our training is designed as “IN-HOME TRAINING” – CUSTOMIZE to your needs
In-home training has many benefits for both people and pets, including the ability to work around your busy schedule and train your dog in the environment they experience every day. We will take advantage of being able to train at your home and in your neighborhood, exposing your dog to the distractions they see regularly. This will help them break bad habits and address behavior concerns as you build a stronger relationship with your dog.
