Programs include private in-home lessons, intensive board and train programs lasting 4–5 weeks, and ongoing behavior modification sessions. Training progresses from basic obedience (sit, stay, recall) to advanced commands and aggression management. Owners are actively involved in private lessons to learn how to reinforce training at home. Board and train clients receive daily structured training, socialization, and care, with follow-up guidance upon the dog’s return.

Testimonials

“We noticed a difference in our beagle, Bernie, almost immediately. The techniques you showed us have enabled us to maintain all the progress Bernie has made. Thanks for everything!”
– Cynthia and Kevin Woods

“We were so surprised at how quickly our dog Rover improved behaviorally. No more destroyed furniture and no more biting. We expected it to take more than six months. We were pleasantly surprised that Rover had been trained in six weeks. Kudos to you!”
– Mark & Grace Wilson

“Paul is a miracle worker…My dog went from a disobedient dog that I loved but definitely disliked at times to the most loving sweet girl that my whole family enjoys being around. There is nothing we can do…where Astrid does not want to give kisses. My entire family is thankful to Paul.”
– Dawn & Mario Hernandez
