  Private lessons, counseling and behaviour consultations

Our experienced dog trainers can assist you with specific problems you may be having with your dog, or give you one-on-one instruction if you prefer that to a group class.

Rescued dog with "baggage?"  Overly shy dog?  Leash aggressive?  Runs away when off leash?  Growls or snaps when asked to get off of the couch?  Jumps on visitors?  We can help!

Or perhaps you'd like instruction on a specific topic, such as retrieving in Competitive Obedience or the weave poles in Agility, or simply want to teach your puppy basic manners and group classes don't fit your schedule.

We use only positive reinforcement and clicker training: no harsh corrections, choke chains or electric shock collars.

Please give us a call; our instructors are always happy to discuss dogs and can set up a time convenient for you.
