might be facing. Once we've established a game plan and laid out the issues we're facing, we then can offer One on One Sessions with our Behaviorist.

Our Pop-Up Seminars offer a one time drop in class for you and your dog to attend together. Each seminar is taught by one of our head trainers on a specific subject in dog training - from nose work, emergency recall, to no-jumping - our seminars are designed to be a 45-minute interactive and informational class to educate owners on tips and tricks on the subject as well as take time to practice and learn with our head trainers present to guide you through the class!

Learn fun new tricks with your pup to show off to all of your friends and family. These classes help to increase the bond between owner and dog while teaching them to communicate better and learn fun tricks in the process! Learning tricks helps strengthen a dog's problem solving abilities, giving them plenty of mental stimulation and another outlet for owners to bond with and exercise their dogs. In our Novice Class, we will teach all the tricks needed to pass the AKC Novice Trick Title tests while offering on site testing at the end of every 6 week class. Tricks include High Five, Crawl, Push Buttons, Close Door, and many more!
