We believe that training your dog should be about creating relationships and having fun! Our certified trainer has designed a curriculum that promotes good relationships between owners and their dogs and revolves around using positive reinforcement techniques, educational games, and good old fashioned fun to bond with and teach dogs how to behave appropriately. We also know that training doesn’t end after puppy hood so we offer a full range of levels including Puppy 1, Puppy 2, Beginner 1, Beginner 2 and Urban Dog curriculum’s for all skill levels and ages! If that’s not enough, check out our Agility classes as well!
We use only positive reinforcement training techniques including treat, toy, play, petting and praise rewards.
