We can help you navigate some of the more extreme behavioral problems that dogs can exhibit.
This is for dogs of all ages that require extra help with learning social skills and becoming acclimated in social settings. Whether they are learning to understand social cues or don't have a lot of experience with other dogs, we can help them navigate interactions with new friends.
If your dog is exhibiting over-protective tendencies over food/people/places/things/toys we can help desensitize them to those situations.
If you have something specific you want to teach your dog we can talk about doing specialized or advanced training. We also offer Canine Good Citizen prep training.
*A consultation is required prior to all trainings.
Your pup stays with us overnight so our trainers can work with them at their peak learning times. They would stay Monday-Friday. On Friday you will have a full hour of training with a trainer and your pup to go over commands and ask all your questions! There are different packages and levels for Board & Trains, as well as multi week options. *Quotes on this option will be given at the consult.
Private lessons are another great option for 1-on-1 training with one of our skilled trainers to ask any questions and get in-depth, hands on learning on how to do training at home! We can work on creating a training plan for you and your dog. For Private Lessons we require owners to be present.
*Packages available for discounted rate*
