Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Positive Reinforcement Only

They offer both private lessons and group classes. Private lessons are customized to fit specific needs and can be held at the client’s home or a location of their choice. These are suitable for dogs with aggression, chewing, barking, jumping, or other behavior problems, and for those needing assistance with daily activities or emotional support.

Group classes provide distraction proofing in a park setting. They are divided into Beginning (for puppies and dogs over 4 months old, covering sit, down, stay, come, heel, and common problems like digging, jumping, barking), Intermediate (for those who completed Beginning or want to prepare for Obedience Competition), and Advanced (for handlers with dogs that have earned competition titles).

Pricing & Policies
