TRAINING OPTIONS

"Andy sent me daily videos and explanations of how he was spending time with Accalia and what he was teaching her. Not only could I see that Accalia was happy, she was relaxed and calm. His videos showed me how to reinforce good behaviors so that I could do the same when she came home.
She's been home a few days now, and it's like I have a new dog. I can sit in the morning and drink my coffee without her getting all crazy any time someone walks by."

Who this program is for:

Are you a parent who wants a well-trained dog but can't bear to send them to a boot camp?

 

This program allows you to drop your pup off in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day on your way home from school or work.

Walking the Dog

Who this program is for:

Our board and train programs are designed for dog parents eager to make a significant positive change in dog's obedience and behavior.
