Have the best dog ever! Our comprehensive board and train obedience program teaches your dog all the basics but goes far beyond what pet shops or other companies offer.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE

Does your dog feel insecure, look nervous or bark out of fear? Is your dog afraid of loud noises, seeing strangers, or just scared of everything? Does your dog lose it when you leave home? Or…?

RESOLVING AGGRESSION

Living with an aggressive dog is stressful. Never be certain what will happen on your daily walk, potential injuries, vet bills, legal consequences, etc. You don’t have to live like this.
