Audrey’s approach is tailored to each dog’s unique needs, with a focus on building strong human-dog relationships.

The business supports puppies from 8 weeks old through adult dogs and offers progressive training paths from puppy basics to advanced obedience and AKC CGC/CGCU certification.

In addition to group classes, in-home training is available through Molly, a trainer associated with the business. The business also promotes community through Facebook updates on group walks and encourages ongoing learning through virtual sessions that adapt to clients’ busy schedules.
