Start your puppy off on the right paw! We are proud to be the first in our area to offer DAY SCHOOL. Using Positive Behavior Shaping, your puppy will have a blast learning how to learn! Day School isn’t limited to puppies but can be utilized for older dogs as well. One of the biggest reasons our owners love the Day School option is having your pup or dog home with you in the evening after an engaging, fun-filled learning experience during the day and you being able to train your puppy with video guided tutorials of YOUR pup/dog, sent each day with new training examples! Enjoy a pup or dog who has had plenty of mental, and physical stimulation during the day to ensure a better evening, each evening.

Some clients wish to further their dogs education by enrolling in our Advanced, “Out and About” training adventure! This training is not limited to the out and about setting, but also builds upon skills already achieved during basic training. An example most all owners love is a silent command; after hearing the doorbell, your dog will “Place/Bed/Kennel/Spot”, automatically. Many owners love and cherish the simple behavior for safety and calm actions when company arrives. Our “Out and About” is available in many facets educating each dog, individually. Maybe you are likely to take your dog to dog friendly dining restaurants? What about your children’s ball games? Concerts in the park? Would you like to have a well behaved dog while traveling on vacation? Maybe you’re interested in taking your dog to console other people at hospitals, nursing homes, children’s homes, or at disaster sites, if so, the Therapy Dog Program will suit your needs. All of these can be obtained with our Advanced, “Out and About” training. Completion of the basic training is required to enroll in Advanced. Also included in the Advanced package are AKC’s Community Canine &/or Urban Public Access Test, additional Unlimited Advanced Group Classes (out and about in a group) and (3) more private lessons-out and about are included in this program. *Due to the length of time moving around from place to place, we take only a very few Advanced clients and NONE from July-September, due to extreme heat.
