Our program starts in my classroom first, then leads to private in home and outdoor lessons designed to teach your household dog training theory and its application in real-life scenarios. For instance, you’ll learn how people in wheelchairs can effectively train their dogs, and understand the difference between trick training (where a dog does not listen in distracting environments) and true obedience training (where the dog responds reliably to commands in distractions).
Because dog training is a lifestyle, our private lessons smoothly shift to outdoor sessions, mastering handling amidst heavy distractions, both on and off-leash. Our approach creates dogs that are environmentally savvy and confidently obedient, ready to conquer any challenge and strut through life like they own the sidewalk.
