We are happy to be able to offer dog training to our customers! We have several options available, that our knowledgeable trainer can talk over with you to see what would be the best fit. Here we focus not only on basic commands in obedience training but also on ensuring that your pup understands how to gain self-control. Our trainer can help you teach your dog how to work on improving their manners, hold their obedience commands longer/through distractions, work through anxiety or aggression issues, redirect the need to chase/bite/jump in a constructive way, how to help you keep your dog from getting into things at home, fun tricks, and so much more!
The first step is speaking with our trainer (in person or over the phone) to discuss your specific needs and established a path to achieving your dog’s long term goals.
