We are a LGBTQIA friendly business and believe everyone deserves the same kindness and support, love and respect that we use to teach dogs and their people!
.
Positive and effective scientifically proven methods of dog training and dog walking services!
Have happy, safe, go-anywhere dogs for life! Teaching you to build a positive relationship with your dog is our number one focus. Learn to have a great mannered, off leash dog that can go hiking, to the beach, out to lunch and be calm and under voice control.
We do not use clickers, we train with our voice and do not believe your dog needs a treat for every request to be a great listener! We teach dogs in fun and respectful ways.
Our Teaching Style:
We use lure and random reward training with our puppies and adult dogs and phase treats out. We believe your voice is your greatest tool and YOU are the greatest reward not the treat pouch! Treats are phased out as your dog continues to build on success! We train with play!
Please join our facebook page to stay up on heat, rain and class cancelations!
Rule of thumb if it is 95' or more there is no class, if it is raining 30 minutes before class there will be no class. Master's Classes meet in the rain!
WORK LESS PLAY MORE!
You will learn to speak so your dog listens and behave so they behave. It is all about the play and love we share and teaching in positive and respectful ways!
