Types of training we provide

Private Training

Group Training

Our group classes are vastly different from your typical obedience classes. Not only do we provide visible results for every dog in the very first class, but we also teach you how to clearly and consistently communicate with your dog so they know to listen, no matter the situation.

Board And Train

Private Training

Our individually-tailored training program addresses your dog’s state of mind and identifies the underlying motivations behind their behaviours to tackle the root of the problem. These programs are designed to help people looking to achieve the highest level of obedience and reliability with virtually  ANY dog.

Board And Train

This program goes far beyond basic obedience. We will teach your dog to remain calm and heed commands in every environment, as well as curb any existing behavioural issues that need addressing.
