We work with you and your dog to improve the relationship you have with each other. Much of the "training" we do is with you so you can reproduce our results at home. We offer individual sessions at Camp, in your home, or in other locations
(trails, stores, etc.).
Have a new puppy? Bring them to Puppy Camp! Puppy Camp is a 3 day a week program where puppies get safe socialization, basic obedience and desensitization. Start your puppy off right, from the first day you bring them home. Even if your puppy is older, we can tailor Puppy Camp to meet their specific needs.

Some issues with dogs are the result of not enough exercise or not enough social time with other canines. We provide a safe space for dogs to run and play with each other, communicating, correcting, and learning appropriate canine etiquette.





Now registering for our fall "Basic Obedience & K9 Communication" class.
The class is designed to give you the tools to teach basic skills and manners, better communicate with your dog, and understand why they behave the way they do, and teach them the requirements to be certified as a
Canine Good Citizen.
The sixth week is the AKC Canine Good Citizenship qualification test.​
