Our Services

Basic Obedience Training

Laying the groundwork for a well-mannered dog begins with our Basic Obedience Training. This program is essential for both puppies and adult dogs, focusing on teaching fundamental commands like "sit," "stay," "come," "heel," and "down." Our training approach is designed to enhance communication between you and your dog, setting the stage for a harmonious and respectful relationship.

House Training

Our House Training program is tailored to teach your dog where and when it's appropriate to go to the bathroom. This training is crucial for puppies learning for the first time, as well as for older dogs that may need a refresher. We use proven techniques that include establishing a routine, crate training, and positive reinforcement to ensure your dog learns quickly and effectively, making this essential process as smooth and hassle-free as possible for both you and your pet.

Behavioral Consultations

Whether it's excessive barking, separation anxiety, or any other behavioral issue, we are here to help. Through behavioral consultations, we provide tailored solutions, understanding the root of the problem and offering actionable strategies to address and rectify them.
