Basic Obedience
Basic obedience training builds a clear communication system between you and your dog. These lessons focus on teaching the foundational commands that create structure, reliability, and everyday manners, both at home and in public settings.
We practice commands including sit, down, stay, heel, place, and recall exercises. We ensure to instruct you to work towards consistency, proper leash handling, and responsiveness under distraction as well as guiding your dog through stressful situations.
Advanced Obedience
Our advanced obedience programs build on foundational training to achieve a higher level of reliability, precision, and control in real-world situations. This program is designed for dogs who already understand basic commands and are ready to work with increased distractions, distance, and duration off of the leash.
Our program focuses on refining obedience commands such as extended stays, off-leash heeling, reliable recall under distraction, and maintaining position with environmental changes. Dogs learn to respond promptly and consistently, even in stimulating or unpredictable settings. This program emphasizes clarity, accountability, and calm responsiveness, strengthening the relationship between dog and owner to it's maximum potential.

Behavior Modification
Behavior modification training addresses unwanted or unsafe behaviors by identifying the root causes and systematically changing how your dog responds to triggers. Every dog is evaluated individually based on temperament, history, and environment.
Common issues addressed include jumping, excessive barking, anxiety, reactivity, and aggression. Our training focuses on teaching alternative behaviors, improving impulse control, and building calm, predictable responses rather than suppressing behaviors.
Service Dog Training
Our service dog program is designed for dogs being prepared to perform specific, trained tasks that can be helpful towards their owner's disability. We focus on developing reliability, neutrality, and precision in a wide range of environments while meeting high behavioral and obedience standards.
Training includes basic and advanced obedience as well as task specific behaviors tailored to the owner's needs. These dogs are conditioned to remain calm and focused around distractions such as crows, loud noises, other animals, and unfamiliar and unpredictable settings.
This program requires a strong foundation in obedience and a stable temperament in order to learn specific tasks, whether it be medical alert or commands.
