How Does it Work

There are several ways in which we can assist you in training your dog

Training Groups

Training in a group setting allows owner/trainers to see how different dogs react to similar instruction thus deepening their understanding of canine behavior.  Groups provide socialization for the dogs as well as a helpful training distraction.

One-on-One Training: Train the Trainer or Coaching

Successful training begins and ends with the owner.  After they leave my care, it is up to the owner to maintain the training standard.  Coaching is an effective way of enabling the owner to train his/her own dog.

Board and Train

The most effective approach to training, the board-n-train service ensures that the dog will be exposed to focused training at regular intervals in new environments.  Though it depends on what stage of training the dog may be in, typical board-n-train sessions are 4 weeks.
