Their certified trainer, Ashley Clark, CPDT-KA, offers small group classes, private lessons, puppy playgroups, and specialty courses such as K9 Nose Work, Cooperative Care, agility, and parkour.

Their programs are designed for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs, addressing foundational life skills, behavior concerns, and advanced goals. They prioritize individualized attention with small class sizes (max 3 puppies or dogs per class) and provide detailed resources, blogs, and FAQs to help owners understand the “why” behind training techniques.
