We are a Fear Free training facility. We are focused on the welfare of your dog and your relationship with your dog. Experienced, educated and certified, using our copyrighted, science based program to teach the skills your dog needs without punishment. Teaching you how to ask for and get the dog to offer these skills. Punishment suppresses but does not teach the dog what they need to know! This can lead to frustration for both you and your dog and cause the suppressed behaviors to re-occur in more dramatic and dangerous ways, damage your relationship and create a fearful and anxious dog.
Service Dog Training: We work with you to train your own service dog. Dogs must meet specific requirements including age, health, temperament and task suitability. Owner Trainers must be able to commit the time and effort required for training, maintain a training log and provide for the dog's health and welfare. At this time our Owner Trained Service Dog program is full.
*We work hard to keep our pricing reasonable so that our services are available to a broader base of clients. Please contact us for current pricing.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in us.
