Personalized Training
When it comes to dogs, one size does not fit all. One-on-one training gives you a tailored, personalized experience in your dog’s own environment. We come to you. We train in your home, at your local park, or wherever you need us to be.
Puppy Program
Start your puppy out right with our Puppy Prodigy Program. Our tailored curriculum will help you get the dog you want and is designed to prevent common behaviour problems.
Trick Training
Go beyond “sit” and “stay” to discover what your dog is truly capable of. We specialize in training exciting and complex behaviours that will revitalize your bond and amaze your friends.
