Professional Dog Training & Obedience

Dog Training that Works!

Like many, you probably love your dog, but despise their behavior. Puppies and grown dogs alike tend to make their own rules. This means jumping, pulling on the leash, biting and tearing up the house.

Puppies and grown dogs alike can do thousands of dollars in damage. You can stop this bad behavior and take control of your dog owning experience!

We help rewrite the rules you dog knows. We teach your dog to be responsive to commands, attentive to your directions and help them to manage their excitement to outside stimulus (cars, people, door bell). We can make you and your dogs lives much easier!
