Whether it’s for basic manners or more complex behavioral issues, our trainers are focused on not only training your pet, but teaching you how to effectively communicate with them. We are dog friendly, family friendly, and do not use shock collars, prong collars, choke collars, or other outdated and inhumane methodologies. Recognizing that well behaved dogs mean happy tales… and tails!
