First Time Training

Picture
If you have never had a dog or you have had ten dogs growing up; it is never too late to learn new techniques and attend a lesson. We offer a unique training style that helps you understand how canines would like to communicate with you, different training styles for different personality types, why less is more, life lessons and how to avoid a lot of predictable bad behaviors that come with age and maturity. There are many reasons we may want our dog to be in our lives, from the jobs they can perform to make our lives easier, to helping us control our emotions with their unconditional love.  "There are no bad dogs", I am here to help you see your dog the way I see them, to know why they want what they want and to be here and give you the support you need, every step of the way.
