A Higher Standard of Care for Your Dog

While we are the best in the business in changing behavior and building relationships. We also pamper your dog while they are with us. Each dog gets a complimentary grooming package when they are here. We will bathe, blow out, brush, and trim your dog’s nails (if needed).

20 acres of fields, woods, and trails for your dog to enjoy.

Puppy Program

The best training starts early. Our two-week puppy foundation program builds the skills your puppy needs now so they grow into the kind of dog every family wants to live with.

During their stay, your puppy will work on crate training, socialization, real-world exposure, marker training, place command, focus and engagement, sit, down, stay, and other core behaviors. Every session is structured to match your puppy’s age and learning pace.

After the program, you’ll move into private lessons with your trainer to make sure you feel confident continuing the work at home. At seven to eight months, your dog returns for a final training phase to sharpen everything they’ve learned.

Basic/Advanced Off-leash Program

Whether you need reliable on-leash obedience or full off-leash freedom, this program is built for owners of social, young adult, or older dogs who want real control in real-world situations.

Your dog stays in our home with our family throughout the program. No kennels, no facilities. Just focused, hands-on training in a real living environment.

Your dog will master loose leash walking, place command (elevated bed included), sit, down, stay with distractions, and corrections for jumping, nipping, and nuisance barking. For owners who want to go further, the advanced phase builds complete off-leash reliability in any environment, whether you’re hiking, at a brewery, or bringing your dog to a kids’ soccer game.

Reactivity Program

Reactivity is a common issue that plagues too many dogs in society today. It can be extremely difficult to live and deal with a reactive dog on a daily basis. Walking their dog at midnight or in places where other dogs don’t go. Give your dog the freedom they deserve and schedule a phone consult to see if we can help you and your dog
