We realize that in today's day and age not everyone has the time to locate and/or take their dog to group obedience classes. Furthermore, group obedience classes do not take into account your individual lifestyle or your individual dog. Your lifestyle and your dog are different from everyone else's. This matters. It matters to you and it matters to us. We don’t try to squeeze you into a mold. We don’t take a “one size fits all” approach. We tailor your dog's training to fit your dog and your lifestyle.

During our initial consultation we will determine what your dog needs to learn based on your goals. We also take into account your individual lifestyle. With this information we will customize a training program that is convenient for you and effective for your dog. We will provide you with materials such as training logs to track your dog's progress. We supply you with homework sheets that are straightforward and easy to understand. We also provide factsheets that are written with your dog in mind. During our training time with you we are available by phone or e-mail to answer your questions.

Day training:

We come to you. Then we will teach your dog in his own environment where he is the most secure. More importantly we teach your dog in the environment in which he will be living. Why does this matter? Dogs are poor generalizers. This means that WHERE your dog learns is just as important as WHAT he learns. And unless you are lucky enough to have the perfect dog, all dogs need training!
We come and work with your dog in your home. We do the work while you are away or busy tending to other responsibilities. Once a week we will meet with you to show you what your dog has learned and we will teach you how to maintain the behavior. We focus on excellence in training your dog and catering to your unique lifestyle. We want you to be able to relax knowing that your dog is in good hands. There is no guilt involved in our training. We understand that people have busy and different lifestyles and we are here to help.
