Our students are schooled in the power of benevolent leadership and safe, effective management strategies that aid in creating healthy, cooperative relationships between dog and owner.
Clicker training is available with all of our foundations classes.
Behavior Modification
In addressing problem behaviors, we work with dog owners to develop a training plan that best suits their lifestyle.
By assessing the dog-human relationship and instating simple training protocols, dog owners are able to restore balance in the family pet or competition dog.
