  • Purrfect Puppies - Dogs from 2 months to 4 months of age.  Start your puppy off on the right paw with this class focused on socialization and basic puppy manners. This class will help puppies from two months to four months of age learn critical life skills that will help ensure that they grow up to be healthy and safe adults. The primary development period ends at four months of age, so don’t delay! You’ll never have another chance to teach your puppy life skills that will affect them for the rest of their life.

  • Purrfect Basics - Dogs 5 months of age to senior citizens! Effective communication with your dog is the foundation for a permanent and positive relationship. Our experienced, certified instructors will teach you how to communicate efficiently and in a language your dog readily understands. Our science-based teaching and training methods will set you up for success in teaching your dog basic cues that are necessary for them to live safely in human society. Whether your dog is a new puppy or just new to your home, our certified instructors will make sure you and your dog learn to speak each other’s language!

  • Purrfect Citizens - Dogs 6 months of age to senior citizens! Completion of Purrfect Basics required. The AKC created the Canine Good CitizenŽ Program to encourage responsible dog ownership. Passing this ten-item test is testimony to the relationship and training between dog and its owner. However, there are challenges to passing this test, including the “no food” restriction during the test session. We can help you learn how to proof your dog’s training so that you don’t need to rely on treats as your only reinforcer. The session includes the Canine Good CitizenŽ Test (normally $15).

  • Purrfectly Polished - Dogs 6 months of age to senior citizens! Completion of Purrfect Citizens required and CGC Successful Test recommended. The security of knowing your dog will respond to cues no matter when or where is priceless. This class will challenge you to take your relationship to a deeper level while working as a team to complete tasks of increasing difficulty. You will learn to use reward variety in real life situations.

  • Reactive Rover  -  Dogs 6 months of age to senior citizens who are reactive/aggressive to other dogs while on leash. Learning to be comfortable in the presence of other dogs can be challenging for some dogs. As owners of such dogs it is imperative that we work hard to make them safe members of society. Taught by certified, experienced instructors who understand the unique requirements of dogs and handlers, this class will give both dog and handler confidence and skills to use to safely and comfortably navigate in our society.

  • Private Training - For most dog owners training classes provide the optimum environment for training and socializing your dog. However, private obedience training can be the right option for some owners.  If our class schedule conflicts with your personal or work schedule, our private obedience curriculums can be designed to meet your needs and goals

  • Day Training - Let Us Do The Work For You! We come to your home, teach your dog the behaviors you choose, then transfer the skills to you.
