Our Services

We do not rely on a one size fits all approach for your dog, instead we will discuss with you what your goals are and recommend which tools would be most effective to obtain your desired goal with your dog. Some of the tools that we commonly use are a slip leash, flat buckle collar, prong collar, e-collar, and a retractable (Flexi) leash. It is very important that the correct and most effective tool is used so your dog can learn as easily and as quickly as possible. Our primary reward/reinforcement method is through play and social interaction. We do train with food, however that is not what we focus on or rely on. We truly believe that learning is best done when paired with play and not focusing on chasing a piece of food. It is also very important that dogs know when they are right, but also when they are wrong. Only rewarding them for doing right and not allowing mistakes to happen completely shatters the flow of learning. You must make mistakes to learn, its a requirement of the learning process that everyone, including dogs, go through. Our job is to ensure that the learning process goes as smoothly and as stress free as possible.

We will be as transparent as possible when we work with you and your dog. With that being said, it would be unfair and unethical for us to ensure a 100% guarantee for training as there are many variables such as owner consistency, dedication, and hard work. As we want to provide the best experience possible for you and your dog, we only work with owners who are 100% committed to the process. The consistency and commitment requirement along with following through with the training is what creates that dream dog. We are there for you and your dog throughout your dog's entire training journey, for the rest of their life. That's our promise to you that we can guarantee.
