We don’t train dogs. We train the people who love them. Our expertise isn’t simply dog training; rather, it’s our ability to be great communicators—to teach every dog owner to better understand their dog’s perspective, behavior, and body language; to know why they’re doing what they’re doing, not merely how to change their behavior or train a command.

It's never too late to start! We offer a wide range of choices geared to training your pet to become an obedient, healthy, happy, in-shape member of your family. Our training provides you with the most up-to-date, integrated and common sense approach to dog training.  We teach owners how to train their puppies and dogs using a humane and fun approach. We teach you how to communicate effectively with your pet, so that your dog understands clearly what you want and expect. We show you how to use the commands to your advantage whether at home or on a walk. Our off leash training offers a greater level of control, whether going to the beach, mountains, or just around your home you get complete freedom from the leash. Our obedience training produces dogs that listen better and respond to you even when distracted. Dogs need to learn many skills to live in our homes and become well-behaved members of our families.

A proper dog training program is the cornerstone of good behavior in dogs.

Training is no different than teaching. And in order to teach successfully, excellent communication is needed.

Big to small, we train them all.
