happy dog

We do things a little differently here.

Sure, your dog will learn "sit," "stay" and "come." For us, it's about more than that, though. Teaching the commands is the easy part, facilitating the growth of a relationship—that's the fun part. We take pride in helping you and your dog understand each other on a deeper level—giving you the tools to build that foundation of trust and respect.

General Obedience Offerings

  • Puppy Classes

    Puppy class is a four-session course where puppies have the chance to play and socialize, be handled by many different people, and learn some neat tricks! Your puppy will learn important skills in a healthy environment to help them become well-behaved adults.

    Puppies must be under 5 months old and up-to-date on vaccinations. You’ll receive time-proven tips to help with common problems such as house training, nipping, chewing, jumping etc. We will also do some fun testing to determine your dog’s dogality type!

  • Board and Train

    Our board and train program is popular with busy families! Dogs spend 10 days and 9 nights with us establishing a strong training foundation.

    After 10 days, a private one hour session will be scheduled to demonstrate the commands learned and show you how to reinforce them. You will also receive a video link of your dog demonstrating the commands and techniques utilized to control problem behaviors.

  • Daycare

    Doggy daycare is great for individuals who work full-time and want their dogs to have a great foundation in obedience! With us, we do the work to train your dog for your convenience. We offer two daycare packages with various customizable options to meet the needs of you and your pup.

    Each package includes daycare days, private training sessions, and a set of commands that will be taught during your dog’s time with us. As a bonus, we include a video or two showcasing what your dog has learned.

Over the course of four sessions, puppies participating in puppy class have the chance to play and socialize, be handled by many different people, and learn several basic tricks. These group classes meet at the training center, typically weekly. Group puppy classes are important for developing healthy socialization skills with both people and other dogs. We’d argue that group puppy classes are one of the most important things you can do for your puppy.

Puppies joining the class must be under five months old and have shot records showing they are up to date. Cost is $175 and due on the first lesson.
