Dances With Dogs

Training is one-on-one and fully customized, never group classes. Private coaching packages build toward the dog of your dreams over a series of in-home sessions, while a 90-minute Jumpstart Session offers a focused start in person or online. Day training lets a trainer work directly with your dog several days a week, and in-home board and train places your dog with a trainer for an immersive foundation. A dedicated remote program treats separation anxiety using a certified, gradual protocol. Dog walking, decompression adventures, and pet sitting round out the care.
