Why No Prong Collars?

They don't work.

Not for "regular" people.

Yes,  I can hear it now,  "you
must use it correctly"  Frankly,
the only people I have seen do
that are trainers, and in every
case the dog yelped.  So if you
are ready to apprentice for 10
years AND cause your dog pain
go for it.

This brings me to my second
reason,  my approach is based
on building a relationship with
your dog so your dog enjoys
working for you and actually
wants to be with you.  This is
not for everyone, there are
those who want the dog to be
an automaton.  If you are one of
them,  there are plenty of
trainers out there who will help
you use pain and force to  
create that kind of dog.  That is
not what I do.

  • Puppy Classes (8 to 14 weeks old)- Our puppy class emphasizes puppy socialization and
    teaching your puppy manners. In this class  you will learn how to get your dog to play nicely and
    how to get their attention around other dogs and distractions. Your pup will also learn all  the
    basics like walking on a leash, sit, stay and more! This class runs 1 hour each, once a week for 5
    weeks.

  • Tween Class (5 to  18 months old)- This class is specifically designed for the challenging
    adolescent dog. In this class we will spend lots of time on loose leash walks. Your dog will also
    learn skills like how to come when called, and you will learn how to get your dog’s attention
    around other dogs. This class is also perfect for reinforcing behaviors, like down and sit, that
    your dog has forgotten. This class runs 1+ hour each, once a week for 5 weeks.

  • Leash Walking Refresher- (Adult Dogs) - This is for dogs with no serious behavioral
     issues  but  do not walk well on leash.  We will teach you to get your dogs attention
     back and make walking fun again.  This class runs 1 hour, once a week for 4 weeks.

  •  Recall Refresher - (Adult Dogs) - This is for dogs with no serious behavioral issues
        who like to wander away from you when you call.  We cover getting your dog to come to you
        and getting your dog to stop when moving away from you. This class runs 1 hour, once a week for
       4 weeks.

  • Behavioral Issues- These sessions are completely customized to your needs. Whether your
    dog is jumping on people, chewing on your belongings, suffering from separation anxiety, or has
    no manners, we can help! We will work with the entire family, kids included, to ensure that
    your dog’s negative behaviors come to an end.

  • Adoption Counseling- If you’re thinking about rescuing a dog, we can help you choose the
    one that best suits your lifestyle. We can even help set up a training protocol to ensure the
    happiness of you and your new furry friend!

  • Pre-Puppy Counseling- In our pre-puppy counseling, we come to your home and help you
    get ready for the arrival of your new puppy! We will cover:

  • Puppy-proofing your home

  • Creating your puppy’s new personal space

  • Buying the right puppy supplies

  • What to do in the first 2 weeks (including potty training, preventing separation anxiety,
    etc.)
Private Lessons

Private lessons are an excellent choice  to train any dog! These
lessons are customized to your specific dog training goals and
can be Zoom or in person (with proper safety protocols in place).
