We believe that one on one in-home training guarantees the highest level of success. Why? The home is often the hardest area to gain control of your dog. When training in your home, we can better assess the situation to provide you with the proper knowledge and skills to reach your goals. Only by seeing the dog interact with their own environment, can we truly understand and solve behavior and training issues.

Client Centered Counseling?. As professional dog trainers, it is easy to claim that we can train and rehabilitate any dog. That is why we promote Client Centered Counseling? in all of our training programs. This means we focus on you, the human, as the #1 training priority. We give you the education needed to maintain your dogs training and emotional well being for the rest of their lives. Please take your time considering our training programs, and give your dog the life they deserve.

On-Leash Training Consultations    Eight 60-90 minute sessions

Our most popular program! An investment in our on leash program will produce a well mannered dog that is confident in their obedience. One command control with quick enthusiastic responses from your dog will draw admiration and respect from friends and family. Beyond just training, this program educates you in canine behavior offered in our Behavioral Consultations, which is what makes our training so successful.

Off-Leash Training Consultations    Fourteen 60-90 minute sessions

The premium training program in pet obedience. The same commands as our on leash program except taken off leash. This program will create a dog to be proud of that you can take anywhere and have confidence in. Beyond just training, this program educates you in canine behavior offered in our Behavioral Consultations, which is what makes our training so successful.

Name Training This sounds simple, but many dogs are not properly conditioned to their own name. Name training is best described as an attention getting exercise that teaches a dog to look directly at us upon hearing their name. This lays the foundation for future obedience training and control in your dog.

Leash Manners This is not precision heeling, that comes later. Leash manners educates you in proper leash handling skills and teaches the dog to walk calmly at your side with no leash pulling, jumping, running in circles around you, or other improper behavior. Many concepts from our Behavioral Consultations are introduced at this point in training to help address any other behavioral problems that may exist.

Sit / Sit Stay Dogs are trained to sit quickly upon the first command. Your dog is also conditioned to maintain a sit stay until released or given an additional command.

Down / Down Stay Dogs are trained to down quickly upon the first command. Your dog is also conditioned to maintain a down stay until released or given an additional command.

Come Dogs are to return to the handler and sit squarely in front of him/her upon the first command. Your dog is to maintain the sit until released or given an additional command.

Heel Dogs are to heel at the handlers left side in a precise manner adjusting to the handler's speed and direction without command. Your dog is also to perform an automatic sit on a stop.

Place Dogs are trained to go to a specific spot such as a crate or mat and remain there until released. Many people ask how this is different from a down stay. A down stay requires a specific body posture that must be maintained while a place command allows the dog more freedom to stretch, scratch, etc. A dog may place for several hours and it would not be fair to expect a formal down position to be held the whole time. A dog can relax in the place command. This command works great to keep your dog from under foot when at home or out with the family. You always know where your dog is!

Release Every command must have an end and it is up to us to communicate this to our dogs. When your dog has completed an exercise and nothing else is expected of them, a release command such as free is given and they can do as they will, providing it is not improper behavior.

Leave It Dogs are always getting into things we wished they would not. When commanded leave it your dog should immediately leave alone whatever had their interest, whether it is a ball, rabbit, trash, or your evening dinner.
