Services
Pet Obedience - For owners who wish to have a dog who listens to them and behaves politely around the house and in public, a basic obedience course is invaluable. Skills taught include a reliable sit, down, stay, come and walking on a loose leash. Basic manners are also taught, including how to greet visitors, mealtime manners, waiting at doors and stairs, staying off counters, and dropping toys and other objects when asked.
Puppy Training - Learn now to successfully navigate puppy issues such as housetraining, chewing, mouthing and rambunctiousness, as well as socialization, handling, and puppy obedience. The experiences your pup has during the first 16 weeks of his life are crucial to his development as a well-socialized and valued citizen. Best of all, this is when training is the easiest and most fun!
