Experience the Best Version of your dog.

Dog training is a bit like teaching a new language – dogs are from a very different (critter) culture, and don’t speak human, so it’s up to us to help them learn.

Your Dog is Normal, and Able to Learn

Everything your dog does is normal… for a dog. When we bring our new family members home, we don’t always like the things that come naturally: pulling on the leash, chewing, excessive barking, jumping, and so on. Dogs need to learn how things work in the human world. The good thing is, dogs are very smart, and when we teach them in ways they understand, and make it fun, they quickly learn good manners.

Need more tailored help?

If you are experiencing behavioural issues with your dog, private training may be more suitable.

That’s what our dog training classes are all about: a positive, upbeat environment with learning for both the dogs and their people.
